    I asked the same question about two weeks ago, still no reply's. Guess it's just still that new that noone has used it to form an opinion.

    Looks like a great idea and should help with form. I asked about it a month or so ago, but got no answers. Have you read any reviews from someone who's tested it. It's a little bit on the pricey side.

    No i haven't read any reviews on it i actually saw it on TV and was like thats a pretty cool idea and i wanted to see what people on this site had to say about it. I figure its a new product and if it stays out for a couple of years and becomes more popular they will make different types of IQ sights at different price ranges

    Cabelas has them for $179, only two reviews both give 1 star of 5 saying that it is a good idea, just don't work as intended for them. I thought it was a good idea too, but to spend that kind of money for something that can be handled by a $3 kisser button I just can't justify it.

    yea but its only two reviews but i understand not wanting to spend 200 bucks on a sight that is crap. a sight is very important on a bow. Once it get more popular they will fix it up and perfect the idea then every bow sight will have one just like the levels

    Just for the record it is supposed to fix bow torque as well as lining up the sight. Not sure it works just saying it is supposed to do more than a kisser can.

    i think the sight would be perfect for beginners learning how to develop good shooting form but its kinda pricey for beginners at $179

    the concept is good, but it just another thing a bowhunter has to do before he or she leasing the shot. Sometimes we dont have all that much time before we have a shot, seconds, and trying to, remove the bow from a hook or holder, set bow hold, set release on loop or string, raise bow and draw, anchor, align sight and level bow, establish sight picture, focus, steady, and aim, now trying to line up that green dot and keeping a eye on the level bubble on the site & your target. Thats just one more thing to keep in mind. Looks to be a good well built site.

    Just my 2 cents
