Nothing electronic attached to the firearm is how they interpret it. All other electronics are fine.
So strange. There is precious little difference between having a LRF bino on your waist vs. a WMLRF. I could see banning
all electronic stuff, but the distinction they made is pretty fine.
You can make an argument that
not having an easy ranging solution causes a ton of bad shots and wounded animals
Most restrictions are just fine to me. Getting compared to California riles me up a bit though, we've had our fill of them moving here..
Restrictions can be good and bad. It’s all about perspective. Those Cali folk just like different restrictions…that I find stooopid.
I'm in your boat. I'll just say this:
Hunting should be hunting and shooting should be shooting.
I agree. I’m of a mind that one should get as close as possible to the animal (sub 400yds, probably sub 300). Easier to hit in the right spot for a quick kill and it gives the animal a darn chance to detect you. Fair chase and all that. No drones, no NV/Thermal unless shooting varmints like coyotes. No calling in air strikes lol.
But like I mentioned, some restrictions are fairly idiotic. A level in the scope…I have a VX-6hd with one and the only thing it’s good for is when mounting it in rings. It’s obnoxious otherwise and blinks constantly when not perfectly level.
And (if your reticle is plum to gravity) I’m guessing
not having one’s rifle level when actually shooting is less common than one would think.
But not mounting the reticle plum to gravity, however, is as common as the day is long, and
that can cause more poor shots and wounding.
Not well thought out restrictions can have unintended consequences.
