I use one and love it.......won't get you into any record books though. Stopped being made so really not the easiest thing to find anymore.

The idea is good but it's heavy. Mostly the brackets. I had to sight in my bow again once i put it on. I still use a hand held rangefinder as much as I can and only use the vendetta if the animal moves after I draw back.

both wife and I have on our bows and love them. Completely removes an entire step when preparing for a shot. Rather than pick up a hand held, range, put down, pick up bow, point, shoot, you simply have to pick up bow, range point and shoot. I find it helps minimize movement and when your inside 50yrds, thats huge. As far as weight goes, I don't even notice a difference nor does the wife and she is small so I wouldn't let that stand as a hang up. They are pricey imo for what they are, but I do feel as thought they improve efficiency, remove a few steps that require movment, and promote ethical shooting.
My 2 cents
Cheers

I used one for a year and decided it wasnt for me.

I mostly stand hunt and have all my lanes ranged while I sit and wait.

They arent really that heavy. Went with a shorter stab and didnt notice the extra weight. They do work well once you have them set up.

I just found i prefer my handheld so I sold the vendetta and added a gopro to the bow instead.
