A friend of mine was shooting his bow in HIS back yard (wooden fence surrounding the property) with a very well-constructed backstop. One of the people in the neighborhood called the police - and he was told that shooting a bow is illegal since it is considered a weapon[:-]. He stood his ground and asked for proof. The police officer returned with a written statement that it is in fact illegal in the city limits, and issued him a citation for DISCHARGE OF A WEAPON in the city limits[:'(][:@]!!!! I have news for these people - a horseshoe can be a weapon if it is not used properly - so is a hammer, screwdriver, etc. Archery programs are instituted in schools, where weapons are banned!! What is this world coming to.
