New Invention!! Pin sight with built in laser range finder technology?
What do you guys think? I was just sitting in the stand the other day looking at my pin sight and thought to myself, would they one day make/build in a auto range finder into your pin sight? This is how it would work. When you look through your peep through pin sight, the range shows up in your pin sight. Of course you still have your pin. Forget all the range finders that you have to pick up to range the deer, some people have no time for that. Like me. 
If only i had the money to make this, i'd be a millionaire. 
I would be pretty PO'ed if someone did come up with this technology!!

By settleing your pin sight on the object/deer. The pin will act the like cross hairs in your range finder.

I suggest you take 3 off.
haha, that I have no figured out yet. I was only thinking it would only work for single pin. BUTT!! What you can do is have a button, just like on your range finder and put the pin on it and press it. Depending on how many pins you have, Put the button at the front of your grip of the bow. and when you are ready press it and it will give you your range. Keep in mind, each pin has its own button. for example, 3 pins, 3 buttons.!

Would be a nice idea, but flawed.
Illegal in some states, anything electronic on the bow sights.
Multi pin sights, which do you use?
How would you trigger it to range..or does it constantly range things 24/7?
Fanciful idea, just not very practical right now.
GMMAT, the branch theory is moot, there could be a branch inbetween your handheld rangefinder and a deer just the same as your sights and a deer.
EDITED: posted at same time, saw your answers...multi buttons gets too complex, still doesnt eliminate the fact it would be illegal in alot of states.
