It's gonna cause a lot of controversy...because now it brings into question what is a bow? And what is a gun?...really cool idea and all tho but I tend to lean towards it being more of a gun...

If by legal you mean illegal...then yes?!? Airbows do not conform to the legal arms, ammunition, and equipment for hunting in Alabama at this time.

Interesting. Their website shows that it is legal for deer in Alabama. [img:center] [/img] If by legal you mean illegal...then yes?!? Airbows do not conform to the legal arms, ammunition, and equipment for hunting in Alabama at this time.

Some good ol Alabama rednecks tried hunting with something like that several years ago. A GW told me they caught 2 guys "bow" hunting with single shot 410's. The guys had cut the shot out of the shells, loaded the gun, then slid the arrow down the barrel. The GW said powder burns on the deer did the hunters in. I can't verify the story but I had no trouble believing it.

It shows in the link that it has been approved for whitetail in Alabama. Maybe crossman knows something that we don't know or who really knows. It'd probably be fun to shoot but doubt I rush out to buy one. I'll stick to my old switchback xt for bow hunting

Check the regulation 220-2-.02 and 220-2-.03. Air guns are legal, .30 caliber and larger, but not airbows. They also do not meet the legal specifications for a bow and arrow. Don't believe every thing you read on the Internet.
Not saying this won't change and airbows become legal, because legal arms and ammo have changed a lot over the last several years.

You should post this in the bow section and watch the meltdown ensue.

I understand that bows shoot arrows, and this shoots arrows, but why is it called a bow. There is no bow to it. About as much bow as a rock.
