Full inclusion of crossbow during bow season if 60 or older.


Recommended Posts

Haven't heard anything about this as of yet.  Seems to me they are moving towards full inclusion for all eventually, but like everything the government does, they do it incrementally, so it becomes less intolerable to the opposition over time.

The final Bill was never brought to the floor for a final vote. So no changes made again this year. Typical NYS BS! The founder of NYS Crossbow Coalition, Rick McDermott and his wife were recently, tragically killed in an automobile wreck. So not sure from this point who will carry the banner, to lobby for changes in Albany. I know some people behind the scenes in the CC. And they are still sorting through all the stuff that Rick was working on. But as of right now, no one has made the step to fill the huge void Rick left behind.

 There is now a form on the DEC website for an individual to have their Doctor fill out so they can use the Crossbow during the Entire Season ! They still have to have their Bow Certification / Tag .

https://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/25022.html

 

That permit is to allow hunters "with a permanent physical disability (verified by a licensed physician) to use a crossbow equipped with a breath-tube apparatus for releasing the bowstring".

In reviewing the Form the " breath-tube apparatus " you mention is no where to be found ? I'm sure the NY Bowhunters are up in arms over this but Who Cares !

@escpen  .... I stand Corrected  , I reread the website and sure enough " breath-tube apparatus "  is there but for some reason it is not on the Form itself . Now I'm lost as far as the " breath-tube apparatus "  being a requirement or just an adder (lets say) ? So Begins the Confusion !
