That is the first I have seen this. I am new to archery but it looks to good to be true. If It works I might be interested but I don't see how it would work with so many setups having different trajectories. I am also wondering what the price tag on it is. I would wait to get some actual reviews from average joes before I jumped on it. I also like a bigger bead on my sight pins.

I can see it now, billy bob joe bob picks one up, sights it in for 20 and 30 yards the week before season and then starts taking 50 and 60 yard shots at deer because the commercial said his bow would be "dialed in" at those distances if he sights in at 30 yards. What a crock.

well as far as the trajectories go, its all and extrapolation off that 2nd 30 yd pin... the 1st 20yd pin stays fixed because besides your 10 yard shot its your flattest trajectory with the least arc ... which 10 and 20 can almost be shot with the same pin they are so close if you have one of the faster bows, there is a bigger difference in arc from 20 to 30 than you would think and so on...... so 30,40, 50 , and 60 pins will move a greater distance apart the more arc you have in your arrow... and the less arc you have the less they will move apart according to the physics of the arrow in flight... as far as different draw weights which will result in speed differences as well as arc of flight, arrow weight,stiffness, and broadhead or field tip weight are all constants to your set up which will never change from one arrow to the next given the arrows and heads from one to the next are the same per say's the manufacturer. think of it as the same equation with different values will get you different solutions... and the pins adjust accordingly in a ratio between the speed of arrow, and the given yardage from target will give you arc which is essentially how much the arrow drops in flight... its actually pretty sweet and im surprised it took so long for something like this to come out given the technological society we live in these days... and the physic of an arrow in flight have been around for ever, all the manufacturers of arrows study these factors when they test there arrows before production.... simple physics.. lol

i personally would site the 1st pin at 10, and the others should still adjust accordingly from 20 on... I feel completely confident at 40 and no further... not to say im a bad shot at 50 either, but unless I have the best possible shot with plenty of time to get the shot off on a relaxed stationary deer or its the biggest buck i've ever seen, im not takin a 50 yd'er every day...

Ok the little research I have done says that these sights will be released in October and a black one will be $149 and camo will be $159? Also this technology is already out. Apparently trophy ridge already sells a similar sight called the judge that retails for $249 and received decent reviews. That being said just starting out I would prefer to set up my own sight and be confident that I my pins are set where I need them to be.

Heres a pic of my pins for you. They are set to 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yards. From the way I see those pins move, it wouldnt work with my bow. If you want to trust in some gimmick rather than how your setup actually shoots, be my guest. IMO, its pure marketing ploy.

WNYBuckHunter do you actually have a 60 yrd. shot where you bow hunt, or is that pin for messing around shooting in your yard?

Cause that is a long haul flinging an arrow 60yrds.

Its for at the range. I do have some spots where you could take a 60 yard shot, but I dont feel comfortable out that far. Ive been drilling some nice 50 yard shots at the range, and been pretty consistent with them, just doubt I would take anything over 40 while hunting. Maybe if I practiced more out at that range. Guys out west take 50 and 60 yard shots on mule deer, elk, etc all the time.

The math would work, as you could postulate the longer pin positions based on the gap between the 20 and 30 pin, you just gotta hope they did their job in setting the distances
