South Carolina Legalizes Crossbows for ALL Bowhunters!

South Carolina Liberalizes Crossbow Regulations
On June 11th, South Carolina Governor, Mark Sanford approved Senate Bill 691 amending the South Carolina Code of Laws related to crossbow use.

This bill amends Section 50-11-565 of the 1976 Code by striking the entire section and replacing it with a new definition of archery equipment.

The amendment to Section 50-11-565 reads “As used in this chapter, archery equipment means a bow and arrow, a long bow, a recurve bow, a compound bow, or a cross bow.”

Prior to this bill, crossbows were legal for handicapped hunters by permit and for all hunters during firearms and muzzleloader seasons.

Crossbows were illegal during archery-only seasons.
Crossbow are now legal for all bowhunters in South Carolina !!!!
