LOL maybe you could get one of the big bow companys like mathews or pse to sponsor you if your character uses thier equipment in the movie version!

Well, thanks for sharing and all that but you haven't given me any idea about the status of bows as weapons. For example, are they regulated under the same department that firearms are?

Judeeth you might try posting your question under the archery forum.

I'm not a bow hunter, so don't know the laws regarding use of a bow as a weapon. I'm guessing they will vary from state to state & even in each town/city.

Say, I'll do that. Thanks for not blowing me off.

Nobody is blowing you off jud its just common sense that a bow is not regulated the same as a firearm,its not a firearm.There is no age limit for purchasing a bow,you do not need a permit to carry one,and i doubt anyone would define it as a defensive weapon.The only regulation i know of concerning a bow is that you have to complete a bowhunting safety course before purchasing you bowhunting permit to hunt big game with a bow.
