new range rinder attached to bow legal in wa.?

RANGE FINDER ATTACHED TO BOW IS THAT LEGAL IN WA.

[Sumpnneedskillin]

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.)

[teanawayslayer]

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

[uplandhunter870]

no, if it uses batteries it cant be attached to your bow

Sure would be nice though to have a new Leupy Vandetta on the bow!

[carpsniperg2]

Nope not legal.

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

[danderson]

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.  Besides, when that BIG moment comes, who has time to fiddle with all the gadgets on the bow?
