Yes it does!

We have no idea. All we know right now that the 2 year 'Trail' Bill / Law that was to be for 2 years (2010-2012) expired Dec 2012 (this month) and the Governor of New York State did not sign a new Bill making them legal to use for 2 more years or permanent legislation to be used as a legal hunting implement.

I don't know if he can or will sign in in 2013 still making it legal to use for the Fall 2013 season or what.

There is a very powerful lobbying group here in NY State that is very strong, has a lot of money and supporters, etc. that DOES NOT want the crossbow to ever be legalized - especially for the Archery Season itself.

Very sad really - those of us who have used crossbows know the only advantage to them is - less time to master shooing one, etc.
