The one resounding positive they mentioned which I found interesting and apparently a unintentional from Garmin was while ranging there are as I understand it two circles you have to line up. What this forces you to do is have proper form and acts as a form check prior to shooting. Personally I don’t buy the cost justification that it replaces your hand held range finder. The sight only ranges to 100 which is plenty for shooting but I use my range finder for a lot more then just shooting. I would still carry a hand held. For the concerns above it battery life they estimate with normal use batteries should last a year. Sounds like a cool site that would of potentially got me my first moose last season instead of miss but the predicted cost way to high my opinion. I am looking at getting a new site but currently more interested in the Surelock Carbonix.

I listened to this too. There was no mention of cold weather use in our Canadian climate, which makes me sceptical. They were shooting hogs in Texas. Sounds like they liked the sight though. I like how you can limit yourself to a predetermined range that you choose. If your target is further than your range limit you have set the sight for then no pins will pop up for you.
