Would anybody have a problem with allowing xbow use during the mz and regular firearms season? I suggest this is a good way to start. If the interest is there and the popularity grows, who knows? The only reason we don't have an early mz season in NY is because of the political clout of the bowhunters relative to the mz'ers. If the xbow enthusiasts are content to get their proverbial "foot in the door" I think it would just be a matter of time before it would be legal during the regular archer season.
