A 223 is not permitted for hunting big game, but it is still a rifle, or is it not a rifle as defined by the regulations?
The argument that a crossbow is not archery equipment is a smokescreen.
It makes no difference how one defines a particular weapon. Any weapon can be approved for any season. If our government sees fit.
A Crossbow is not a Rifle, but it is permitted during the rifle season.

Keg you are introducing new arguments and confusing this specific situation....you are not talking apples to apples with your .223 comment.
I quoted the regs Keg.....re-read my post slower
....the capitalized part that talks about muscular power....
I'll save you some time,
Persons hunting big game must use an authorized bow and an authorized arrow. An authorized bow is one that is held, drawn and released by muscular power and has a draw weight of not less than 18 kg (40 lb.)
