I read a different tone in this response. My problem with the way this whole thing unfolded is it was based on unsubstantiated allegations and anecdotal accounts of fraud, technological advancement restrictions only applyed unilaterally, initiated by biased groups trying to protect a doomed OTC deer hunt, targeting a group of people who already have many personal challenges. Are there people who cheated the system? Probably. Does it need to be reworked? Sure. Had it been worded as simply as the following, in my opinion the division in groups and anger by those who feel attacked would have been much less. The current Crossbow and CHAMP permit programs have become unmanageable in their current form and the Commission is proposing a purge and restart with new requirements. Public comment period is from .. to .. . (Given facts, purposed new requirements and restrictions on equipment)

Sorry to hurt your feeling. Not really. Low budget mentors are needed. You are Savage. I hope you get your 50yrs, some of us didn't and didn't abuse the old system. Yet still we get painted by others as cheaters, cowards, ect. Some of us went into the military as able bodied and are now unable to pull and hold a bow. Thank you for your future low budget mentorship.

And I read that you prostaff for Savage, so at least budget mentor anyway

Jdown, This crazy thing called the ADA let's people with disabilities still be able to get to the second floor, drive cars, access buildings, and even archery hunt. Hope you never need it.

Oh, you will, just with an airbow or crossbow.

I have seen a few shoot off the end. Its actually how you remove a Surefire carbon locked can. Turn the collar and shoot it off into a berm. The reason I choose SilencerCo, Diligent Defense and Otter Creek Labs over other companies is for their customer service and warranty. Personal experience and customer experiences tell me they are the best. Others warranty their cans, but my experience with them have not been great..

The Zero tax stamp doesn't go into effect until Jan 1, 2026

have you used many steel cans? My first 30cal can was a titanium HTG Predator, they went out of business. It isnt very light, but I dont remember what it weighs. My first 30cal steel cans weighed 24oz, a Specwar 762. My Silencerco Scyth weighs around 8.4oz with the mount. Diligent Defense Enticer STi with the mount weighs 9.3oz. The old style uses baffles inside a tube. The new computer welded Ti baffle stack style is much lighter. The 3d printed ones have been a little bit heavier, but who knows what will happen.

My question... Will the proposed changes to the use of magnified and red dot optics pertain to the Air Bows as well? I didn't see them mentioned on the slide. Some states allow 1x scopes or unmagnified red dots on both crossbows and muzzleloaders due to eye focus issues that happen at old age. I do hope all the limits that are proposed for both Crossbow and CHAMP permit holders are likewise be applied to what is now considered traditional archery equipment. Here is the response I got when I asked about the comment period and to what weapons the rules in Article 2 would apply. Good morning The public comment period will begin July 11, you'll be able to review the draft language at that time and provide any thoughts, comments or suggestions. At this time, within Article 2 the Department did not focus on optics for any other weapons other than crossbows.

The zero tax stamp goes into effect on Jan 1, 2026. I know people that are going ahead and buying their suppressor and paying the 200, just to have their can for hunts this fall. A ultra lightweight 28 Nosler with a can might be worth an extra 200 to somebody...

Nomad Ti is a good one. For hunting cans i stay away from the Ls. Starting with 1, I'd go with a 30cal can. Diligent Defense Enticer STi is my favorite 30cal based on performance, weight, length,and how the company takes care of the customer. Silencerco Scythe Ti is another favorite. I treat suppressors like optics. Set up a rifle with a scope and a suppressor and dont move them. Where do you live? Maybe meet up and try a few?

I think how it happened is awesome. A suit was filed to abolish the NFA based on it not being a tax. An argument can be made to abolish the tax on machine guns now too.

You misspelled suppressor

Just got the email approvals. So, 6/18/25 to 6/23/25. I guess 5 days isn't too bad.

I will take it. Sent text.
