An unenforceable rule, is not a rule.
If you don't add to, or mark the bow in any way to assist you,
then it is not illegal.
Placing extra marks on your riser is illegal.
Using the natural spots of the riser to do the same thing is not.
Marking your riser is not the same thing as visually mapping your unmarked riser.
Even if visually mapping the natural state of the riser was illegal, how would you enforce the rule?
I guess you could makes rules stating that the risers "all" have to be the same shape, same size, be of an unbroken smooth shape & finish with no color variation, or transitions.
Yeah, that might work ( I doubt it ), but it would eliminate at least 75% (or more) of all the shooters in trad classes across all venues.
The binos thing is a whole different ball of wax.
Even they would have to have marks, or be marked to be remotely reliable. Just have a rule stating that marks on binos which can obviously be used as a range finding tool are strictly prohibited.
That would be easily banned/governed/regulated.
Don't show up with them, and if you do, and get caught using them on a competition course, you get DQed on the spot.
See, that's an easy one.

Edit for a PS:
I have a set of 10X50 Nikons, that I love.
I use them for hunting, and I use them for 3D to map my spot on the target to aim at.
I've experimented with the above bino as a range finder thing with them.
It don't work. They can focus very differently, and vary as much as 10 yards (or more) from one time to the next.
That don't work so well.
