I went to the local bow shop today to buy a new bow square today since i lost my old one. When i went to buy it they ask me for my birth date to see how old i was. What kind of law is that? What has the world come to. Thats unreal! anyone know why they would do this?

See, i was wonderin if there were any laws like that. I work at a bow store and im only 16. But, i dont think its legal to sell archery stuff unless your 18. I know at wal mart it is. But, how old are you and did they let you buy it?

i think they were just pulling your leg! even if there is a law about how old you have to be to buy a bow or arrow ,broadheads etc. i don' t think stuff like a bow square or string wax ,or nock points are included in that law, if they are thats just plain old DUMB![X(]

I sure hope they were joking. But, anymore you never know. I mean, i went to buy a scope one day for my .22 and the lady got all pi$$y about it and whent he little ding thing on the register for ID came up, i was like, your kidding me, and she said, " No sir, considering what there used for i dont think they should be legal at all" But, i didngt get into it with her. I mean, i can see there being an age limit for some things, but when you cant even buy duct tape anymore because there afraid your going to smoke it? thats a little rediculous.

Well I had to have my dad give them his birthdate, they said i couldnt buy it cause i was only 17. If they think that someone could kill someone with a bow square, they need to get a life. They better outlaw kids from taking pencils to school before somone gets hurt. I guess if they cant stop us from hunting, they are going to try and stop us from buying hunting gear. I dont think they were jokin with me because i didnt know this person at the register, and they were new there so i dont think they would joke. Who knows

That sure is stupid , especially when you can but them online without ID . Shop somewhere else , and make sure their management knows why . [>:]

I think im going to lock my bow square, relese, wrenches and every piece of equpment, in my gun cabinet so i wont hurt anyone with them. Im woundering if this is some kind of law or if its just the management of the store. I may ask them sometime this week, just to find out.

Navy, your right you could buy all that without ID. Scary huh?

you' ve got to be kidding !!!! they wouldn' t let you buy a bow square ?? well i guess i can see how it' s a deadly weapon and all ,this is getting UNREAL!!!!![X(] [X(][X(][X(][X(][X(]

it always amazes me where these people get the time to come up with this stuff either this is there lifes goal or they just don;t have a job like normal people
