It is an airgun that shoots arrows, it is a gimmick, and quite frankly it does not belong in a hunters arsenal in my opinion. A cross bow will do in archery season for the handicapped, which is why they were initially legalized. Calling it an airbow is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who has any. Sorry, I do not believe just because someone thinks they found a way to make money there is any obligation to make that gizmo legal for hunting. A line has to be drawn, calling a gun a bow is one of the arras where a line should be drawn. You know as well as I do it won't stop with the handicapped, the crossbow didn't so it should be stopped before it is legal for anyone. Just one more example of the camel's nose getting under the tent.
