I'm not entirely sure what to think about that , but then I don't live in Pa . It sounds like fun , and with enough practice it would do about as well as a bow I suppose .

RE: Pa. May Let Hunters Use Prehistoric Weapon

where did this whole thing come from?!?! i didnt hear a word about it till yesterday...my grama of all people told me about it!! i thought she misheard it or something.....i didnt hear a word of it....and thats odd being i visit a PA hunting forum..though its pretty out of control and rediculus posts there so i dont read toooo much...pretty odd weapon to say the least.....i like hunting with a flintlock....be a spear thrower??? that would be wild......and i know a guy that will probably jump on it when he comes back and hunts here.....

Now that along with hand thrown spears should qualify as primitive weapons. I'm not too sure about the scope mounted, hit a quarter at 200yard,so called primitive weapon muzzle loaders that are now legal.
