Acting all entitled, and expecting the DEC to cave to your demands, is exactly the same behavior as these men, who claim they are women, and then want to compete against women in sports. It's pathetic actually.
So lets open deer season Oct 1 to Dec 31 weapon of choice. Makes perfect sense then no one feels left out. Then everyone will be happy.
I guess some on here are very narrow minded in there believes. why do they call it a crossbow? That is easy here is why. longbow recurvebow compoundbow crossbow all shoot a shaft with a broad head in front and vanes or feathers on the rear using limbs and strings to propel it.

Therefore it is a bicycle, and should be allowed in bicycle races. It sounds silly, but that is the exact logic you are attempting to use. A crossbow is different than a bow, the way you load the power, the way you hold and aim it, that you can fire it with almost zero movement, all very different than archery. I am not anti crossbow, it absolutely should be permitted, during gun and muzzleloader season, because it is fired in the exact same manner as those two. I'm curious, these guns that fire arrows, using a gunpowder charge, is that archery too? I'm being serious here, because I've heard people claim it is archery too.
Was sarcastic Ruck. But i'm sure there are plenty that would agree with it. Simple fact NY requires you to buy a muzzeloader stamp to hunt with crossbow. Why wouldn't it be under archery tag if it was archery equipment? And if answer is to sell more tags, then why not make people buy a cross bow tag. Legit question.
The last time I shot a bow I held it at arms length, drew it back, anchored against my jaw, aimed, and released. I did not load it before getting on stand. I did not rest it on my treestand rail, put the stock against my shoulder, release the trigger safety, aim through a variable power scope, and fire, all with almost zero movement. The last time I did those things was when I hunted with a GUN! This could go on forever, we disagree. You want to let kids under 18 use the crossbow during archery season, to spark an interest in hunting, fine. But after that use archery equipment to hunt during archery season, and I won't fish in fly fishing only streams with my spinning reel.
