They are fast becoming a thing of the past.
Back 20 years ago....when bows actually had arch....they were a fair idea in overcoming the seeming rise against trajectory when shooting past 15 yards.
Today, with bows shooting 25 (or more) flat....there is no need for it.
By the time you get out to 25 yards...trajectory is so near to horizonal...the arch that would normally be there ... is back.

i agree with bt on this one but i go i step farther... get a rangefinder with arc todo the same thing with!!! my summit hot dot sight has a pedulum feature which worked well you had to sight it in flat 30 yd then it was set from tree stand my only complaint it kept turning on and running down battery

I have to say that the ARC is a waste of money. I shoot from my treestand out to 35 yds, and there is almost no difference at 292 to 305 fps. Get the cheap Bushnell 450, and your fine...JMHO..  |
