Looks like Authorized, by definition means Legal. By Authorized, they are referring to legal description of requirements required.....It says nothing about a Xgun being a Bow

Persons hunting big game must use an authorized bow and an authorized arrow. An authorized bow is one that is held, drawn and released by muscular power and has a draw weight of not less than 18 kg (40 lb.). This is the number of kilograms (pounds) required to draw an arrow of 71 cm (28 in.) to its head. An authorized arrow is one that is not less than 61 cm (24 in.) in length that has a tip that bears a head that is not intentionally designed to resist being withdrawn after it has penetrated an object. Furthermore, it must either have a solid, sharp cutting head of at least 7/8 inch in width, or a head that, when the arrow impacts, opens to present sharp cutting edges at least 7/8 inch in width.

But nice try... Did you pay attention??

I guess a bow, that isn't held, drawn and released by muscular power and has a draw weight of not less than 18 kg (40 lb.).

Isn't authorized!!!!
doesn't say it's a bow anywhere....wrong again!
