Default New bow sight ?

So I am in the market for a new bow sight and I stumbled across this one http://iqbowsights.com/define-range-finding-sight/

I’m curious if anyone owns one? Can anyone see any issues that might come with it ?

I see 2 issues

1. Weight and overall effect on balance. It is 18 oz and most of that weight is forward and to the quiver side of the bow. So if you run a quiver and the IQ you are going to need some serious counter weight in a side/back bar.

2. Unproven electronics. No idea how reliable or tough the range finder is. Up side is if the range finder fails, it is still a functioning 5 pin fixed pin sight.

Believe this sight just came out in February so probably going to be hard to find some unbiased first hand reviews. Maybe do a search on AT.

Ive been running IQ sights for quite a few years and I love them. Will be trying this out when its time for a new sight and some more reviews come out.

I don't believe they added the "retina lock" to the new sight, something else to consider.
