I see a notice in Cabela's catalogue that "The sale of bows and crossbows is restricted by law in the following area's: North Carolina, New Jersey, New York city and vicinity." Surprising about NC, but not the other two. Surprising also that CA isn't included. So you need a permit to buy a bow in NY? Somebody should develop a plan book of easy to make weaponry and dump a million copies on the streets of NY. We built one once with a car spring -- put a piece of re-rod through a concrete brick wall. Ray Dillinger wrote:

I was looking at archery sites this morning, looking for a light recurve targe bow, and hit an Australian page that also had crossbows -- was shocked to see that you need a permit to buy these "prohibited weapons" there. Doesn't take much to make a crossbow, folks. Must be those Aussies watched Mad Max movies a few times too many, eh?
No fed statutes on crossbows, but does anybody know how many states have permit restrictions on them?
