I agree with the regulations which state there will be no electronic devices on your bow or arrow. Otherwise I believe you should be able to use that bow and arrow matchup in the modern firearm season only. They have to draw the line somewhere and as many advantages Luminocks have I believe outlawing them by the law restricting the electronic devices was exactly the right thing to do.The real problem I believe is that many hunters absolutely cannot resist the urge to mechanize or otherwise place electronics all over their weapons. That includes rangefinders. It's funny that people cling to a rangefinder for an arrow shot from my point of view. That's what I prefer to avoid and that is why I don't like the concept of compound bows. They have evolved too far away from the traditional aspects of archery that it might as well be a modern season weapon. I am sure some of you might get out the flame throwers on that one. By the way I think this is the 3rd topic on this same subject on our forums in the past year and a half.

But I love my compound bow!The same thing with black powder rifles. Inline guns with a range of over 200 yards???That's not what the season was meant for.
Lumenok being illegal. Now how does that do anything but help you find your animal quicker? Isn't that what we are after? It don't make the bow faster or more accurate.
I don't think that modern bows should have to hunt with mod rifle. Just because people dont have time to practice with a traditional bow doesn't mean they need to go out when every animal runs at the first hint of a person.
