RE: Varizone scope legal in Alabama?
I bought a lumizone when I bought my Excalibur Equinox last year.
I live in Arkansas and now that you say it has some magnification I'm worried that I'm breaking the law.
Technically, AGFC only lists no magnification under the long bow/ compound bow section and only states in the crossbow section the draw limit, broadhead size, mechanical safety required and no poision allowed.
No where under the crossbow section does it say anything about magnification not being allowed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
08.04 ARCHERY TACKLE RESTRICTION.It shall be unlawful to take or attempt to take wildlife with long bow and arrow or compound bow and arrow other than as specified herein.
(A) Bows having a minimum pull of 40 pounds at some point within the draw length.
(B) Bows without telescopic or magnifying sights.
(C) Bows using arrowheads with a minimum width of 7/8 inch (except any smaller size may be used for other than deer, turkey or bear).
(D) Bows using arrows not containing poisonous chemicals.
08.06 CROSSBOW RESTRICTIONS.It shall be unlawful to hunt with a crossbow of less than 125 pounds pull, or with an arrowhead less than 7/8 inch in width (small game hunters exempt), or without said crossbow having a functional mechanical safety device.It shall also be unlawful to possess arrows containing poisonous chemicals.

I'm thinking that if I can't use my Lumizone then I will just mod a bow sight to work on my crossbow instead of going with a red dot scope.
Thanks,
