New York State Crossbow Update and ?

 Governor Patterson signed into law the bill allowing crossbow hunting in NYS but it appears that the dec will not have anything ready until 2011 at the earliest. New regulations take time.
With the fall season upon us bow season will be opening soon. Brings back memory's of  my bow hunting days with a recurve bow. Not to good of memory's as far as having a good hunt. Spent a lot of time waiting .It seemed that it took even more cunning on the part of the hunter to get or be in a good postion to make a shot . Holding a 50#? bow was a trial in its self. Also the custom made arrows  Fresh out of the box with brand new  broadheads.Made just for your draw length.
Practice would  take its toll on the new arrows.But even without the great success of the hunt it will always be a great time in my life.Another recurve adventure carp in canal in Newark, New York .To try and shoot carb is a visual game between your eyes and the water. The fish is not always where it seems. Believe me when I say it took a few arrows to learn.The arrow was attached to the bow with a open faced round drum type reel with fly line to secure the arrow.and allow retrieval of the arrow. This was a time when the canning factory was running in Newark,New york.The canal served for a path of alot of excess corn and peas floating on the surface of the water. This made the carp ripe for the picking.Another good time in life. Good times in life come all the time and most people don't realize it . As you get older you seem to forget to have good times in life. Savor life before its done.

Be safe
See you in the woods
