I use them and love them. I don't see how that affects anything. All it does is make it easier to see where your shot hit. Its not a heat seeker... It doesn't give you the ability to see at dusk or at night. They activate after the shot.... Don't make sense to me. I don't much care if my name is in a record book anyway. The only person it has to be a trophy to is me. Sure it would be nice, but I wont give up my tracers or luma noks. Just my opinion anyway....
