No,  regs state "unlawful to have any electrical equipment or electric device(s) attached to the bow or arrow while hunting" (big game reg book pg 70 Archery regs 1b.)
What's the most dangerous thing said in the US Navy? -- A Chief Petty Officer saying "Watch this s$%^!!"

"I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"
President John F. Kennedy

not sure about that.But I don't think it would be illegal.  It's not a flashlight or a scope. :chuckle:

What they said.  If it's an electronic, it's a no no.

Thanks guys  I thought so, I wonder what states would allow the use of electronic gizmoes, I would bet that washington has some of the strictest hunting laws in the nation. I wouldnt use one of these range finders anyway to bulky.

Look at it this way, it's a regulation to keep your hard earn $$ down.  :chuckle: Besides, when that BIG moment comes, who has time to fiddle with all the gadgets on the bow?
