Crazy L's Question:
Ok. So im planning on buying a compound bow for my son because he really wants one. First We Live in New York. Second we need to know if you need a license for it. But he isnt going to kill anything he is just going to shoot foam targets.


robelwell46's Answer

its perfectly legal, im 13 and i have owned a compound bow since i was 12, owned it with out a license. I have also hunted with it. And a responsible law abiding citizen gifted it to me for no reason. It was his old bow. I oonly recommend that you buy one that he will be able to draw and shoot comfortably. DOnt forget a realease and arm guard......The relase is more accurate than fingers. I live in P.A. Too, philadelphia, and i was hunting on a farm, people from the pgc were there checking the land and they siad nothing to me, and they saw me in my stand, alone
