does a crossbow need to be cased when transporting in N.J.or is a car trunk or back of pick ok?

 

[briarpatch]

Yes...it must be cased...same as a compound...

please refer to the regs on the NJ F&G website....

 

[JJoe]

I cannot find a statement in the digest where a bow must be cases? Firearm, yes...

Anyone know for sure?

 

[Dubs]

same as a compound...

I didn't think a compound need to be cased. For that matter I don't know if a crossbow does either.

As Joe said, Gun yes, but Bow?

 

[fmjcrack1]

it isnt a law but all should exercise good judgement. I myself case mine.

 

[briarpatch]

my bad.....was going on what I'd been told....still a bad idea to have your compound or crossbow banging around in your trunk or pickup bed uncased....

 

[JJoe]

still a bad idea to have your compound or crossbow banging around in your trunk or pickup bed uncased

I agree..All my bows are all cased anyhow..

 

[Dubs]

same here

 

[super x]

no cases needed

 

[super x]

Can it be cocked with no arrow loaded????? Doesn't say anything in the regs, does it??

 

[PJSoden]

See page 24, item #10 in safety tips section of Digest.

No matter what the rules say or mean, I would always case it....mainly to protect it

 

[briarpatch]

True, Ex...true....I always cased the compound...will do the same with the crossbow
