I just watched that too. Meh, the more toys come up on the market the more I want to go to longbow/Mongolian and arrows. Back to basics.

The next step will be a powder charge that will propel an arrow. I'm not a bow hunter but this all seems silly. Even a crossbow seems like its on the edge of "bowhunting".

So would it be considered as "archery " in the regs???

I am sure the archers on here have something to say, as I know some don't consider crossbows as archery...

Ps.... I want one...

Hard to say where it would fall into the regs. Probably varies by province.

Alberta doesnt even recognize crossbows for archery seasons

Federal law wouldn't consider it a firearm with 450fps

BC Hunting law would class it as a firearm

Shotguns have been adapted to shoot arrows .

Sad!
