    Now this new york state resident has to travel to Ohio or Penn. To legally hunt deer with one. THE POLITICS OF IT ALL IS SUCH GARBAGE.

    I don't think using the rifle scope will be an issue. I've been using an old Bushnell 3-9 on my SuperMag for eight or nine years. Never an issue and holds zero just fine.

    As another physically challenged hunter I'll give you a little encouragement. You will find pop up ground blinds work pretty well. But, it takes the deer a while to get used to them. I utilize them, but find I feel just as well using a natural ground blind. I'm most confident in permanant stands that I have made. My favorite stand is one I made from a Port A Jon. I've made others from lumber and one from a lumber frame covered with cloth taken from a pop up blind that had broken zippers.

    I can walk a bit, but drive a lawn tractor part way to some of my stands. I've made my Horton as light as possible due to having use of only my one arm. A cocking device is a must for me. I find the cocking device helps in accuracy also.

    Enjoy your new crossbow and good luck.

    I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.

    Well congrats on the new x bow
    BUt doesn't NY allow them for handi cap people?
    I know most state do, even if not allowed in normal seasons
    here in Pa, before they made them legal, all you had to do wasget some paperwork filled out by a DR and submit it, and the game dept would issue you a permit to use it
    might want to look into that
    as for scopes, well I been happy with the one that came with my x bow, sure there are bigger brighter, but to be honest, bigger gets hevier, and well legal shooting hrs are what they are.to date mine has allowed me to see fine till , eve past legal hrs
    just saying, a high dollar scope really isn't needed for an x bow
    and trust me, I own plenty of high end optic's, and I am saying this lol
    if you want or need more power, Ok, but you do loose field of view, and light gathering ability with higher power, so its a toss up on low light then , or even a loss
