Looking for the history of legal crossbows in NY. Not sure when they were legalized, I do know that the season is now 2 weeks after the regular archery season. I hunt NY and am from PA.

And everyone is switching over to crossbow and I think the harvest % will continue to climb. Thxs for any data. FT
