Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm overly ignorant.
I'm trying to find a powerful green laser sight for my compound bow. I intend to use it next season for bowfishing carp. Right now I have a Light Stryke (Amazon.com: OMP LightStryke Laser Bowfish Sight: Sports & Outdoors) which is designed for bowfishing but is only 5mW. I got it mainly because it was cheap and gives me something to mount a new laser to if I decide to upgrade.
Now I have done a little searching. So far I've read a thread or two on this forum recommend AixiZ's 35mW green laser sight. Keep in mind I am hoping to use this during the day without straining to find my green dot. Typical shots will be under 10 yards. I have little experience with lasers so I'm not sure how visible a 35mW green laser is going to be during the day at that distance.
Also, I found another website selling a 50mW green laser sight: 50mW Green Laser Gun Sight
I tried searching the forum here for any threads or reviews of this persons products and didn't get any hits. I did send an email asking about the product and if it's a "true" 50mW laser and not some over stated pile of junk. I got an email today from a Hellen saying:
Another idea I was tossing around is shelling out my Light Stryke or a similar cheap laser sight. Again, I'm not sure if I wanna go this route cuz it takes more time, etc. But I was eyeballing the green laser modules at O-Like. It doesn't appear to be that difficult to slap one of those things into a shelled laser sight but I've never done it. So I'm not really sure if that's the route for me.
I'm also curious if there should be any safety concerns with pointing lasers at the water. My eyes are valuable to me I don't wanna F them up.
To sum it up, I'm trying to find an appropriate green laser sight than can be easily seen during the day without burning a hole in my eyes. Any and all recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

So if anyone knows if this is a scam sight or a poor quality product, let me know haha. I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks for reliability and quality.It's true 50mW, you can make the payment by paypal. If you're not satisfied, you can easily get refund.
