Laser broadhead, looks promising.

I'd try it.
ETA: On second thought it may not be legal in PA.

That will be the catch, where is it legal and illegal?
Check your state laws.

That's a no-go in Ohio
ETA: I could see it causing more misses than hits, anyway.

You'd have to have different arrows sighted for different yardages.

For sighting in your bow and target it's legal.
That is what I would use it for. One more tool in your pouch to become a better shooter.

Getting blood and bone in the electronics has to be a pain in the ass to clean

except arrows don't fly in a straight line like a laser points in. At one particular range it might work.
I don't see how this is useful
Maybe I am missing something.
But it did give me an idea I am going to try.

The problem would be that you can't use those broadheads to hunt with in Ohio, so it wouldn't be benificial to sight and tune your bow in with them. You would just have to change everything for the broadhead and arrow combination that you would be hunting with.
The parabolic flight of an arrow would cause problems. Line of sight and point of impact wouldn't be the same once you are out a few yards.

Why do you have to ruin my hopes of being a better bow hunter?

Did you see the deer I harvested last year? A whopping 4 pointer, embarrassing at best.

I missed it. But I wouldn't hold a deer's size against anyone.
When I was getting into hunting, there were quite a few years in a row when I didn't shoot anything. At one of my first hunting spots, a 4 pointer would have been a definite wall hanger.

Seriously, I've killed bucks with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 points –– EVERY single number from none to eleven. Nowadays, I just shoot the big ones, and let the smaller ones walk. But, I wouldn't trade those small deer hunting memories for anything. If you hunt long enough in an area conducive to decent-sized deer, you'll bag some of them eventually. And hey, if someone is content with shooting small-racked bucks, I have no problem with that either. They're still hard to kill just the same.

Holy crap, you are right.
It was working yesterday, not so much today.

i dont see a good application for this. The laser is not going to arc like the arrow is going to need to inorder to adjust for distance and gravity. Seems pointless and a waste of money to me.

Definitely not legal here in UT.
Besides the only time I have ever seen an arrow fly in a straight line is on T.V. and in the movies. That arrow is gonna land where it wants and not necessarily were the tip is pointed, that is why your sights have to be adjusted for point of impact, why would you put the sight on your projectile..... It just seems kinda backwards to me.
*edit* Ok it seems that it can be adjusted for elevation and windage, even so that still requires you to have the same form shooting every time..... no substitute for practice that is going to magically make you a better archer. You would be better off passing on this and spending that money on equipment that could really help you. The old peep site setup encourages and helps to repeat proper form. I cant see reason to replace that for a laser.
