This bill allows hunters over age 60 to use crossbows with a draw-lock device to hunt game birds and animals, expanding current law that previously limited crossbows to disabled hunters. The change adds a new exception to South Dakota's hunting methods rules, making crossbows available to senior hunters as a legal alternative to traditional firearms and bows.
