Do you think your semantics change the legal document or this discussion? The regulations do not allow crossbows in the archery season. These same regulations prohibit the use of spears and atlatls in the archery season....

From the Regulations:
"“archery only season” or “Archery Only Season” means an open season for the hunting of big game that is restricted to hunting only with a bow that is not a cross‑bow, or to hunting with a cross‑bow by the holder of a cross‑bow licence;"

Neither Potty's post nor the regulations say anything about a crossbow or all the other prohibited weapons for the archery season being firearms.
