Rangefinder bow sight. The best!!

[VeraNoa]

The new "rangefinder bow sight" is the best and most desired complement to the game to fully enjoy bow hunting. Until now it was necessary to coexist with multiple bows, types of arrows and diverse visors. And with the greatest horror, which was the fact that for the same "zero" arrows hit different areas depending on their weight. In other words ... If you have the zero adjusted in 40m and you throw an arrow of 300g, another one of 420g and another one of 600, they hit in different places. It was necessary to have a table of distances for each Zero and each arrow. With this new viewfinder you only have to take into account the strength and direction of the wind. The viewer is responsible for showing your prediction of shooting taking into account the arrow you have placed on the bow at that time. A wonder. Bow hunting is still much harder and more difficult than rifle hunters, but now it is very rewarding to be able to shoot all the notes on paper to try to make accurate shots with the bows. You simply choose the bow you want, the arrow you want and the viewfinder gives you an approximation of the point of impact. It's not exact, because you can see that if you point to a static animal, and tell it to show you the impact zone several times in a row, it varies a little in its position. It gives a small margin of difference from one to the other, but it is still a marvel of an object. My most desired DLC since I bought this game. To enjoy it people. It's a must buy. Thank you very much for creating and making available to us, the players, such an interesting element to enhance the fun of those who want to hunt mainly bow.

I'm loving it too :) I use the bow as a secondary silent close range option. As you said the different weighted heads made it difficult to just take out and use casually. I found I had to have a few shots first to get used to the different flights paths. The RF has made the bows more enjoyable to use.

I enjoy driving a manual shift car more than an automatic car.
Automatic is easy and convenient, but it can be paraphrased as boring and shallow.
Well, you can make use of each advantage, but if you get used to the ease of automatic cars first, you will never know the joy of a manual car for a lifetime.
The same is true for bows.

Very true but at least people will now use the bows more and maybe down the road try the fixed sights. It the same as scopes with the rifles, try ironsights for a completely new experience or turn off tracking and only leave the cone track on. That will change the way you experience the game big time. And once you get used to hunting like this ,there is no going back.

I can't believe you people next thing you want are smart arrows, you make me sick use your range finder like In real life. Every body wants a easy way out. Nothing more fun than shooting 150 yards In this game and sticking a target at long range, first place It does exist but Its not worth a dam In the field. In real life nothing over 90 yards I know I practice at 100yds In real life pse carbon air bow ,with victory vap arrows...Turning a bow into a rifle geeesss....

In real life Its not worth a dam ,they do have It as real tool for bow hunters but Is gets messed up with moisture and picking up animals in heavy cover the hand held range finders are awsome these days I have a Lieca and another good one.

I find rangefinder great too.
Before the dlc released, I use 5-pin and the range finder perk. It is hard to deal with consistently and randomly moving target, since the perk needs time to cool down.
The only point I do not satisfied is the weight. Well, convenience comes with cost.

I think the bow sight is great, now people aren't forced to memorize a spreadsheet of what pin to use on a sight for what arrow for what distance.

People complaining about this sight may as well use the recurve bow since you could say a compound bow with a pin sight is too much technology, no fun, and no skill.
