Thanks Double ... I know I should let these 3 guys go, but having crossbows being considered archery is liking try to tell me night is day.

Legal definiton of crossbows and bows according to Maryland DNR

A bow means a longbow or compound bow, which is normally operated by using both hands. A
bow must have a full draw and pull of not less than 30 pounds.
