Default RE: archery scope for hunting??

I wouldn't use a magnified scope for hunting. It has too many draw backs. For one they don't handle abuse very well, and like others said, glare, moisture and dirt would be a problem. Another problem would be because of the magnification your field of view would be severely limited which I would not want in a hunting situation. It also would not work very well in low light situations. The size and amount of light your peep lets in effects how clear the scope is at a certain power. When you lose light it will be harder to see thru the peep and scope.

Not to mention it may flat out be illegal in your state.

However red dots work pretty well when set up correctly. They just add quite a bit of weight and you have to rely on an electronic device which could fail at the worst possible time.
