Crossbows are now allowed in New Jersey for ALL Hunters during the Archery Season


On Tuesday, June 16, 2009 the New Jersey Fish and Game Council voted on adopting proposed amendments to the 2009 – 2012 Game Code. The Council voted to adopt all the proposed amendments.

The most significant amendment adopted expands the definition of "bow" by removing the prohibition on all draw locking and draw holding devices and by including crossbows in the definition.

This allows the use of crossbows in any bow and arrow hunting season and other hunting seasons for all species where the use of bow and arrow is allowed.

This amendment, is expected to increase participation in New Jersey bow and arrow hunting seasons.
