I don't have the height to close he gap pulling straight on, and not strong enough to pull the rope over my head to make the last 3 or so inches to get it engaged and locked. I had strength enough to draw it to me, but I ran out of me! lol. I discovered quickly after several attempts there was no way on earth I could ever cock the thing with the rope. Holy Crap!!! Did I ever under estimate what I was dealing with here! So, now I just came upstairs from shooting the new crossbow. Once it was together I was pretty confident it was done properly, but with all the horror stories and pictures of stuff gone wrong and people getting accidentally injured, I'll admit to being more than a little nervous. First it took me probably 3 times longer than the video guy I watched to assemble it because I was being extremely careful not to screw this up.

OK here is an update for anyone interested. the entire limb, pulley and cable section will be one assembled unit. If you don't mind and have a moment, and not too much to ask, perhaps you can check yours again before I need to take mine out of the box and put it together to check for myself, and before bringing something back needlessly. So if you are getting 17" as far as I am concerned that does meet the criteria. Oh.and also, I did read it is measured "tip to tip", at the widest limb spread. That said GC how do we get a final ruling on this before I needlessly take it back, or we both potentially get pinched by these crossbows? Metaphorically speaking of course. No idea who he was other than obviously being another enthusiastic crossbow person with a fondness for CP. There was another guy (customer) who saw me buying it and just walked up to me and told me it was a "great crossbow", "you will be happy with CP, I bought one like that this year and love it!", and he then walked off.

And, that is what the fella at Walmart told me too, that the crossbow actually measures he said "17", plus a little" overall and met the requirement. I thought I read here on this site where someone put a tape measure on it and got 17". Well now it gets even more interesting (confusing.lol) for me! Pretty sure NY specs are tip to tip not ATA I put a tap from limb tip to limb tip and it measures 17 inch's exactly. I recently bought the CP Amped 425, basically the same bow and it's advertised at 15.75 ATA.

Most new crossbows sold in NY stores even dont meet the requirements.īest bang for the buck is Sniper 370 and if you get the trigger mod done on it, just cant beat it. Now I need to look and see what is out there that actually meets the limitations.Īny hoot, thanks again for the insights! Happy hunting! What the hell difference does it even make if it is 15.75 or 17 other than some arbitrary number some politician pulled out of their ear (or more likely their lower orifice)? I'm surprised they bother selling a crossbow that does not meet the requirements, and even more surprised and confused over such a goofy rule to begin with. It is what I read too, but being brand new to this all I guess I didn't fully understand where things are actually measured even after reading it.

When we built our house 30 years ago I made sure it could accommodate a full 20 year indoor bow range. My plan was to put it together tomorrow night when I get back to my house (I work out of town), and then shoot and sight it in downstairs at my house. Lucky for me then I have only had it 2 days, and never opened the box.

Minimum overall length: 24 inches from butt-stock to front of limbs.

Minimum limb width: 17 inches (outer tip of limbs, excluding wheels and cams, uncocked).

The trigger unit of such crossbow must have a working safety. Good luck but I dont think Wallyworld will give you a return on crossbow unless under 2 weeks.Ī legal crossbow consists of a bow and string, either compound or recurve, that launches a minimum 14-inch bolt or arrow, not including point, mounted upon a stock with a trigger that holds the string and limbs under tension until released. If this has been addressed on here in another thread can you please clue me in where? Thank you! I saw the 17inch thing on the DEC site and will go back and look again.

But, because I read somewhere on this site at one point where someone said to not confuse the actual width measurement versus axel to axel measurement, is why I thought they guy made sense when he explained it to me.

Maybe the guy did not know what he was talking about.

I have no reason to own a crossbow I cannot hunt with. I'll check into it closer then, and if it does not meet the 'hunting" requirement it goes back tomorrow.
