Muzzleloaders

Legal muzzleloaders include rifles, pistols or muskets that can be loaded only through the front of the firing chamber with separate components and that fire a bullet of .40 inches in diameter or larger, using hard-cast solid lead, conical lead, saboted, or tumble-on-impact bullets.

Archery

  • Legal archery equipment includes longbows, recurve bows, compound bows and crossbows.
  • No bow, crossbow or arrow may have any electronic device attached that controls the flight of the arrow.
  • Devices that may be attached to a bow or arrow shall include lighted pin, dot or holographic sights; illuminated nocks; rangefinders; film or video cameras; radio-frequency location devices; and draw-lock devices.
