Having done a fair amount of lobbying, I know it takes an organized effort with much pushing and shoving to get the attention of state agencies. Keep in mind, a bureaucrats only objective is to get one day closer to retirement each day. The smooth path is the one they will choose every time. You need to disrupt that path, big time, before you can get their attention and change direction. One letter won't do it.

Pa. used to be like that also for x-bows now anybody can use them. The in-line crowd is screaming they want their in-lines in our late Flintlock season its getting ugly anymore. :cursing:

NO argument from me.
I don't know about PA but in VA the crossbows were added into "primitive weapons season" PRIMARILY because there are places in VA where there are over 200 WT per square mile. = Using crossbows is believed to have increased the kill of surplus deer, there.
(When I was living in VA, after counting 61 deer in our 1/3 acre suburban yard in a ONE HOUR period in September 2009, I was called repeatedly by the county's animal control officers & OFFERED a "depredation permit" to hunt with my crossbow IN the city/county parks, as the deer were eating EVERYTHING, including all the flowers, shrubbery & the bark off of the trees on private lawns.)
Note: Based on the gross over-population of deer in Fairfax County & in The City of Alexandria, I have suggested in writing to both jurisdictions that deer season be OPEN all year, until/unless deer populations fall to a "sustainable level".
yours, satx

Since crossbows were around at least 1600 years before the flintlock showed up on the scene, it's tough to argue it's not a "primitive weapon" - especially if it's of the recurve (non-compound) design.
