Coincidently I read the regs yesterday. I know some experienced folks and I was thinking about talking to them about it. My bow would need some updating - hasn't been used in a long time (would need new sights, to be restrung, and I think it would need to hold a spool to send out a 'restraining line.')
I was also curious about the specific bangstick that the reqs mentioned. Didn't seem like very complicated hardware.
Check your freepmail - bangsticks are necessary (.45cal I recommend). Easy to use, just keep the dangerous end down!
