Illinois Crossbows

Post by Woody Williams »

The Illinois house and senate has passed a crossbow bill allowing the use of crossbows in their late archery season,.

This was a"compromise" down for a full inclusion, but still a foot in the door..

It is awaiting the governors signature.

At least it's a start...would be interesting to know how many states have some sort of crossbow season. :?:
My hope is that in the next few years to have them all. :D

At least IL seems to be heading in the right direction on something :) Maybe MO will feel some pressure to follow suit!

Nice...good to hear the door is opened a crack now at least. :)
