Jim, are crossbows going to be a legal hunting weapon again? My dad was going to get one a couple years ago but then heard they were being taken away so never bought one.

FYI. Crossbow approval!! Got this e mail this AM. Pending final approval of the 2014-15 state budget by the st, legislature. The X-bow will be a legal hunting implement, able to use in small game & big game seasons that include firearms. Also can be used in the last 14 days of the S. zone season & the last 10 days of the N. zone early bow season.
Also the archery set back is 150' for archery equip. & 250' for the X- bow. Still no X-bow use for Suffolk & Westchester co's.

So does that mean crossbows for archery season also? I guess im a little confused on your wording.

Copo, when you say late season, are you refering to after shotgun/rifle ends or the later part of the early archery season prior to Shotgun/rifle

And this means discharging Bow/X-Bow 150'/250' nearest dwelling ???

Late as in muzzle/ late bow season. And yes instead of 500' with bow it will be 150' from a livable dwelling. Most people don't know this but waterfowl hunting is 150' too. Just can't shoot over dwellings.
