Is it just me?

Or do you think technology is going too far?   :dunno:

I’m all in favor of not losing any more arrows.  I would also like to find game I have shot more easily.  However, my nock is usually not with my game when I find it.  My arrow either shot all the way through or broke off as the game ran through brush.  However, I would love to find all the arrows I lose in practice.  So I was all ready to buy some, but the price for 3 was $120....for nocks.  At $120, I could afford to make a whole new dozen arrows with regular nocks, and I usually only end up losing 2-3 arrows per dozen anyway.  I don’t even want to do the math on what a dozen nocks would cost.  So it doesn’t pencil out.  I guess you don’t have anything to worry about, Graps.

What you need is an arrow finding dog.  The only problem I had with them is that they either bit my arrow in half or in one case with a genius cocker, he ripped all of my feathers off before bringing me the shaft.

while the concept is viable, the cost isn't average bowhunter real world effective.   

and then consider the question, who really needs this product and why?

do we really need more technological cr@p to further alienate why we're using stickbows in the first place?

will the ability to find arrows allow taking less than desirable shots at game?
