§ 15.2-916. Prohibiting shooting of compound bows, crossbows, longbows and recurve bows
Any locality may prohibit the shooting of an arrow from a bow in a manner
that can be reasonably expected to result in the impact of the arrow upon the
property of another without permission from the owner or tenant of such
property. For the purposes of this section, "bow" includes all compound
bows, crossbows, longbows and recurve bows having a peak draw weight of ten
pounds or more. The term "bow" does not include bows which have a peak draw
of less than ten pounds or which are designed or intended to be used
principally as toys. The term "arrow" means a shaft-like projectile
intended to be shot from a bow.
