Bullseye archery makes this lens, has anyone used it, also does anyone else sell this type of lens? It sounds like a good idea?

I have two different versions of that lens. BriteSite also makes a similar concept lens called the X-View. It has only the center magnification area to see through, and everything around it is frosted glass. Takes some getting used to to feel comfortable shooting this lens, but some really seem to like it. I'm not quite there yet (being comfortable with it) and still have been using my 6X with a center pin.

W460,

I haven't used the True-spot lens and can't really comment on it.
The guys at www.ArcheryTalk.com are very fond of the True-spot.
You might post over there and get their opinions or do a search at Archery Talk. There is a ton of information in past threads on the True-spot.
Mike at britesite makes the similar but not exact X-View lens.
There have been heated arguments at Archery Talk on which lens is better and who copied who.
You can view the X-View at http://www.britesitetuner.com
Mike also makes what I consider the finest arrow rest in the world.
The Pro Tuner. It is the ultimate target rest and Mike just introduced a new hunting launcher for the Pro Tuner that you can read about in the Manufacturers Forum at Archery Talk.

I have seen the True-spot, but not shot it. I use the Britesite X-view for indoor spot shooting, which is as described above. Mike also makes the Twin-view, which is the original concept behind the True-spot, only done a little differently. Mike lens' tend to be more powerful than others, i.e. if you get a 4x from Mike it is comparable to other manufacturer's 6x.
