If WA legalized scopes for ML seasons would you use one?

yes,  I would still only shoot out to about 125 but my eyes just aren't what they used to be.

I voted no because if WA legalized scopes for muzzle loaders I would probably switch to archery permanently. One of the things I despise the most about modern rifle season is the amount of times I get scoped by some *censored* *censored* who thinks scopes on a rifle are an acceptable substitute for binoculars.

Yes I would, but I sure hope that doesn't become an option

I am in Idaho so my vote probably doesn't count - but I certainly would use scope were they legal... my eyes are terrible.

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

I said yes.  Since it's not a traditional season and they allow inlines/sabots/pellets....why not?

Yes, if legal.  Somehow since 47 I can't see through open sights w/o my glasses.
