I'm a believer now... there really is an app for everything! Have you seen the new iPhone sight app? Now, just because I CAN download this app and set it up on my bow, I don't think I'll be changing out my Spot Hogg sight for the "coolness" factor of using my phone for a sight. I'm pretty sure that my phone would die on the mountain, get run over by my husband*, or my mom would call just as I am picking a spot on elk vitals.
Me: Mom!?!Mom: Whatcha doing?Me: Shhh! I'm hunting and your face just popped up on my screenMom: What? I can't hear you.Me: Your head is in the way!
It might be fun for the archery range, but as far as hunting goes, I think I'll stick to a sight that doesn't have a chance of dying. The only dying I want done is something that can fill my freezer, and I can't eat my phone.
*It really wasn't my husband's fault for running over my phone last Sept while elk hunting. I take full responsibility for opening my door to look at the bear scat in the road. Phone slipped out, avoided the bear poop, but didn't escape the tire and weight of a full sized truck. I would be SCREWED if my phone was doubling as a sight.
Though I love technology, I despise smart phones, so I will not be using that site anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteAs a novelty item, though, it is pretty cool!
You despise smart phones? I have to admit I am a bit addicted to mine... Words with Friends, FB, twitter, instagram, the list goes on. I agree that this sight would be simply a novelty item. It would be fun to try, but I'm sticking to my Spot Hogg for now!
