I thought I read some where that you can't put anything on your compound to enhance your vision or have lighted sights?

There may be a restriction in P&Y about that. Not sure, but I thik even lighted knocks are a no no for them.

Its a P&Y restriction, not a law in NY. Im not sure about any rules for magnification for P&Y though. I do know there are no electrical enhancements allowed on a bow or arrows with P&Y.
