Another newb question I suppose.
I was looking at the hunting regulations for neighboring states that have game not available in Ohio, and I see that West Virginia does not allow the use of a "bow locking device" when bow hunting deer and black bear. The WV regs do not define "bow lock device," and so I'm left wondering to what they're referring. Are they talking about a release? Cliff's: Is a "bow locking device" the same thing as a release? |

You look like the most normal person on the planet, or a serial killer. I can't decide. Either way, rock on.- Dan_Gray

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

I have been at it for a couple of years and this was the first I had heard of it. |
