You ARE the reason the commission changed the requirements…..you simply refuse to see it.  But, good luck to you……and I would check with an actual warden on the sight being legal.  

How do you figure I am the reason they changed the rules. What proof do you have of that? Everything I have done is legal and legit. I obtained my permit legally. I got My Champ permit legally and legit. I bought a Licence And a Tag. I also put in for rifle tags which I have one right now. A 24A late whitetail only tag that ends on the 31st. But I'm shooting my crossbow only. Haven't even taken a rifle. Why because I can't go after a deer I've shot at 400 yards or more because of my health and disabilities. So even in rifle I shot my crossbow. Because I don't need a rifle. I only shoot 100 yards or less. So sorry rifle guys if I'm taken advantage of you.

I hope you kill a deer with your crossbow in January and post it all over this site and a Javelina too , good luck!! Most these guys cry about a crossbow when they use a bow that shoots 300 feet a second and a adjustable sight that can shoot 100 yards lol 😂 very hypocritical

Last month. Almost 74 so so getting it out by myself is getting harder. I don't hunt deer with it.

Okay I went back to game and fish. And talked to a warden. Starting June 30th 2026. All crossbow permit holders. Will need to renew there permit annually. The crossbow can't have any type of illuminated sights or scope. And only a non illuminated scope of no more then 1x  is allowed. Even open sight can't be illuminated. And no type of shooting stick tri pod or anything similar may be used . Unless you have certain types of amputation. Only natural sources may be used. Like a rock,tree limp,fence,etc...may be used. Basically a crossbow is worthless

When I talked with Game and Fish a week ago they said it was still up in the air with legal.  It sounded like folks are already taking legal action.

Glad I got rid of mine...theyre a PIA to hunt with anyway

If you take the battery out of a illuminated capable scope , does that mean it's not an illuminated scope anymore?

I don't think a 1x crossbow rope is currently made.

You are correct. I have searched hard and there are none made. Wondering if that was the intent.There are a few prism "etched glass"scopes made for a AR platform but they are illuminated, and a crossbow has opposite recoil.
