So whats the laws with shooting bows....?

My daughters beg me to get a couple for them everytime we go to Sports Authority.....

Is it the same as firearms......Where as long as you don't irritate your neighbors and the arrow doesn't go past your yard....?

Is there city limit laws.....?

I might be entering into the world of bows hoping that there are more places to shoot, versus a firearm....

I'd hate to cough up money for something I "ALSO" can't shoot anywhere....

Don't wanna go to a range, just wanna shoot in the back yard with my daughters....if possible...

Thanks in Advance

As far as I know you can shoot it on any private property freely. There might be some safety issues you have to deal with but if your neighbors are cool n you setup targets right youll be ok. Just take precautions when teaching them to not draw the bow aiming up. The two ranges I used to use is koko head and kapiolani park.

Right On! Thanks DjEROQ..... Trip to Sports Authority it is

I would suggest that you take a trip down to everthing archery and have a talk with Lance (he's the owner) or his pro staff. They are very helpful and have an indoor range at the store so you try before you buy, they also offer lessons and rentals maybe have the kids try it out first before you buy.

get a crossbow.  the new ones have mini eletric winches so even your daughter can use the bows which have 175lb pull...

just remember, never dryfire a bow weather it be a crossbow or a longbow/compound bow.

I recommend island archer, near the airport. When I got into archery he set me up with what I wanted and needed. He did not try to force the expensive stuff on me, he made sure I had what I needed and provided printed info on where to shoot. It's very important you get the correct arrows to go with your bows.

I have my recurve ordered through Island Archer and just waiting for it to get here. My only experience with archery is from boy scouts so I'll be doing a lot of learning. I heard everyone (clubs, experienced people who can help you, etc.) hangs out at the Waipio range which is behind the pool and you can't see it from the parking lot so you just have to walk in that direction and you will see it eventually. I thought the archery range at Kapiolani was shut down and hasn't reopened yet cuz some idiot shot an arrow onto the tennis courts.

I'm not well read into the archery laws (if there are any specific ones) but I do know that if an arrow is nocked (on the string) then it is considered "loaded" so don't run around with a nocked arrow. Similar to having a round in the chamber. No absurd laws about where you can keep and transport bows.

I would suggest a compound bow with a large adjustment range that your daughters can grow into. And never dryfire any bow.

So once in awhile I see people doing archery up at Waiau District park at the corner of Komo Mai and Kaahumanu......

It's the park with the Fire Station right on the corner.....

So whats up with that? It's ok to shoot at a district park? That would be cool if we could...

Anyone got info on that?
