Laser Ranging Sight
How hard could it be to transfer this kind of technology over and into a crossbow scope?

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
Wow that is slick Nog and I can tell you that I would stand in line to have scope with those features. $$ within reason of course.

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
I saw that price, can’t imagine what a scope with that technology would cost.

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
That would be a great addition to any excal, in the form of a scope. Give it a few years and they will have it for us. Hopefully the price will come down too. If I was still shooting my SwitchBackXT I might be tempted to buy one.

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
What prevents that from being adapted now?
Mount seems like a problem.What else? Switch could be adapted. I don't know how bow speed is accommodated but crossbows have drop like verticals although maybe not as much

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
I thought it did talk a little about the programing draw length arrow weight speed of bow etc.
I totally agree - should be easy to adapt to crossbow hunting
bolt/broadhead total weight and fps of crossbow -make an adaptable rail mount
bit pricey --
the only down side i see is a lot more hunters are going to start flinging shots at longer distances - especially in wide open areas

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
Perhaps not a lot.
BUT I greatly prefer a scope over those kind of sights.
With this now out there, I would be downright surprised if a few of the scope companies ain't payin' attention...
Here's Hoping...

Re: Laser Ranging Sight
I have never really done any hunting with a red dot scope. I have a vortex on one of my rifles but I also prefer a scope for my hunting. At crossbow ranges it might not be a problem for me. I would just have to try one. My eyes get worse every year...

not a little sight attachment / fixture - look at the attached brain needed
