Crossbow

A crossbow is a bow with a rifle-like stock that shoots bolts or short arrows. Safe use of a crossbow requires following the safety rules for both firearms and bows.

• Many states have laws which limit the use of crossbows.
• Never travel with a loaded, cocked crossbow.
• Like conventional bows, the crossbow is limited to short-range shooting.
