How nice of you to say take away from the rifle hunters what they have had. You do realize today a large portion of hunters only hunt saturdays thus they have 2 days to hunt because of financial reasons. They aren't a new breed of hunter wanting to have an exception made for them at the cost of others. Your suggestion of reducing the length of the rifle season shows who the greedy ones are and that is you and other xbow fans who have always been too lazy or uninclined to go out like the rest of us with a vertical bow and actually participate in "ARCHERY".

So, in short... give you the ability to archery hunt all archery season with a string gun but cut a rifle hunter's season in half. We didn't need the xbow included, especially now. Instead of creating new opportunities to kill deer the PAGC and BOC need to figure out a way to fix this train wreck of a deer management program they have created with their new way of thinking and new way of "managing" the herd. But in typical PAGC fashion they are led by the dollar instead of common sense in securing a future for the PA deer hunter. A new weapon will create an easier method but it will be shadowed out by the ever decreasing amount of deer we have in the larger portion of this state. People have quit hunting because of less deer and the direction the PAGC has taken not because those hunters felt they needed another method of hunting. This inclusion takes us further from what Pa Has been in terms of Hunting Tradition.
