I have one. Havent shot it yet.
Respectively, most bow arent bows either. Maybe we should all make our own bows, arrows, and points. Then we can be real bowhunters...

Just because it shoots an arrow doesn't make it a bow. A bow, by definition, is a weapon made with a strip of flexible material (wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc) with a cord holding the two ends bent, or "bowed".
Longbow = bow
Recurve = bow
Compound = bow
Crossbow = bow
Air bow = not a bow

I realize its not a bow. That is quite obivious. Probably fun none the less. Who cares what they call it? It would be just as awesome as anything for harvesting a deer, especially for my children who cant hold the heavy weight of a compound. It should be just as legal for casting an arrow as a crossbow. It has the same arrow drop and wind influences on the arrow. It seems to be safer for my children fingers than a crossbow. Does the fact that it has no limbs bother you that much?
Glad to see some people finally recognize the crossbow as a bow.
My comment about most bows arent bows is that i feel the pro shop setups is a far cry from being a primitive weapon, but somehow you are a purist bow hunter if you shoot a tricked out compound with a mechanical release and hold the weight.
Im for options as long as you arent killing for the fun of it and stay within the limit.

I think it is great for disabled hunters who can't draw a crossbow or shoot a regular bow too!

If it kills animals and is fun, great. But it is not and never will be a bow.

My opinion...humbly:
Long/recurve---bow (of course)
Compound---Still a bow, but lacks in instinctive technique
Crossbow---Uh...really? Kind of limbo b/t bow and gun. Lukewarm. Doesn't cut the mustard for saying you "killed him with a bow"

It ain't legal to use in bow season, so who cares. Bingo
