Burris Optics Offers $100 Gift Card With Purchase Of Oracle Bow Sight

GREELEY, Colo.–Bow hunters looking to upgrade to the most advanced bow sight on the planet will receive a $100 gift card with the purchase of a Burris Oracle Bow Sight from an authorized Burris dealer. The promotion runs through September 31 and the gift card can be used towards the purchase of anything on the Burris website.

The Oracle was designed for bow hunters who understand the importance of minimal movement and properly ranging targets when mere seconds and feet count. The Oracle eliminates aiming between pins by instantly calculating and displaying the exact aiming point for any distance and shot angle.

A laser activation button mounts to the riser for quick, convenient access while a quick push of the button activates the built-in IR laser rangefinder. Within seconds, the range to the target is shown along with an illuminated pin for the exact drop and angle-compensated aim point.

Illuminated aiming pins are displayed on a vertical LED trajectory bar running through the entire midsection of the sight. The bar also displays a fixed 20-yard pin for a constant reference point when ranging targets. If the ranging is unsuccessful, the sight will display standard dots in 10-yard increments starting with the 20-yard pin. Read more
