RE: Summit's Hot Dot
First link works for me.
I had a prototype of one of these in my hands and it is pretty slick. Red dot pendulum feature was neat and it can also be set for fixed pins. Nice feature was when the bow is canted more then 3 degrees (I think) the sight shuts off..........this is nice to avoid canting your bow and also if you lay your bow on it's side while hunting (I do) because you don't waste battery life.
P+Y won't approve of it I'm sure (if anyone cares about that).

Atlas were you refering to me when you said "P+Y won't approve of it I'm sure (if anyone cares about that)." Cuz your right i don't!
I don't like the idea of the electronic level, i have been in situations that i had no choice but to cant my bow a shade, such as leaning to get around limbs.

RE: Summit's Hot Dot
Couple of questions....
No. 01 - Does this sight require power (i.e. batteries) to work ALL THE TIME?
No. 02 - Who, besides me, has ever had to contort a little to get a shot around a tree....under a branch....etc.........and wouldn't like the idea of their sight cutting off (when canted 3+ deg.)? I don't use my Viper Sight's level when I hunt, anyway. It's for practice, ONLY.
Can anyone clear up question No. 01?

I would like to know if it eliminates the peep sight, my vision isn't what it used to be andI have a hard time focusing thru a peep now. I also wonder about it's durability, but I like the looks of it.

RE: Summit's Hot Dot
Looks neat, but it looks like a lot of things that could go wrong too. I don't want my sight relying on batteries and I do not like the though of it shutting off if you have to contort to get a shot off.
