Mechanicals are illegal in this state regardless of season, and yes, there is nothing addressed about archery during modern, but was thinking maybe an amendment is forthcoming since muzzy guys can have modern accessories during modern firearms.  I guess the only thing for a bow would be a laser rangefinding sight or sight lights.......since lighted nocks are now legal.  Then again, why wouldnt xbows be legal during modern firearm, except wdfw EXPECTS US to poach with them.....guilty again before hand.

Seems like weapon restrictions fall into two categories:  (i) unfair advantage for the hunter (scopes on muzzy, electronics on bow), and (ii) ethical, clean kills (minimum poundage, arrow weight, etc.). 

I can see the first category getting waived if you were using archery or muzzy gear during the modern season.  But the latter category would never get waived.  I think the various broadhead restrictions would all fall into the latter category.

Scopes are in the book as lawful during modern. Under Archery there is no where that I saw that there were any special rules for archery during modern. So that makes me thing mechanical broad heads would still be unlawful to hunt with during modern.

They are not legal for big game period, doesn't matter what season you are hunting in.  You can use them for anything else.

You are referring to the mechanical broad head as not legal correct?

Can someone post a link to the show? If available.

[buckfvr]

If hunting in Washington. He shouldn't  even have them in in his bow. If it was one of us we would have a lot of explaining to do

Not true.  Expandables can be used for small game animals.
