I'm all for it. If you don't like it tough. Because you can't do ANYTHING about it!! Every state should do this. if you get into your stand and there's a coon about to come at you who would want to nock an arrow, pull back, and shoot something that's 2 feet in front of you? Not to mention doing so in the dark would be impossible!! If I had this rule the trespassers i see on my land won't be walking away.

In PA, you can have a handgun while hunting archery season if you have a license to carry. The gun may only be used for self defense.

It is about time we get with the program and allow people to participate in the right that was given to us.

If someone posses a threat to me, I will drop the bow and go for my glock.

I can see this being a sensible rule in states with bear and mountain lion populations, but INDIANA??? We have NOTHING threatening here...
Seriously????

So your telling me if someone is shooting at you or is coming through some brush, your gonna try and take perfect aim and shoot them with a bow?

No you drop the bow and go to your defensive gun and go to work. Thank you DNR!!! Great job!
