According to what is out there on the innertube this is NOT legal in the State of New York.
But then again, in New York, common sense is illegal. :lol:
That's correct, but that is because of the greater than 200lb draw weight, just like all of the micros.
Yes Sir, and no matter how you slice it, still a whole lotta crazy!! Draw weight does not translate into FPS or energy. Most vertical bows these days shoot in the same neighborhood as for FPS. Forgive me, but I am at a loss to figure this type of reasoning. :eusa-think:
Can someone explain this to me????? :eusa-popcorn:

Just for the record - I never stated a Twinstrike was legal or not legal in Wisconsin. If you have a tag, I don't think having two crossbows in a blind is illegal. If there is a rule against that, please share it in writing. A person could have two crossbows cocked, loaded, & ready to fire. I don't see having a Twinstrike as being much different than that.

How does Wisconsin view the Twinstrike legally for hunting, I don't know?

A semi-auto shotgun without a plug in it isn't legal for migratory birds. Even if you only have one load in the gun, it must still have a plug. Add a plug & that same shotgun is now legal. Let's say a Twinstrike loaded with two arrows isn't legal in Wisconsin. Does loading only one arrow make it legal or do you have disable one of the limbs (remove the string for example).

If Wisconsin was hung up on this, it would be good to know before buying a Twinstrike. Hopefully, a good dealer will not lead customers in the wrong direction, but even they may claim ignorance about it.

The bottom line - How are game wardens going to view the Twinstrike? Are two arrows cocked & ready to fire legal in Wisconsin for hunting? Do we have a definite answer?

I'm not from New Yahk but from what I've read on the interwebs they are just very anti-crossbow there, so they have the min width and max draw weight rules because they want to hamstring crossbow hunters, that's why it makes no sense because they want it to make no sense.

I did call the DNR and could not fine anything wrong with using the 2 shot crossbow , it is just a advancement in technology , as I was told. I think you all are putting to much into this matter . as far as I'm concerned they are legal . no diff, than a double barrel shot gun. :eusa-deadhorse:
