Regardless, each city has the authority to prohibit, as many already do, shooting a bow within the city limits for whatever reason. The legislature can define whatever they want. But cities can restrict firing of archery equipment, just like any other hunting weapon, within the city limits.

That is very true. Like GaryFish said most cities have their own rules on hunting, or shooting in or around city limits, but let me add that a few will not have their own ordinances and will just go with the state and/or county regs.

Where I live you can't hunt, with any weapon, within 1/2 mile of the city limits...no BB guns, no rifles, no spears no arrows, no knives...nada.

I can shoot a bow or a BB gun in town, but I can not use either weapon to hunt, or be in pursuit, in town.

Some times the argument comes up while trapping. In our 1/2-mile "buffer" zone a guy using a .22 pistol to dispatch an animal in a trap will get a ticket.
