Some crossbows can be shot extremely accurately to 60 yards or more

dont know about that , with the noise they make , the deer will be in the next county before the bolt gets there . Not a big deal , if pepole want to hunt with them I say let them , but it does seem weird for Pa to pass this , I guess its because ohio has a similar law . You have to shoot a flintlock in muzzelloader season with open sights , but in archery they let you use a crossbow , go figure .
