RE: crossbows in NY state
As far as I am concerned, they should. However, this being NY, I wouldn't hold my breath till it is passed.
So, for the record, I feel that all of the following should be legal in any county in the State:
Centerfire rifle,
shotgun,
centerfire pistol,
centerfire revolver,
any muzzleloader,
any bow,
any crossbow.
Just my opinion, but getting it passed in NY is near impossible.

I'm not a fan of Xbows.Compounds make learning to shoot a bow well plenty easy enough as it is.The idea behind bow hunting is it's supposed to be a challenge.Other than limiting your range some Xbows eliminate that.

Manufacturers and VERY few hunters are pushing for xbows in Pa.
Until about 6 months ago, one of our commissioners on the pgc board stated that they received request for crossbows at public input meetings by ONE person, a crossbow representative. (HIS words, not mine).
They are being shoved down our throats by a few commissioners on the board that want every deer killed that they can get.
