Calling all Internet Lawyers specializing in Archery Law

[Rag Horn]

Does anyone know the laws surrounding shooting a bow inside city limits? I know there will be lots of opinions on what should or shouldn't be. But does anyone have any reading material that spell out what is and is not legal when shooting a bow inside city limits? Maybe each city has its own ordinances? I am assuming the law would be different if i am on private property vs the playground of the local elementary school but I am interested in learning the nuances of what is legal and illegal.

[CatfishKev]

Pretty much is up to the municipalities.

Go shoot, some busybody soccer mom will let you know if it’s legal.

Yup game and fish doesn't care they actually want the herd in check in the city limits. Endless fight up here in Payson, different answer from everyone you ask.. Wing it see what happens. Just don't let it die in a pita members yard..

I am just looking for the easiest way to target practice in Gilbert. Maybe the range is the best option but am looking to explore all my options.

[wildwoody]

No problem at all target shooting, I used to do it all the time in my back yard when I lived down there.

[oz31p]

There’s a range at McQueen and occitillo

If you live in a homeowners association, that is always a snafu.
