That may just be the ticket for when I mount a whaling harpoon on my alpha hang-on.

I have a hard time calling ANY modern compound bow a primitive weapon ....

I don't currently own any traditional equipment, but I agree with you PT. As far as that goes neither does a lot of equipment the some of the modern day bowhunters use today. Rangefinders, battery powered lighted sights, weight forward arrow shafts, broadheads that open up after they hit, etc.

this is what compounds have brought to archery. truth is, if you shoot compounds, then yo ucannot say one damn thing about this bow - its just a tech up from what you shoot is all. its all in the name of making bowhunters more accurate, less wounding, etc right ?

if you want to truly bowhunt, go traditional equipment, everything else is a bastardization of what archery should be anyway, just varying degrees

Not what will be our excuse when we miss

At first glance it looks cool, but I see some problems/disadvantages with it. Choppers already brought up a few of them. That also leaves you stuck with using the sight that comes with the bow, which uses optics and electronics. Two things I don't personally care to have on my bow. What happens in bad conditions when the optics get wet, fog up or something else happens, and there is the issue with the batteries or an electronics failure. It also doesn't leave many options for sight mounting and adjustment. Not everyone uses the sights in the same location depending on how they hold and anchor the bow. How much adjustment is in the sight? What if I want to shoot 50, 60, 70 or more yards? How far will it range and adjust. Not saying I would shoot a deer that far, but I do shoot at those distances. And can assure you if it ranges that far some moron will take a shot that far. I don't see the point of getting a $900 bow with a shoot through target riser if I can't shoot long distances with it.

Also if it ranges and moves the dot accordingly why are there three dots in the picture? That really confuses me right there, and I'm just looking at the picture, not trying to shoot a deer in a stressful environment.

I sort of like the rangefinder idea, but don't care much for the built in sight. I would prefer to use my own sighting system honestly.

This would be something I would love to see on my rifle, but these scopes are $900 alone and they don't adjust the cross hairs for the shot that I know of.

And by the way, if it is moving the dot to correct for yardage wouldn't you have to program the ballistics of your arrow into it? I would think at the very least would need to know the weight and speed of the arrow, maybe a few other things.

I won't even touch the ethics part of using it.

You wouldn't be to popular at the 3-D range either.

I'm not overly excited about that particular shoot through design either. I would rather see the rangefinder/sight gone and have a more open shoot through area than that little circle.

My opinions and nothing more.
