you would have to set the laser to the exact distance for it to work at that exact distance only. I have laser on a couple of pistols but never put them on. useless. IMO
For the record, I am NOT going to buy one of these! ... can't afford it now. (bought 3 bows and accessories for me and the kids this past month) But if i did, it would be more of a conversation piece - We techies loves our gadgets out here in CA. And something to terrorize the neighbors cat with as someone mentioned above? Even better. Besides, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to hunt with something like that in our glorious over taxed state... everything is illegal. Too many dagnam hippies in office...
ive shot mine at 30 yards, and its been prefectly working for me, i cant hunt with it in my state, but i plan on just shooting it as a hollowpoint cause it has great penetration and it takes a chuck out of whatever it comes into contact with. i love it.
Take it from a guy who has down extensive testing of laser aiming systems for archery gear. Its not practical. (as well as not legal in most states). Red lasers are useless in daylight and one would want a green laser instead. Light travels in a straight line, Arrows do not. You would only be able to sight in for one fixed distance and while you think you hold a steady aim, I can tell you that lasers placed in a variety of locations on bows showed that must have been having a seizure while trying to aim. The dot bounces all over the map and just screws with your head while trying to aim. This an expensive and less than useless idea.
I can't wait to see some idiot hunting celebrity try to plug this on TV. My guess would be Jimmy Houston or Hank Parker.
Im all for anything to help but this...... first, its just another thing to go wrong. second, gravity, flight of the arrow, and trajectory i could see efficting this thing. So no way. spend the time practicing. its half the fun anyways.
I don't know about other states but I believe in Michigan it is illegal to hunt with any device that projects an image onto the target, so other than being extreamly costly I don't even think they would be legal for me to use
I can see them making a field tip, that I get but I was on youtube looking at theses broadheads and every vidoe they some guy shooting and still had slights on his bow. Well if you trust them so much then take off your sight.
Who invented this thing? An arrow arcs, hence the pins for different ranges. And im just curious, but what happens to one of these things VS. Hard object? The steel drum test with one of these would be a good laugh!
