Default Varizone scope legal in Alabama?

I recently bought an Excalibur Vortex crossbow and put a Lumizone scope on it and love it. I was planning on hunting in Georgia and Alabama. However, I ran across this tonight on the Alabama DNR website:
First, it describes what a bow is:

(1) A legal bow for hunting is defined as either a long bow, a recurve bow,
or a compound bow designed to be held, drawn, and fired in the upright
(vertical) position, or a crossbow....

Then it goes on to say this:

(2) Sighting and aiming devices on all bows shall be void of any electronics
with computational capabilities. The use of electrically assisted aiming
devices shall be limited to illuminated sight pins/beads/markings which are
attached to the bow. Sights with magnification or light projection (laser type)
features are prohibited.


Does this mean the Lumizone or Varizone scopes aren't allowed in Alabama? I know these scopes don't advertize or aren't marked with power settings, only in fps.
