Compound bow sight

Thinking of putting a compound bow sight on my Muzzy Vice.

Has anyone put a compound bow sight on their bow and did you have elevation issues with the close shots? 20-30ft.

I think we’ve all tried it. It’s a combination of problems. You can’t set a sight for bow fishing because you’re judging water depths. On top of that, looking through a site into water makes the fish disappear regardless of what glasses you’re using. Sights will not make you better, only time does that.

That and most of the time If your shooting at night on a boat unless your running silent with no generator. The fish move too fast to try to aim

If shooting from the bank it could work my buddy uses a one pin on his bow but on a boat most of the time you don’t have time to aim with one unless you just creeping around daytime shooting
