Here is some things all you guys for xbows keep missing.

Laws are in place that make up what is leagal hunting wepons are to be used in a certain seasons. Thay do not tell you what class of wepon it may be [bow, rifle, hand gun].

So with that said a xbow falls in what most states say is illegal archery equipment! Here in montana you allso can not use any battery-powered,chemical or explosive items.It allso states that to be legal archery equipment,one hand has to me on the bow and one hand on the string or release,or release aid. The bow will be no shorter than 28 in.Arrows will weigh no LESS than 300 grains.

If you can make a xbow do this it can be used any time if not,it may only be use in rifle season.

They all so have very similar rules in Muzzleloader,handgun and shotgun seasons.

Just for examples

You can not use any sabots in muzzleloaders.

The barrel of a handgun can not be over 10 1/2 ins.

I know my 11 1/2 in 41 ruger can NOT be used in handgun units. But I sure know it is a hand gun.BUT if I want to hunt in a handgun unit I have to use a difrant wepon.Just as xbow users will need to use a difrant wepon to bow hunt here in Montana.
