Just as I'm drawing my bow, my wife calls and the screen goes blank....................................

As her voice comes over the speaker: "Did ya catch anything yet?"

 

LOL!!!

[Lawdwaz]

Or:

 

Where is the remote

Did you feed the dog

I miss you sooooo much

My father is in town

Where are you

The furnace is making a weird noise

The dog just puked

 

It never ends.................................................<grin>

And the most famous one of all:

 

Her: "My car won't start".

Me: "Is there gas in it?"

Her: "Oh. . . ."

 

 

Edit:  Sorry for hijacking the thread!! Looks like a great idea though . . .

I dont know about your iphone, but my battery is shit when its cold out, and thats in my pocket. Cant imagine a big 12 walking by at 15 yards, and the phone/sight is out of batteries!

Well, you can solve the phone call issue with it if it can be installed on an ipod touch. My worry would be battery life in the cold.

did anyone notice it was ranging 40+ yrds inside his show booth? thats a big booth!

Awesome.

Airplane mode will turn your iPhone I to an iPod touch. Problem solved, and huge battery saver in the woods.

Seems like I'm going to have to spell this out a little clearer. I don't want my cellular telefreakingphone hanging off my bow and it has nothing to do with battery life or in oming calls.

Mainly because I don't want a cellular telefreakingphone to be my sight or rangefinder. Are you guys nuts?!?!

You could hard wire the damned cellular telefreakingphone to the NYSEG pole and I wouldn't use it. You could mute my wife and yours and I wouldn't have any interest in it.

How do you guys think I'd surf the net while on stand if my cellular telefreakingphone was strapped to my riser?

And another thing.........I don't think my friends at the Pope & Young club are going to be too thrilled with that gizmo either!

I couldn't see myself using it. It is a neat concept and as a range finder fine. The more technical and advanced we become in the woods brings down the whole experience. 

[WNYBuckHunter]

I wouldn't use it for either function. Was just sayin. Im trying to wean myself off of using my cell phone for anything in the woods except texts and phone calls, along with a pic here and there.

i think its a good start for an app. i have a range finder on my samsung and it works....sort of. its things like this that will help attract young hunters into the fold. i know my kids are glued to there electronic gizmos, and if you can use them as a gateway to get kids interested...cool! I get a kick out of some folks here saying they would never use anything like this on thier bow... reminds me of my grandfather asking me why was i wasting my time and money putting a scope on my rifle, thats what the metal things on the barrel are for!!!
