Hi,

Although I've not shot it yet, :angry:

From E Z V Blogs




“It’s the best thing I’ve seen in the archery world in 20-years. Point, shoot, and kill – Easy!”
- Mike Horton, Detroit, Michigan

“A dream come true! Sweet piece-of-work!”
- Bobby Schneider, Clio, Michigan

“E-Z-V Compound Bow Sight is Changing the Game.”
- Steve Sheetz, ChasinWhitetails.com

“I'm over 50 years old and having trouble seeing my pins. I got to try the E-Z-V Sight and on my second shot I Robin Hooded my first arrow. I was shooting a Victory Armor Piercing 300 spine. The E-Z-V Sight works! No B.S.”
- Jim Miller, Livingston, Montana

“In testing quartering-away shots, I found I can hit the vitals easily as the arrow goes right down the middle between the V.”
“I tried the E-Z-V Sight from my ladder stand at various distances and find the sight does the job.”
“With the E-Z-V Sight, the need for range finding is minimal.”
“I put it through its paces to see how it works in a ground blind as the sun sets and thoroughly impressed about how quickly target acquisition occurred and how I nailed the spot every time.”
“In low light, I found that the E-Z-V Sight allows me to shoot with confidence right down to the final minutes of legal hunting times.”
“Great invention! I am super impressed with the prototype and have already ordered one for my bow and will be ordering one for my son for his bow.”
- Doug Moisey, Alberta Canada

“If you haven't tried the E-Z-V Sight yet, it is a must and you won't be disappointed. The E-Z-V Sight not only makes the few seconds you have to make your kill shot decision quicker, but it also doesn't break the bank. This sight turned out to be so versatile that I was able to swap this sight out with the original one on my bow and it was sighted in within minutes. I'm by no means the best shooter out there, but with this sight on my bow, I did feel more confident when judging the yardage on a game animal.”
- Dan Jones, Corvallis, Montana

Interesting but there would definitely have to be some changes prior to me purchasing one. Perhaps they already have these but if not, this is what I would need.

First it would have to be different color. I simply do not see those colors well in the woods.

Second, and most importantly, it would have to have a rheostat.

Third, I would definitely have to test one before purchasing. Just way to different.


And why is the level on the wrong side where you can't see it?

Hey gang...we're back
We've been trying to complete our sponsorship for nearly two months during 18hr days building the coolest, 100% USA manufactured lifetime warranty sights. My ArrowM login has been in transition as this HUGE company converts it to "sponsor". I whipped this one up to answer a few questions.

1) As you can read, we have a 100% conversion rate from EVERYONE that has tried this method of aiming. Their are many demo's at dealers across the country or you can purchase one with a money-back guarantee for 30 days.
2) The level is place behind the insert for two reasons...the inserts snap in from the front and in the bottom opening it works like an on/off indicator in your view
3) Sorry, the inserts only snap into our receiver sight bodies, you would have to destroy your current sight, removing all the pins to "convert it"...try one, money-back guarantee!

Don't mean to be a stick in the mud here, but that video is not very convincing.

I'm still not seeing how this can be accurate considering the large distance between the V.

How do you center it? Seems to me that it's more/less a guess as to if it's actually centered or not?

And the color???

Hi,

To clarify, the level is centered between the trajectory curves on the bottom of an E Z V sight. When looking between the curves you'll see the center of the level. If you look at the level and do not see the level bubble, your bow is not plumb. However, if you look between the trajectory curves and see the bubble, your bow is plumb. E Z :thumb:

Hey gang
We worked the level location back and forth but where it is works sooo cool. In the past designs your focus is split between the hovering pins and the bubble back and forth. I am a 34yr bowhunter and shooting in the wind requires a 1/4 or 1/2 bubble lean. With this design, you can "see it" or not behind the insert. It works like an on/off or 1/4 bubble switch in your peripheral vision instead of robbing your focus on the target. Try on....money-back guarantee for 30 days...you'll "see"! As for the speed offerings..each size cost me $5K so we started with the popular sizes although...if your shooting 240 ...out to 40yds you won't notice the difference with a 260 insert.

