Well I had to have my dad give them his birthdate, they said i couldnt buy it cause i was only 17. If they think that someone could kill someone with a bow square, they need to get a life. They better outlaw kids from taking pencils to school before somone gets hurt. I guess if they cant stop us from hunting, they are going to try and stop us from buying hunting gear. I dont think they were jokin with me because i didnt know this person at the register, and they were new there so i dont think they would joke. Who knows
