Red dot scope Question

Is it legal to use a red dot scope on a shotgun, muzzleloader or rifle in big game season on TN?

I see them sold mounted to crossbows and in trophy pics so my thinking is yes, but want to be sure.

That is why I ask. The instructor at the hunter safety class said electronic sights are not legal.

But a red dot does not "illuminate" the animal. I have seen recent trophy pics from TN crossbow hunters w/red dots.

I wondered about using a laser dot sight like Crimson Trace Grips on a 44 mag Revolver, for instance. I don't think you can "locate" wildlife with it.........Any thoughts?????
