[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 2263199, member: 84285"] All well and good, but not allowed for use in many states. Just make sure you know the rules before you go! Montana - Page 23 of the 2021 Big Game Regulations: Firearms • Firearms, including rifles, handguns, shotguns with 0, 00, or slugs, and muzzleloaders; archery equipment; and crossbows are lawful for taking game animals. All other methods of take are prohibited. • There is no rifle or handgun caliber limitation or magazine/round capacity restrictions for the taking of game animals. • [B]Rifle scopes with illuminated reticles, built-in range finding capabilities, and “red dot” scopes are lawful for the taking of game animals.[/B] This is a recent, surprising change... Archery meanwhile has gone the other way (Page 22): [B]The following are not considered a hunting bow or lawful archery equipment during the Archery Only Season or in an Archery Equipment Only area or hunting district:[/B] –– Crossbow. –– Any device with a gun-type stock or incorporating any device or mechanism that holds the bowstring at partial or full draw without the shooter’s muscle power. –– Any bow for which a portion of the bow’s riser (handle) or any track, trough, channel, or other device that attaches directly to the bow’s riser contacts, supports, and/or guides the arrow from a point rearward of the bow’s brace height. This is not intended to restrict the use of standard overdraw systems. –– [B]Electronic or battery-powered devices attached to a hunting bow or arrow that aides in the taking or locating of any game animal or game bird. Exception: Camera devices attached to bows for the sole purpose of filming is allowed.[/B] –– [B]A bow sight or arrow that uses artificial light, luminous chemicals such as tritium, or electronics. Exception: an arrow may have a lighted nock.[/B] [/QUOTE]
