"Laser Sighting" for bows from Garmin

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/fi...tal-bow-sight/ Amazing technology, is it legal here?

Legal - yes.

Will it work in cold weather? Who knows. Most rangefinding scopes haven't fared so well.

Very cool concept though. Looking forward to seeing reviews next season.

Ya, that is really neat! Kind of along the lines of the Burris eliminator scope, but only for a bow. I like it! Will I use something like that? Probably not, since it will not be Pope and Young legal. Neat idea though, a lot of people will benefit from it.

Looked at a few videos online the hefty price tag of likely $1500+ CAD isn't worth it IMHO.

i wonder how many guys are going to miss animals because this thing picks up a faulty range off a tree limb or leaf

My concern with this is people will overlook the work required to become accurate with a bow and simply rely on the technology to do it for them. Not that this is much different than other weapons but nevertheless...

That was my first thought. When possible I like to get a "double" reading before taking a shot. Other wise, I range trees, bait, etc and adjust myself that way.

If it really is like the Burris eliminator, then it's going to have problems in cold weather. Cool idea though

With the speed of the new bows, judging distance may not be as critical as it once was but I think if people spent as much or more time judging distance as they do shooting, they would be much more consistent shooters. If your a year round shooter work on the technique inside in the winter and on judging distance in the spring, summer, fall.

Back in the day I used to shoot outside a lot and with the exception of a few warm up shots to start I was constantly walking,stopping, shooting. It helped me judge distance a lot better and I found it more fun than just shooting from the same distance. Gopher shooting with judos is also great for judging distance.
