Garmin has a new elec. bow sight

[JeffK]

To much technology for a bow. Wonder how it will work in dense fog.

You’re in the wrong line!!

If you're saying they're less, a few are, but I don't know if I'd call them top of the line. If you're saying they're more......well, I said "or more".

pretty neat technology. I would like to see it with one pin that adjusts for range automatically. In other words, come to full draw, put the pin on the target/animal and it reads the range and adjusts the dot. That way, you always have the right pin at the right range.

I’d like that too.

That's what it does.

Only downfall I see is it's heavy at 14.7 oz.

Making it so it's not really hunting anymore, just a point and shoot.

Your way off the mark in my opinion. You still have to put yourself in the right position to have a shot opportunity. That requires scouting, scent control, stand placement, etc. There's a lot that goes into making a hunt successful. If somebody puts all the work in to get a shot opportunity, and are willing to drop that kind of money on a sight, more power to them.
With that being said, I couldn't spend that on a sight.

I have been thinking very seriously about buying this sight and probably would have if I did not have to pay for a mount on an Axis in the next 2 weeks!

millennial sight for sure. Took forever to be able to use lighted knocks & pins out west.......so it will be a long time before this gets the green light for an elk hunt.

I know several folks here in NM using them this year, so I don’t guess it will be THAT long.

I wonder what hunting with archery equipment will look like in another 20 years.

$800 for the site, $800 for the bow, $4000 for the lease....
Pretty expensive venison...

I can walk through the woods and kill deer in the clothes I wore to work yesterday. Its not scent control, camo or any of it. Its how good a woodsman are you...
