Default Bobuddy, ???

In the last few years I have seen a few products that make me think. Today Isaw the Bobuddy. Itis a tripod for your bow. The stabalizer hooks it to the tripod and the bow stands free. To me this takes out much of the aspect the bow provides. I then saw these people use the bow lock thing so that the bow saton the tripod locked back ready to shoot. These were healthy people that are just lazy imo. Doany of you have expierences with these products?

I have never used any of those. But I do think arrow gun is pointless. Its a pellet gun attached to your bow.

Only real use for that I can think of is for the handicapped. Locking mechanisms are illegal in VA and probably most states. Of course now that we allow x-bows I'm not sure that still applies.

well the law is that banned x bows is and i quote form NY book,

"It is illeagal to take or hunt wildlife:
with a bow equipped wth and mechanical device wich is attached to the bow for drawing, holding or releasing the bowstring."

Does that mean i cant use a release?

you can use a release. I think that says anything attached to the bow. A release is attached to you.

I hope you didn't cut and past that, the Ontario regs aren't full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
