Support Fair & Inclusive Archery Opportunities in Minnesota
Minnesota law currently allows legal crossbow use throughout the full archery deer season — and we believe that law should remain in place.
Crossbows are a safe, ethical, and lawful archery tool that:
✔ Increase hunter recruitment and retention
✔ Support aging and mobility-limited hunters
✔ Maintain conservation funding through license sales
✔ Have no proven negative biological impact on the deer herd
Wildlife management decisions should be guided by science and participation — not division within the hunting community.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources manages harvest through permit areas, bag limits, and season structures. Crossbows do not change those controls.
