Personally I hope it does not get approved for archery hunting but INTEREST I see at our archery club is just UNREAL..Everyone wants one for archery hunting..flhtcuse wrote:Firearm - includes a device that propels a

gas or spring and includes a rifle,
shotgun, handgun, pellet gun, "BB" gun or spring
gun but does not include a bow.
The BC Hunting Regulation's definition of a firearm is above and the definition for Crossbow and Compound bows specifically use the word STRING. This Benjamin Airbow would be categorized as a firearm and not be eligible for archery seasons and rightfully so in my opinion.
I can only say this,The pa game commission will change rule like you said if one exists..They want more hunters and more MONEY...This could be devastating to CROSSBOW industry in my opinion.....Will it get approved for archery in pa? I bet it will..
