FINALLY!!!someone admits that the reason they dont want crossbows is because they want the woods all to themselves. By any chance do you own an auto body shop in PA???

No no autobody shop. I barely know a piston from a pop-tart.

And no i don't want the woods "To myself" I can't get that NOW. LOL Bring them in and you'll finally see the opposite end of the "They will never affect seasons and bag limits"
This is a crazy state with too many people, and too many of them already trying to find their own slice of the pie. I will not even hunt in the general firearms season as it is now.
Call it selfish I don't care but I don't want to see what I know as an archery season turn into a shorter season fueled by another 2-500,000 people looking for a place to hunt with a weapon that I already don't consider a BOW. Sorry.
The 3 farms I hunt I only get to hunt now because I don't rifle hunt and the guys who DO rifle hunt it don't bow hunt.
Make crossbows legal in archery seasonand it's just another early "rifle" season because those guys who are unable to or don't want to put the time in to figure out how to work a compound or recurve now can simply sight their crossbow scopes in and flood the woods. These guys don't UNDERSTAND bows, but you can bet your bottom dollar they'll understand how to load a bolt, line up the crosshairs and squeeze a trigger.

You don't think that will happen? Then you don't know PA very well.
