    This comes up on here frequently enough. I'm always surprised to see that people automatically think it ok before being corrected. I don't get that at all.

    It probably doesn't help that many of the Fishing and Shooting stores around the coutnry have a few bows and a selection of cheap arrows on sale. Many of their customers may assume that bow hunting is okay.

    I'm not having a go at you so don't get uppity at me. I'm just saying I'm surprised that so many people assume it legal automatically rather than the other way around is all.

    thats fair enough cookie but as the grayson says a lot of gun shops and fishing shops are selling bows and exces. and people like myself are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. so dont be to suprised at people inquiring.
