According to what I read it was quietly passed in 2023 for 60 and older and will go in affect in June then I was told by someone on the inside it was updated to include everyone

I bought my bow back in the mid 1980s.  It was made by a small semi-custom company called Grand Slam Archery.  It has a machined aluminum riser, which is what drew me to it back then.  It's all I've ever used, and still use it.  The younger guys I play pool with all laugh because I still shoot aluminum arrows, and use a finger tab.  My bow is only 37% letoff too, which contrasts greatly with what all the bows are now. 
I can see the day in the near future when I just switch over to a crossbow though.  As unwieldy as they are to carry around, mine adds a good 10 yards to my effective range, and that extra speed should help with avoiding the bad hits from deer "jumping the shot".

I never liked carbon arrows and always wished I stayed with aluminum shafts
