I don't think there is one in Florida. I always thought you went by common sense.

Next door in Nevada,
It has to be able to send a minimum arrow weight of 400 grns, 150 yards over level ground.

40# at your draw length minimum for bow, and 150# minimum for Xbow here in Saskatchewan, Canada.

..................."40# at your draw length" does that mean my lenght been 28" ...?? What if the bow is 25" @ 50# ? ???
-
bow101 it simply means whatever your draw length is, it needs to have 40# behind it. Regardless of what the bow itself is marked. If you take a 40 @ 28 bow out and you draw 25", your illegal.

Washington State is 40# @ 28"
the only cross bow use is for disabled hunters, with state disabled card & with a cross bow endorsement. The endorsement means the state says you can't pull a bow back, however you can't use electronics to help you pull the 150# needed on the cross bow, go figure. Ed
