Nothing wrong with them in a regular season however , and as far as regulating them hoes what for?
The people that use them know full well the capabilities and the distances involved in making a clean kill.
I don't think that the people using these have an overpowering desire to get blood on their hands either, of they would simply use rifles and shotguns ...,.

I dunno Cat. If i were using a spear or dart thrower i guarantee you i would be found playing in archery season. That is what its for, with archery equipment being the most advanced equipment for allowable use. This really is a no brainer. I am primarily an archer, very little rifle use anymore. I cannot and would not back anyone or anything stating that early season "archery" need exclude even more primitive methods than such. And again, i would just go hunting if it were me playing with these tools.
