So can you find a firearm in there too? Because I can't.
Well we differ there, as the stock, trigger and safety mechanism are the firearm part. I agree though, they are more bow like than they are gun like. I just don't think they are bows.
Dosen't change the fact that a crossbow is a form of a bow.
Yes, a form of bow, but not A BOW. As was written-
Yes Arkansas does break out crossbows seperately from other archery, but in the AGFC definitions of archery equipment there are two categories; Long, recurve, and compound bows and Crossbows
I happen to think there was a reason Arkansas lumped all the bows together, and then added another weapon to be allowed in their season. That's cool guys. I agree with Arkansas .. the bows are seperate from the crossbows, they have their own qualifications in terms of being legal and they count the deer killed seperatly. If this was allowed in every state I would tell you that there are BowHunters and Crossbow hunters. Not better or inferior.. just different. Arkansas lumped them together .. other states seperate them, but they are still considered different.
