Adam... the NBEF IS NOT MY ORGANIZATION... again... you are reading into things... I TEACH BOWHUNTING EDUCATION. I teach Hunter Education. I am also an NRA instructor in rifle, pistol, shotgun and muzzleloader, I am an NMLRA Field Representative and Instructor. These organizations have their own rules and regulations. They are NOT MINE. I am in the process of giving YOU and anyone else who would care to look at it... MY OPINIONS ON JUST THAT QUESTION OF YOURS... do I think crossbows should be in the Pennsylvania Archery Season. But the short story is, and the Pennsylvania FISH AND GAME looked to the NBEF most likely, Crossbows are permitted in Pennsylvania in several units apparently during the archery season from what I read online from the Pa website, but might require a muzzleloader tag BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A CROSSBOW TAG PRINTED UP. They consider the crossbow separate from the bow.
Do I care Adam.... No I don't. Should you care... well maybe you should.. it apparently is your state... not mine.
Do I care if Crossbows are legal in my state? NO I don't... and I don't care either if they are legal in the Archery Season. They are not legal to hunt with in Hawaii unless you are disabled. We are trying to change that next year. If it means they start being in the firearms seasons... that's ok by me... whatever .. they are a valid hunting implement and should be allowed somewhere.
It looks like the only place me an skeet agree over the long run, is that hunting is a personal thing. You are picking the arm you hunt with. What anyone else hunts with is IRRELEVANT.
If I missed reading one of your posts in this thread, I apologize... I didn't see it. I don't like being MISCHARACTERIZED either.
For the rest of this feel free to look to a new thread I started of MY OPINIONS... that will leave no doubts as to my OPINIONS.
