RE: N.Y. Crossbows
Personally, it won't impact me either. Private property can be posted "No Crossbows" in a blink of an eye.
Because we are shielded from the effect, does that mean there will be no effect?
That's why your question is a dumb one.
You could hunt in bowseason with a .300 WSM and it would have no impact on my hunting.
You need to raise your arguement to a higher level - principle, operation, function.
Do crossbows BELONG in bow season?
When we can all agree on the answer to THAT question, then we can begin to discuss what the impact might be.
