    I was wondering how many yards away you have to be from a house to archery hunt in PA. And also how many yards away from a commercial building. Thanks

    Here in NY they reduced the distance. 150 feet with a bow, 250 feet with a crossbow. I went to their website and looked up the regulations, just check on the PA website to see what the laws are their. Best of luck this year!

    That's what I thought it was only 50 yards for archery
