No magnifying sights. Scopes musthave no magnification regardlessof reticle type, crosshair or red dot.
I previously thought it was going to allow 1X scopes but that doesn't appear to be the case.......according to the actual amendment discussion and voting:
Does a 1X scope do anything?
Good question? LOL I've never used one enough to really look at it to see if there is 1X magnification. Is 1X the same as 0X ?
Sounds dumb I knowbut I'm not a big scope gun guy so I really do not know the exact difference between "No magnification" and 1X or if there IS any at all?
I saw this in the initial post as well and wanted to clear this up. 1X just refers to the "magnification" of regular view for the human eye.
So think of it as --- 1 times the power of human eyesight.. which is just human eyesight..
then ----- 2X is just really 2 times the power of human eyesight.. and so on..
Their is no such thing as 0X scopes or whatever. So 1X is human eye power most likely with a reticle (like for shotguns, etc) , then you can get 2X scopes which would just be twice the magnification of the human eyesight, and so on.. So in the end, crossbow users can use a scope, but it will be a 1X scope which does not magnify the view.. it merely gives them a reticle of some sort to shoot with..
