"He said he once set up a range in his in-laws' home in Wheeling and was surprised to find bullet holes through the side of their house."

Duh! No kidding? And this guy is qualified to decide what is right for other people to do?

Give me a break.

I read about two geniuses who thought hay bales were sufficient backstop for a .30-06. Their bullets impacted their house too. Came out the other side... D'oh!
Not part of the gun culture.
When I shoot my recurve and my longbow, I stand near the house and shoot out into the yard. It seems the sensible way, but what do I know?
My county wants to prohibit backyard archery too. We'd need a 600-foot buffer between our property and our neighbors' houses.
There's about 100 acres of woods behind my backstop. I declare that sufficient. We may have an ... argument.

"Restrict the POSSESSION..."
Home searches coming soon?
BRING IT.

Mr. Codrea, I hold you personally responsible for the brain cells now screaming in anguish after I read that link.

Good God. 'Compound bow loophole', indeed.

Since they already ban rubber bands, I am sure that pea shooters and spitballs are next.

For the children, of course.

"the chief expressed concerns after a resident recently asked whether he could use a compound bow in the village."

ASKED. Presumably to use it on his own property.
ASKED.
Is that resident learning yet?