That still does not answer my question as to knowing for sure you are actually in the center?

I can see how it may be "Somewhat" easier near the bottom of the V but as the distance widens up near the top, how do you know you are in the center? I do not see how this is possible. It appears this would be more/less a guess.

It also appears that as wide as the sides of the V is, when shooting from longer distances it would cover up much of the target.

And you base this sight on being able to get on the target faster in a hunting situation. If that's so then the bubble still needs to be mounted in front of the V in plain view, not hidden so you can maybe see a little bit of it.

Again, I'm not out to diss your product, just do not see how it can function as slick as you claim.

As I pointed out in the other thread the ranging feature offered by the distance between the V marks can only be approximate because the size of the "vitals" varies with the size of the animal. This requires a degree of estimation of the size of the animal to get the poi at the correct elevation and then as Skeeter has respectfully pointed out you then have to estimate the center of the V to get your horizontal right. While I can see this working at close range the degree of accuracy would have to suffer as the distance increases. A single pin sight set at 25 yds will hit the vital area of a small deer out to 35 yds with most modern hunting weight compound bows, I can't see your system being as accurate as that but if it proves to be so then I stand corrected. I may be a bit skeptical but I really do hope your system works as you say.

Hi and Good Morning,

What is the first rule of bowhunting? I'm willing to argue it's "pick your spot". We look at the spot we want to hit, aim and execute. The E Z V sighting system allows a uninterrupted view of not only the spot but both sides of your animal. Compare this to losing a good portion of your picture with pins and supporting structure.

"How do you know you are in the center?" Your eyes realize concentricity, trust it and let the shot go. This is not that complex, shooters adapt quickly. Read the reviews, it's stated...

Is this the sight you bolt on your spots bow? Is it good enough for shooters who only hit the x and quote themselves? No, probably not but from what I'm hearing you can drop one on a ****** engine room in .5. We have a US Vet who's killed everything, said he shot E Z V all day, unknown yardages, more than a hundred arrows and never missed once! That's what E Z V was designed to do.


Personally, I'm willing to overlook the margins inherent to the E Z V design for one reason. It keeps the shot off of the shoulder. Without having one to shoot, all our notions are just hypothetical pecks lost on the webs. But if you prescribe to listening first and you just may hear a rumble coming!

EdgeGlo

Hey gang,

I found a picture of a prototype. Keep in mind the green material is changing to EdgeGlo material. I can't wait to see how well it works in low light! We can't use artificial light here in MT and EdgeGio should kick azz on fiber. Arron was saying he had a piece in his garage, "open the door and bam there it is".

While the green is much better than the pink [for many of us and our eyesight] I still notice an inherent issue with the V. This one is pretty easy to comprehend and any experienced bowhunter can easily see it right off the bat.

It's not that the size of the V is too small, nor is it the fact that is very visible. On the contrary, that's it's major down fall IMO. It is too big and too bright for dusky dark conditions. It would, beyond doubt block out the target. This is especially true if there is any light source [sunlight] behind the archer and the critter is in the darkness. This is one reason why the better sights come with a rheostat feature.

Over the last 30 years + I have used all kinds of bow sights in real hunting situations. I have found that too big of pin [in this case the V] or too bright of pin when there is light behind the archer and that archer is trying to get on bead on a critter in the darker woods simply makes the critter vaporize.

I know you are excited about your "Idea" and I wish you the very best. But I can assure you your product will not work as well as you claim in many hunting scenarios. In the open and in constant light conditions......yes I can see how it would work okay at best.

And before you say I don't know about your neck of the woods or elk hunting....I used to live in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Alaska. That's just a few of the states I lived in East of the big muddy river, and I hunted them all.

Good luck to you with your new invention. I hope you sell tons of them.

Sounds fishy

The video wasnt too covincing nor is the math youre trying to say you can sight by an formula a 3d object with only to variables the x and y axis? So youre taking the z axis, arrow speed, as a constant and/or assuming its going to have a linear consistent decline, that seems like a bit of a reach to atonomize that to fit any bow...

