Well,
It appears that the 2010-2012 'Trail' law that allowed New Yorkers to use a crossbow during our firearms season was NOT signed back into law for another 2 years this Dec 2012! Talk about a set back!

This was the reason why I chose NOT to purchase an expensive crossbow because I know how F'd up NY is - and now al these guys than ran out and bought expensive crossbows these last 2 yrs can no longer hunt with them in this state.

NY has been it's own WORST ENEMY is getting the crossbow legalized while other states are enjoying crossbow season(s) and their elderly, female and women bowhunters too being able to enjoy and use them - as well as anyone with any kind of shoulder or elbow injuries or disabilities!

Sad....disgusted with this state of ours!
