I bet it was posted in the local paper though about the new laws. Are the PGC going to spend money for all the local papers telling of changes though? Also the laws that BTB mentioned was for safety and security reasons.

Press releases don't cost anything and thats the standard way any governmental agency gets the word out. If the new crossbow vote holds up, I'd guess that thw WCO's will probably show some leniency but the bottom line is that a guy would have to be holed up in a cave or be out of the country (which could apply to our servicemen and women) to not have heard by the archery season.

Not final.

As of right now x-bows will be legal the first six week of statewide archery season.

What might happen is that on Oct. 6th, three days into archery season the board may vote to finalize a proposal to limit x-bow
use to Oct. 3rd thru the 17th statewide. Those that have handicapped permits would still be able to use them.

Those that became handicapped between now and Oct 6th are SOL since the is no way to obtain a handicapped permit since as right now there is not need for a handicap permit since everyone can use a x-bow during the full six weeks of archery season (oct 3rd - Nov. 14th).

Has handicapped permits gone up at all that you know of? I know they would of dropped after everyone applied for it that was going to. Dr.s will issue anything for a buck now a days. It's no longer the doctor telling you what you need but you telling the doctors what you need. Same with drugs, Dr. make money from the drug companies for useing their brand also. Just go in and say hey Doc, I need this drug you think its ok for me. Yep sure is,heres your prescription,go have fun now. I don't use a crossbow, but I don't think it is right to re neg either unless it causes harm.
