lol...you guys are as critical as me. I actually was wondering if 3d guys were using them. I never have a clear shot past 25 yds in the thick woods I hunt and I don't need to judge distance so critical.

RE: Built in rangefinder in a sight???
YUP, I remember when I started shooting a recurve they had one that was suppose to do the same thing. The sight pins were 4 different size circles made out of wire. The biggest was probably a half inch round. In theory you just put the top of the ring on a deer and if the bottom touched his belly, well you just let the arrow go and the deer is dead. LOL Problem is, I started deer hunting in the Texas Hillcountry. A really BIG BIG deer might field dress 125 pounds. LOL I shot the biggest doe shot on Camp Bullis one year out of 750 does. She dressed at 112. LOL

ps.---I have a lot of respect for you trad. archery guys.. Until I first started shooting a trad. bow, I had no idea how different/instinctive/more challenging it is... But so much fun

Seriously, I've never had a rangefinder nor' do I have the need for one. I rarely will have a shot over 20 yards and if I would happen to get a shot opportunity at a longer range I wouldn't need it anyway. Just in practice I've found that I can judge distances pretty good.
It's a good idea but I don't it will be a big hit.
