X Bow rule for NY???

[J.B.]

I just use a decocking bolt. When im ready to get out of the stand i shoot it into the ground right in the path on plan on taking out of the woods. Pick it up on my way by. I've probably shot it a couple dozen times and its still in good shape.

how crazy is it that a crossbow needs to be uncocked to not be considered loaded but a muzzleloader just needs the primer out. Yet you need the same license to use both of them.

I forgot my discharge bolt last year and drove home with my crossbow cocked. Obviously no bolt in it but I didn't know what else to do. I grabbed my discharge bolt and fired it in the front yard.
