Amish bowsight
 
Ok so I work in the leather business and I have alot of Amish shops that do work for me. Most of them are bowhunters. This guy has a new innovated sight every year. I had to take a picture for you guys. Yes, they are rifle sights mounted on what used to be a contractor's level. Surprisingly, he isn't half bad with it. It's not quiet, the string rubs, and it ain't pretty but he's creative. He said his next idea involves a pistol scope.

He's creative to say the least. It's pretty cool to see what people can make.

That is what makes technology possible.


Did you tell him about the hindsight?

I am sure I would injure myself with that.

Yeah, inventive but I wonder how many deer he's poached with that, the Amish in this area are famous for overkill.[&:]

Insane is more like it, not ingenious:D. Why don't he just a match stick scotched taped to the riser[&:]:D

He may be creative to you... to me he's a nut case.[8D] Putting rifle sights on a level plane just doesn't do it for me.. a bow hunter.

One this is for sure, I have 18 shops and like 2 of them don't shoot the first antlered deer they see. Its unreal, about a third of them are in Western PA and the rest in SW New York. I know there is big deer in a few of these areas but they are mostly meat hunters.

O I am not putting my stamp of approval on this invention of his, I just thought it was intersting.
