Have you seen this?
I guess it classifies as a firearm. You are using your lower receiver and yet you are shooting arrows/bolts.

Given that you have to use an AR15 lower receiver, I wonder if it would count as hunting with a firearm according to game laws.
I am waiting for the AR15 drills, grinders, and sawzall attachments, but that is just me.

Since the lower technically considered the "firearm" by law, then it would be a firearm. It just doesn't have the right additional parts to fire cartridges, but neither did the lower I purchased at the gun show.

I had seen the ad for it in my new Shooting Times magazine and I hit the wall.
If you have money burning a hole and you have to have something no one else on your block has. Seriously, why not just buy a "regular" crossbow? Isn't there a saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted." What ever floats your boat I guess.

Isnt the legal definition of a firearm as a weapon, especially a pistol or rifle, capable of firing a projectile and using an explosive charge as a propellant?
And I dont really want to buy one. |

For hunting in Texas, a crossbow is regarded the same as a firearm as far as hunting season goes. The only exception to this is for disabled folks, who can use one during bow season. All of the crossbows I have shot have been about as loud as a .22, so I can't really see an advantage to one over a traditional bow.

There's ARs that cost less than that, why go back 600 years in technology and spend more money? If it were cheaper I could see the draw.