While I am working on a bowfishin' model....this is not that

It does work, even the skeptics are "hooked"..pun intended. The width of the ribcage of all our 8 species we hunt here in MT only vary 10% in dimension. I was as shocked as you to study these animals for days and days and days here in Yellowstone park 45 minutes away. The overall size is way different but from Elk to Whitetail very minimal in actual ribcage width. I thought early on this would require a "deer insert" and "elk insert" to be different. The difference was so minimal it changes arrow impact 3/4". Dead deer!
As for the x axis, we have molded 14 difference inserts to snap in matching your bow's trajectory curve. I can't give away my 7 layers of math trade secrets but its EZ. The sight comes with 3 inserts and available in every 5fps from 260-320. $5K each mold so we did the heavy hitters first. Thats USA dollars...no china crap here! 100% manufactured and warrantied in Montana. Anyway, that gives you a 15fps range to tweak should you change bow weight or arrows. Plastic inserts are cheap if you upgrade you bow above a 15fps gain.

Simply raise or lower the "V" until the ribcage is framed and release...centerpunch EVERY time! P.S. Turkeys fit perfectly too! The molded in "tick marks" allow you to do what ANY sight can do but this does SO MUCH MORE! No more fuzzy pins, no more broken fibers!

Try one MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE for 30 days...you'll be HOOKED

Exactly what I was thinking. On perfect broadside shots, and in perfect light conditions I can understand the "V" working so-so. Anything other than that leaves much room for error.

In terms of the "Width of the rib cage" being only 10% different on 8 species in MT......well that does not make the actual vital area the same. A coyote to an antelope, a black bear to an elk.... 3/4" can and will make a difference in many situations, esp on a quartering shots.

For all those reasons skeeter stated above along with in my opinion it's a solution looking for a problem to solve.

The pins never were really a problem for me anyway and in my view that Vee is way more obstructive then a couple of dots, not to mention pins are MUCH more accurate and simple for me.

I mean what could be more simple then placing the dot where you want to hit, no real problems to solve.

But this is just my humble opinion and I too wish you much success with your product, maybe I'm missing something and I'll be late again to climbing on board the band wagon. Good luck.

I love how guys make assumptions on products they haven't tried.

He's posted multiple times that it's a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. Instead of flappin your gums (so to speak) and telling him whats wrong with it BEFORE TRYING IT OUT, test one for 30 days and then lets hear all about it.
 
#27 ·
This is a discussion board correct? I think it's a place where we are supposed to "flap our gums" good and bad, positive or negative.

And since this is a thread that is not started by the supportive member then I believe we are free to express all of our opinions.

Many have stated why they are not willing to give it a try and so why would I want to change my sight of which I am perfectly happy with for something that I can already see problems with.

Maybe you should take you sight off your bow drop some money down and tell us what you think is so great about it, also let me know what problems it solved for you that you are experiencing with your current set up.

Definitely not trying to "convince" anyone from a chair...you gotta try it to understand. Every piece of a equipment that comes out brings skeptics and opinions. As a proshop owner for two decades, I too would scrutinize any innovation. There are things to improve as R/D money gives me opportunity, EZVX , as much as I'm NOT in love with the crossbow, will help many.

No product is for everyone but this is too cool not to try. I said for decades I would never be a manufacture with all the patent infringement wars but upon a "need"...E-Z-V was born and it gives many archers great confidence. Again, E-Z-V does EVERYTHING a pin sight can do with the tick marks. Centering your impact point between them makes your mind at ease and seeing the entire line of arcing travel your arrow will follow dissolves the chance of hitting an unseen branch. The species difference, if I hit my bull 3/4" low from the center of his lungs, it's game over. This is designed to shoot 3" groups at any distance, it will get you within 5% of the distance...ex 1.8 yds at 36yd...that is better than 90% of bowhunters guessing. Beyond 50yds 5% is too much and any ethical hunter would range first before attempting those shots. 95% of the animals I've killed have been under 50...thats good odds!

I am in no position to build 30,000 of these things yet but orders are stacking up. I can only invite you to try, risk-free, then tell me what you discover. All things eVolVe, I'm all ears
