As far as bread crumb why not just put a spinning reel on you stabilizer with 150 yards of 10 pound flouresent fishing  attached to your arrow?

It works great on carp!

Yes to the bow sight.

It will help get a better shot and quicker kill. Harvest statistics will increase on paper, but the when you report, they don't ask if you wounded an animal. Most people that wound one do not end their hunt. They go out and try again and some of them are successful, meaning two dead animals, one reported harvest. With better range finding capabilities it allows an archer to be more accurate at the moment of the shot because they're not guessing the range to the target. It does not make them a better shooter however. So the comments that these sights will compell people to take longer shots, which will lead to more wounded game, makes no sense to me. One still has to have perfect skill, technique, arrow setup and bow setup to accomplish such a task. Archers will still only shoot at distances they feel most comfortable with for a clean, quick kill, with a rapid recovery.

Hate to disagree with that statement  as you are painting
All bow hunters with a very broad brush stroke  should

And anyone with eyes and a minimal amount of gray matter knows there are Archers out there that lob arrows 60 80 yards and think they are William Tell

There will always be hunters who hunt ethically and those who don't, regardless of method preferred. Usually, lack of ethics will result with mistakes in the field. Too far with a bow, or ML or rifle. Moving target with either. Shooting through brush, hoping to get a kill shot. It makes no difference. Lack of ethics is lack of ethics.
