Title: aluminok
Post by: rewent12003 on July 16, 2007, 01:58:03 PM: anybody know what the regulation is on aluminoks, can we use them or are they illegal to use? i have seen them sold around here and they seem like they would help find your arrow, they dont help in aiming just locating your arrow. anybody have any insight on this?

That is to logical and therefore illegal in Wa.

I can also see them being helpful on recoveries in the dark or just plain finding your arrow after a pass through or a clean miss. They got rid of the 65 % let off requirement which is way way more related to making shooting easier...............it don't make no sense :dunno:
