Are there any none magnifying scopes for a crossbow except the red dot scopes

The reason I ask is that Pa passed crossbows for deer/bear archey seasons but added a amendment that prohibit magnifying scopes.

You can take a look at the available Holo Sights from various manufactures in different price ranges.

They eliminate parallax or make everything appear to be on the same plane.

I didn't know that. I have never used a holo. Does anybody know if they can be adjusted to be parallax-free at the close ranges that we use; i.e., 10 yards?

BB....

the law is no scopes in the archery season's, i can put the scope back on for regular deer and bear season's but need to go back to P%P for archery season....they even took away the use of a xbow with a scope in flintlock season with my m/l stamp....i am not allowed to use my xbow with a scope with my m/l stamp that i just got done doing in jan with two doe....basicily i can use my xbow for archery season without my disabilty permit any more, but no magnifing optics....so in victory of full inclusion where i had nothing to gain i lost

Bowtech's red dot for their Stryker CB's is a better dot than Parkers Truglo dot. not sure how it matches up against the new Hawke line they started using

Just Google "Red Dot Scope",and you will find a variety of one power red dot scopes available.
OpticPlanet.com have some for under $15,and they fit Weaver bases.
No idea what quality you get for that price,so it might be a good idea to start a thread about the quality of these units.
Somebody out there must have tried them on a bow.
I am sure they will beat going back to the original peep sight for us visually handicapped guys!!

But I'll bet the PA bow hunters Assoc made sure they would not have to give up their magnifying scopes.

Nope.. They cant use them either
