I'd probably order the Viper PST 1-4 if I was deadset on a scope vs a red dot. Have Vortex fix it at 1x.

When I asked vortex if there was a way to do that they said no. Maybe I just got a newb CS rep.

Acetone numbers off, and a drop off  in weld on the 1x position problem solved , still don’t wAnt scopes but that would do what your thinking and vortex won’t do that for you

Just sent a note to manufacturer, trying to get a timeline on a red dot sight I ordered from OP Febr. 15, that was just bumped back again to August delivery.   :bash:  More options designed for muzzleloaders out there than crossbows.  However, the ammunition is easy to find.   :chuckle:

I thought the idea was for the committee to hear the general public and then creat a general recommendation to the game department for the April final meeting for possibly changing the regulations?
Maybe Im way off ?

No this was the presentation from wdfw to the committee.   The committee them decided whether the rules will be adopted or they'll the agency go back to the drawing board.  I was on till 3 just after the turkey proposals. Most everthing you all have talked about in this thread was brought up by the commision

Lol nothing was passed.  I sat on that Zoom meeting for over 8 hours.  It was the agency bringing their proposals they want to push and then public comment and questions from the commision.  That being said 9 times out of 10 the commision is going to approve what the agency brought forward.  My thoughts from Friday was they like hearing public comments but they don't care about them because they are going to do what they want.  I tell you what the commision did not like them putting all the proposals together under one WAC in the last poll they had.  They said that there was no way to put you like one thing and not the other.  The agency siad that was what the comments were for.  Commision asked was that spelled out in the poll and all I saw was shoulder shruggs from the agency reps.

Are you suggesting everything is going to stand at status quo?  No scopes?  No crossbows?

I took the comment as they will accept what was proposed in most cases.  So yes with scopes and crossbows.   :dunno:

Yup exactly.  What ever WDFW proposes that is what passes.
