Sounds like it's taking the "hunting" away. I'll stick to the range finder or perpetration game instead

Interesting concept for sure.

Well. Not sure what I think about that.
Either way, illegal here in Oregon.

An actual sight? I haven’t seen that. Checkout the video. This is in a different ballpark and sure to bring up legality questions in many states as mentioned above.

Well since GAIA and Google Mapquest are going to put a serious hurt on Garmins business...

they HAVE to come up with something quick!

Who buys a GPS anymore? $400 when you can add an app to your phone for $30 and only carry one device?

interesting. expensive but interesting

Pretty cool if you ask me. People always talk about wanting to make a clean, ethical kill, but then complain about things like this that will only help people be more successful in that clean and ethical kill.

I think this is why they have amped up the wearables line. Between that and the InReach hopefully they can stay in the game. They also make an alternative to GoPro that I rarely hear anything about....

I wouldnt mind playing with this for month...

I wonder how many states are going to look into outlawing this. Looks interesting, definetly a step up in technology.

And per the gps statement. I still always use my gps. I can't count on my phone battery for nothing.

 

[NYSKIER]

That's some minimum retail price

The updated version will be linked to a release.

Shane / Ontarget7 posted on Instagram that he'd been reviewing it for Garmin. Would love to hear what he thinks...

He loves it, said they hit it out of the park first try!

What states would this be illegal in ?

As much as I hate some technology, this seems like it could make for more ethical shots.

How about rain/snow/dust/dirt and mud on the lens? Seems like it would be as much a pita as hunting with a lens on your scope is, not worse since you can just unscrew the lense and clean it or leave it off. I know none of us care about the size of the animals we shoot, but I suspect Pope and Young will have something to say about it.

Pretty neat. Not sure I could ever trust a completely electronic sight as my only means of aiming/shooting the bow, especially on a back country hunt. You have nothing if it fails.

Based on my experience with Garmin's dog tracking systems I would be really hesitant to jump right into any new technology/devices that they come out with.

That's pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind playing with one.
