It's called an analogy. It's used to illustrate similarities between 2 concepts.
In this case, one could argue that grass mowingand snow shoveling/blowingand bowhunting are similarly dangerous to one's self and nearby others. Yet, despite the similarity, many HUNTERS would like to see more regulation in their own sport but would probably not advocate more regulation in their yard/landscape maintenance.

Gundeck, I also staed this a few pages back.
Guess I'm not the average parent when it comes to teaching my kid about the responsibility that comes with
hunting. So I guess it's a good thing for the state to give an introduction to these things.
Guess there is nothing bad that can come from this.

Don't have to be a parent to be a mentor.
So the kids of non-hunting parents will never be hunters?

Yes there is a difference in my humble opinion. We are talking about giving safety instructions for a weapon that is designed to kill, that does not discriminate in the path of the projectile, that is left up to the brain behind the trigger. If the brain does not know how to operate this weapon it could have fatal consequences to not only the user but those around the user. I gave all my children, extensive instruction in safety and operation of the lawn mower before they used it. I am proud to say, they have never fell out of a tree stand, trying to rake leaves, with razors attached to metal sticks. HUH? Apples and Oranges.

Weapon safety is taught in general hunter's ed classes (which I am in favor of), so I don't agree that a separate bow hunter specific course is required to teachweapon safety. JMO
