I live in pa. {but mostly hunt in ny} i have had a crossbow for 3 yrs and only hunted with it once , i hate it ,its bulky and heavy and no more accurate than my old bear compound, and if you use a climber it better be one with a shooting rail.
I have to laugh to myself when u see guys posting that it can kill a deer at 50 yds plus, maybe they can but i know guys that use them all the time and their kill ratio is know better than using a compound,and if u have a bum shoulder like i do ,without a cocking device their damn near impossible to load save urselfs some money and stay with your compound
