Afterburner Light
 

Anyone know if it's illegal to hunt in NY with the copper John Afterburner light attached to your sight?

Per the Big Regs under matter of taking It is unlawful to hunt big game with " A firearm or bow aided by any artificial light or laser that projects a beam toward the target". To me it sounds as if an afterburner light would be legal. It might be worth asking a DEC officer though. Please post whatever you find out.

Sounds like the afterburner would be ok. Their ruling sounds like the one in Texas. Lighted pins are fine; sights that project a light onto the game such as a laser sight would be considered illegal. That's what it sounds like to me.
