Any of y’all seen one of these in person yet? I got to see one at Archery Unlimited yesterday. That joker is wicked and very pricey. I’ll probably never own one because I absolutely do not want a glass lens on a bowhunting sight.

What time were you there, my son and I was there around 1:30 while someone was having a new Matthews Triax set up with one of those installed.

That's a really cool bow sight but I'm with you, I don't want anything with a glass lens on a hunting rig.

I would think that has glare written all over it on a field at the wrong time of the day.

Buddy of mine bought one. Sent me a pic of the sight. Had no idea that it cost that much

All the electronics involved in this sight just means something else to break or go wrong and for a $1000 at that.

I’m not concerned about the electronics. I’m more worried about having a lens on it.

Burris is making one of these also. And from what I've read it doesn't have a lens in it. Supposedly a better warranty also. I believe its called the oricle.

I wouldn't want the lens but, hiking in 3-10 miles, that thing would worry me. Also, if it performs like a rangefinder in fog/rain, it could be a hunt killer.

That’s a nice one too. I’d like to see one in person. Still very pricey for a bow sight.

They're on eBay for $700-$800. You should be all over that...

Anyone know if these are legal for hunting in Alabama? I ask because the Burris has a laser that is used to align the range finder during the initial sight in.
