Only seabass and big bore airguns is open to public comment I believe at this time.

Chip, along with Crosman obviously want to have this implement legal in as many states as possible, but I don't see it happening in 2016. Public comment is in reference to big bore Airguns that meet qualifications of .30 cal or more and 650 fps or more. None of these are met with this arrow gun.

According to DEC regulations, it's not even legal for small game, which is 600 fps.

Surprising so fast. These things seem at least as capable as any decent crossbow out there, but obviously shouldn't be allowed into archery.

[Buckmaster7600]

I don't in any way consider that a bow, crossbow or Any type of archery but I would consider it cool as hell and now I want one! I don't know what I would do with it but that's never stopped me from buying stuff before!

[Fredbear2]

Wow not very accurate when scopes can be taken on and off for air gun and crossbow use !

[Culvercreek hunt club]

The genie is out of the bottle ..... lol. I knew the crossbow was just the beginning. Technology knows no bounds. Just look at todays compound bows for proof of that. Bow season started with a bent stick and string. Now look at it. I warned of every addition to bow season setting new precedents for the next. I can only repeat that warning.

It'll be a hand held rail gun next...lol

The same thing happened with "muzzle-loaders"!

 

Both bow & muzzle-loader seasons were enacted to give those that wanted to use "primitive weapons" W/O competition from hoards of hunters using modern equipment.

With the way hunting technology is advancing, and with so many hunters embracing it over traditional hunting, its just a matter of time before there is just one big "use what ever you want" season.

It has to be a human nature thing.

The only part this has in common with a "bow" is an arrow. That does not make it a "bow"... If I put a bullet in a slingshot that doesn't make it a gun...

Oh now there you go trying to apply logic. Now think like a DEC upper management person and you will start getting a feel as to how it will all really turn out.

I'm not sure if seabass can be used during bow season. Probably not because it's generally black and has dangerous spines, more than 7 capacity I'm sure. Might be illegal in NYS.
