Also I dont see anyone hunting with a scope on there bows even though you can. Just a thought.

How does a scope make any difference to a crossbow at 40 yards? The answer is it doesn't, magnification makes no difference at that range. Why are there scopes on crossbows? Tradition, just as there are no sights on a longbow and sights are common on a compound. Put compound sites on a crossbow and you changed nothing.
Taking the scopes off muzzleloaders won't limit the range of the gun. I started hunting long before scopes were common and 200 yard shots were normal using open sights. I will say that it would be much better for the game with quicker cleaner kills using scopes but I have no qualms shooting as far as I want with open sights.
