Funny that I joked about such a device in the slippery slope debate with illumanocks. 
The difference is I believe few that support lighted nocks would support this, I wouldn't.

I find your response to this very interesting when you have so vehemently argued in multiple debates in favor of electronic nocks stating that there is no benefit to the hunter before the shot, and that they will only aid in game/arrow recovery.  Wouldn't the argument for this type of tracking device be the same?  Aside from your theory that these devises could be "abused" (similarly to taking low light shots with the aid of an electronic nock I would suppose...), why do you draw the line here?  Care to explain?
What is you point here?  Too argue with someone?  A nock can show if you missed or hit good and help find arrows but thats it.  Not the same and why is huntphool opinionof such a concern?  We all have opinions. :bash:
MAGA!  Again..

We all have our own line, I support lighted nocks but would not support this. I would support cameras that do not give the hunter a screen but would not support a bow mounted range finder, to each his own. ;)

Neat idea. I would be afraid that because of the shape it would throw off the flight of the arrow, but more importantly affect the penetration.
My thoughts exactly, It looks like it would barely allow for a passthrough. Maybe something that would fall off on impact but still. Illegal cause its electronic.

No thanks!  I'll stick to making damn sure of my shot and actually taking the time to wait until he is dead and then track him.  Just another piece of junk to make some Bozo some short lived $$.   :twocents:  Looks like more of a poaching tool to me.

I respect Phools answer, a line is a line and thats his.   TF, you are argueing the same points for illumanocks as there is with this thing.   Better to find your wounded game, won't lose your arrow, and unethical people will take unethical shots no matter what, so it doesn't matter if its low light or too far, an ethical person wouldn't take the shot even if they thought they had a better chance of seeing where their arrow went or where their hit was......  What he is saying is that it is the same "pitch".
