Most DO allow crossbows in archery season, just most of the states also have restrictions that say you have to have a Dr signed permit. But legal none the less they are.

yes you certainly did ........... you showed how a crossbow has limbs and a string, generating the power that propels the shafts downrange. That is the definition of a bow BTW, if you didn't know.

and again, nothing I'm typing you can't find in 10 minutes of google searching - like when I said most states allow crossbows. Did you not think I KNEW that already? Of course I did. They do NOT allow guns in archery season, none of them do. Google it, check it out, you'll see that I'm right there too.

My point? Bows are allowed in archery season, not guns. Never guns. Crossbows are not guns, or they'd not be allowed.

Here is something else that'll blow your mind. Ready?

I have a legal archery weapon in my hand, its a bow because guns aren't allowed in Arkansas archery season. Its a crossbow, and its defined as a legal bow.

I cross the state line into Kansas and BAM! It becomes not a bow anymore bases on Kansas rules and regulations.

Now, did the bow change? No, HOW the state's laws categorize it changes (how its allowed), but what it is hasn't changed at all.

In fact, it hasn't changes in centuries, the crossbow is, and will always be a bow, by the very definition of what a bow is.

Look the definition up, you'll see I'm right, and you'll also see how the compound bow is very close to not being a bow at all.



In the end, a crossbow is not a negative to archery season, never has been and THAT is why it being approved in more and more states. Like the compound, its far easier to shoot than a recurve or longbow, like a compound in draws in hunters to archery season. These are all positives, not negatives.

If you're against a crossbow, list why, and I will in turn list why your compound too should be banned based on the same reasoning.
