Well, an intelligent discussion would not begin with the assumption that we would need to ban any particular weapon or method of hunting simply because someone does not like it. Then the discussion moves further into the realm of overbearing pomposity when a magnanimous offer is made that it would be possible to regain legal status if you should like to "prove your method/weapon is worthy".

Other than assuring that the weapons had the same amount of bladed cutting surface as is required for other cutting edge weapons there would be little else to "regulate". Unless the archery folks want to open discussions on what materials, weight, fasteners for broadheads etc. they would like listed as allowable for their arrows and which should be 'banned'. I know this bow hunter would not like to enter into those discussions.
