Pa archery license sales from 2009 till 2019....those numbers pale in comparison to when Pa gave a preferential early archery season. Back in the day when Fred Bear traditional bows were the norm. 😉
Bow hunting went thru the roof when compounds came on the scene...and has been growing yearly since..
Why? Because compounds were easier to master compared to traditional bows...same applies to crossbows..
