 | |  | | ![]() hah, well, if you have the bow near your bed and you can string it quickly, I should think that someone pointing a huge fucking arrow to your face looks more trouser-wettening than just a gun. | |  | |  |

Heh, I see your point. Still, what else would you call something that was designed to kill?
Oh, and, I would take the time to string this sucker before I would settle for a heavy club-like object if I knew someone was in my house.
I'd drop it as soon as I had the shotgun, though.  | |  | |  |

That very same thing could be said about a thermonuclear bomb (appart from the part about the arrows). | |  | |  |
|
 | |  | | ![]() How about a thermonuclear arrow? You wouldn't want to get shot with one of those. : ) | |  | |  |

| | | | The problem is the radius for collateral damage would be larger than the firing range. | | | | |

If a arrow pierces your heart, you'll be willing to call it a weapon. At some airports they classify it under firearms, despite it not using gunpowder.
It may not be a very good weapon, but it is still a weapon.
As for burglars, I live on the fifth floor in an apartment. I'd like to see the guy try.
Even still, I have a small sword that can cut and not brake from waving it in the air, and a commando knife.

Actually, I've heard that native Americans sometimes attached dynamite sticks on their arrows.
EDIT:
That's a nice sport-hunter bow. Did you get accessories with it? How many pounds strength does it hold? Mine is about 42 pounds.
And for the strung-unstrung part, I was just nagging. | |  | |  |
