In NJ, only a firearm has to be cased when transporting in or on a vehicle including an ATV.

Even a bow has to be in a case,that's what the regs state.

What reg is that? I did several electronic searches of the 2009 F&W Hunting Digest with negative results. Only the regulation about firearms must be cased during transport was found.

Do you have a page number?

A cross bow is just another bow and need not be cased during transportation. It must be uncocked though. The regulation on firearms being cased is in 23:4-24.1a, but it only applies to firearms. Any other questions?

[briarpatch]

called Fish and Game and asked the same question...no, it does not have to be cased

[squidly]

did they quote a reg. i can't find anything that says a bow/crossbow have to be cased

what reg:huh:

[briarpatch]

there is NO regulation that states a bow or crossbow has to be cased...that being said, it's in your best interest to have it cased...it protects the weapon from shock and the elements

[boatliftman]

huh, i always thought you had to have your bow cased in NJ in any motor vehicle

What regulation says it must be uncocked?
