California is still using cast/distance an arrow travels to determine what' s legal and what isn' t. I don' t remember exactly, but believe the minimum is 130 or 150 yards with a legal hunting arrow.
Curious how the heck they test such a thing with practicality.
I have visions of archery hunters gathering at a golf course with the local Game Warden who accumulates flight data and issues valid "arrow flight" registration slips..
