How can anyone wade through all that and try to make a decision on whether or not it is a good thing or a bad thing?

No wonder lawmakers can never get anything done. Always have to make things more difficult and complicated than they need to be. :O

We just received word that Senator Mannion introduced S7747 this week, It is the same as bill to the Woerner A 1299 Bills. These Bills will 
1) Change from Muzzleloader Privilege to Archery Privilege, 
2) Change Longbow Season to Special Archery Season and Include Crossbows
3) Allow 55 and older to use Crossbow in the Special Archery Season
4) Allow crossbow use in Special Archery Season with Dr Certification
5) Allow all Jr Hunters use a crossbow beginning at age 12
6) Reduce crossbow setback from 250 to 150 ft
7) Remove arbitrary 17” width and 200 lb max draw weight restrictions.

I'm not understanding completely. ? 

Is 1) saying that you can use mzl in special archery or is crossbow no longer under mzl and considered archery equipment, or something else entirely?. Lol

If 2) changes our archery (longbow) season to a special archery season that counts crossbows as legal implements. Then, What is the point of 3,4,or 5?

 

Either way, I'm 100% onboard with 3-7..

Basically.makes crossbow archery equipment .. amd archery course will then be required, the rest is just stating who  can use them and when.

So not necessarily included in all of archery season , just in its own season and the specifically listed situations listed in 3 and 4.

Included in all archery if you meet the 3 criteria, over 55, Dr note, youth.  ...so not for all, bur  once this is in the dec should be able to control other changes  the big thing is getting it made archery equipment.

Sounds like the very same bill that was introduced in 2015 and subsequent years since with NO actions taken. Let's just do the KISS strategy, turn over the control of all crossbow regulations to the DEC! Quite apparent our legislators have no clue and are unwilling to consider these Xbow bills. NYCC's strategy of trying to wear 'em down simply isn't working.
