Hope they smack him pretty hard.

You're right bstout. And I hope they take away his hunting priveleges for a long time, but I must admit, myexperiences with guys like this is they'll kill animals whether they have a license or not. Notice I said "kill" and not "hunt". I'm a hunter and this guy has no business being in the brotherhood as me.

This guy should have any firearm or Xbow taken off him for good and never be alowed to gain a licence after his nice long holliday inside. Too dangerous.

Any IDIOT can shoot a gun or a crossbow. I hope the media does not portray this guy as a hunter. Unbelievable how they can twist stuff around when it suits them.

it had to be some little bow if he shot it out of the vehicle. I wouldnt attempt shooting a excal out of the window. Its hard enough getting it out through the door when its open

but yes, it will probably fall back on everyone because of this.. another badname case for xbows

Probably had them suction cup tipped arrows. I think it's another media exageration. How you gonna get a freaking Xbow up while driving a car? I agree it must have been a small one. Like a kids toy.

I used to have one of those cheap chineese made pistol type crossbows when I was in highschool it was fun for plinking at targets with. I wouldn't call it a toy per say, but it was also only slightly dangerous, not much power.

I never tried, so I don't know for sure, but I very much doubt it would break the rear window on a car. It may break a window in a house, but autoglass is some tough stuff.

I would guess he had a real crossbow.

Whatever it was, that guy is in a world of trouble now.

I think those are made by BELL. There was a outdoor shop in town until last year, that sold BELL gear. Lots of cheap JUNK!
