Anyone use a red-dot sight?

I love my Red-dot. It's awesome. The only down fall is, you have to remember turn it off. Keep a spare battery with you in case you forget. I've only done it once during the off season.
Most states it's legal. It doesn't shine light on the deer. It shines back on your eye. Some states don't allow electronics on a bow and that would include even a pin light.

I use one on my 35mm rifle, always thought about getting one for my bow since I use one pin anyway, but the problem is, if your battery goes dead during the moment of truth youre pretty much screwed. But hey Uncle Ted uses one on a couple of his bows.

I just looked over the Mass regulations, including the hunting/fishing abstract, CMR 3.01, 3.21, and MGLc131 and I do not see any reference to optical sights and archery. I would appreciate it if you find a reference to forward it.

You got to becareful w/ some of them red dot scopes because you can crank the brightness up too much to where the dot covers your entire target . Trust me on this one . I shot at a nice 8 last year and had to follow a blood trail for miles where I never dound the deercause I couldnt choose a spot to shot on the deer cause Icranked the brightness up to much to soon . So whatever you buy watch for that . Just my 2 cents.

I put a TruGlo Red Dot scope on my Daughters Rossi .243 Single Shot Youth Gun and she got a nice Doe during the Missouri Youth Hunt last October.Months before Deer Season I had her practice with the 22 LR that I also mounted a TruGlo Red Dot Scope on it for her to get use to looking in the scope and centering the dot where she was suppose to shoot.Then I swapped the .243 barrel over and lined it up at the Shooting Range.It worked great for a Younger Hunter and the few downfalls were that as mentioned earlier....you better have a extra battery in case the 1st battery goes dead and 2ndly the regular red dot scopes can't be zooomed in for further away shots.The newer Red Dot scopes now have variable power so that is a "Big Plus" and something to consider when buying a better scope.I noticed that Millet seemed to have better quality red dot scopes.

Yeah, I just checked my mass abstracts. I couldn't find anything in there regarding the use of that sight. My mistake.I do know that some states do have restrictions. I guess MA is not one of them.
