Is there such a thing as a scope for a compound bow?

Archeryman

If you are referring to a scope like a rifle scope, there are a few different ones on the market. BSA makes a red dot scope for bows that comes on an HHA sight bracket. Holographic also makes a scope for archery. I have set up the HHA scopes for a few hunters. They are very touchy to get set up. Never set up any of the holographic sights. If you have an archery catalog for Cableas both sights are listed in it, I think.

Why don't more hunters use them? What are the drawbacks?

Archeryman

I am not sure on the drawbacks on a holographic sight as I never used one. The main draw back I seen on the HHA sight was the general setup. It definately takes more than one person to set it up right. The ones I had set up for other people I had to make adjustments while they were at fulldraw to get it to work right.

The biggest drawback for me would be the price[:-][:-]
