I've been a bow hunter longer than an AR guy but while researching optics for my new AR I came across some bow sights I hadn't seen before. I''m pretty skeptical especially about their durability, how they're affected by snow, rain. but I am curious. Has anyone tried them? This is one here http://www.tacticalarcherysystems.com/products/sights/sabo-sight.html There are a few others but this one has multiple pins.

Haven't tried one. The Sabo sight looks interesting, though.

I just heard about another that has a selectable number of pin images and can also mimic a pendulum. Anyone else heard of this one? I don't know who makes it

looks interesting and definitely cheaper than the Garmin sight. I currently use an IQ 5 pin, but may have to see if I can test one of these.

That Garmin sight looks pretty cool, however it seems like everything would go to shit if you were trying to snake an arrow between some close trees.
You know the deer is 30-35 yds but the trees at 15yds cause the point to show 15 yards and FUBAR your shot.
