Shoots an arrow, now its considered a bow. . . 

[NFA-ADK]

Cross bow is not a real bow either yet they shoved that into the season, this will be next, then we will have gun powder charged arrows.  They all shoot the same projectile so they must be equal will be the mentality. 

[Robhuntandfish]

I know how to solve the problem. Open up a one day season between crossbow and gun.  Issue solved!

So, pray tell, what is a REAL bow?

Something you have to hold the string back with your muscles to shoot. 

[Robhuntandfish]

Eventually there will be a primitive weapon season.  Will be outlined as shooting a projectile with the use of a mechanism that doesn't have a propellant. Or something of that sort. 

But chances all we will all be long gone before the "airbow" becomes legal in NY.

Airbow?  Is that thing still around?

Renaming and redefining the season, or carving out a renamed and redefined season is a reasonable proposal, as long as definitive distinctions are made (for inclusion or not - above my paygrade) between crossbows, trad bows, and compound bows.  Otherwise, the "archery" debate will continue over crossbows and vertical bows.

An idea that just popped into my head is to have an every-other-year early season.  Odd numbered years go to primitive weapons, and even numbered years go to anything that flings an arrow.  Whatever...  It's just an idea, and might have more traction than my "TankBow" or "HarmlessBow / Land MineBow"  Hahahaaha.

No it isnt, its an airgun that shoots arrows. Crosman even says that right on their web site.

LOL, and I guess a REAL hunter would never shoot a crossbow, right?

How about ClaymoreBows? Just strap one up to a tree next to a deer trail and sit in a blind and wait for the right one to walk by! Push a remote button and watch the carnage!

I don't know...  It's too close to my top-secret invention, of which I'll share only the name: "BazookaBow!"  Exclamation point included...

Your words not mine, I just said they where not a real bow.

And yet a 90% letoff , 350 fps, 29" ATA  machine that can only be shot with a trigger is a bow.

Got it

It was a question, not a statement

[Dom]

Not to change the debate,but these are another form/firearm and should not be called a Bow at all in my opinion.Air rifle that shoots a  large dart.

Yes when you actually need TWO hands to shoot it!

PS:  Not everyone using a bow has a 29 inch draw length or poundage yet everyone shooting a crossbow will get the same speed, go figure.  Try getting those speeds with a 27 inch draw length at 55 lbs and just because it is a compound bow does not mean you need a trigger, I have a few guys who shot them with fingers!  Try that with a crossbow!

I use my fingers to shoot my crossbow. How else would I do it?

ok show a video of you holding the sting back with your fingers, lol.  Or did you not understand the post.  Next you will say I was talking about the trigger and how it was just sarcasm.

 

[Just Lucky]

I use 5 fingers to hold the front,use 4 fingers on the stock and 1 on the trigger. Nope not sarcasm,  thats how its done.
