This includes laser sights or any other sights which project a beam to the target. This does not include battery operated sights which only light the reticle"

The 2013 Washington state hunting regulations specify that you cannot use an electronic device on a muzzleloader (page 74): http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01383/wdfw01383.pdf

It also specifies that deer and elk may not be hunted with night vision, laser optics, or anything that projects a beam - but they make no mention of illuminated reticles (page 76).
