Has anyone been ticketed or heard of anyone being ticketed for having a crossbow that is too narrow for New York ?

not surprised ... its getting harder and harder to find one that meets the requirements ... the new xbow legislation that doesnt pass every year i believe has removed or reduced that restriction .....

I know a guy who spent a crap load of money on a raven second season getting ready he noticed strings were coming apart could not get it fixed I would rather buy a 350 dollar crossbow it isn't that big shoots as accurate and fast as any needs to why buy something that isn't legal

Know of more than one guy who has had crossbows come apart on them. Luckily no one was hurt.

I know this doesn’t answer your question gutshot, but I’ll take my compound any day over the 2 crossbows that I own. I’ve killed one deer with each one, but I just don’t like em🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

Now back to the question, I don’t know of anyone who has been in violation with a narrow x bow, and I must say I would like to try one of these newer narrow design xbows .

yea that’s insane, one of mine is rated at 410fps, but it’s actually kind of violent when I touch it off, my wife’s is slower shooting but much less shock and just way smoother. 500fps is crazy
