Robhuntandfish Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The hunting NY forum winning streak continues! Congrats. And welcome to the best time of the year for hunting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Good for you!! But finding a bow hunting safety course scheduled before Xbow opens could possibly be an issue with this Covid-19 issue. Let's hope not!! Maybe the DEC will offer it online this year!?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolc123 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Fortunately you don't need to take the bow course because NY state law still considers the crossbow to be a muzzleloader. You do have to sign the little card in the rulebook (or available on-line) and cary it with you when you hunt. If and when they open up all of bow season to the crossbow, they will also require the bow course. I doubt we will see that happen anytime too soon however. You do have the best two weeks of bow season to use it now, in the southern zone, plus three days a month earlier up in the northern zone, prior to the early ML season up there. Personally, I have had more success, in just (6) years with my crossbow, as I did in the previous (30) years with my vertical bow. It is that much of a superior weapon for deer hunting. Not needing to draw, with a deer in close, and having the ability to shoot from a rest with a telescopic sight makes it way more lethal.

nyslowhand Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Flipping the sight pins to the other side isn't a big deal. Most are universal anyways! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 16.75" is axle to axle, so I think she is ok if thats the case. Carry on Cynthia, kill sometinhg! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
