The man was walking down 1st St NE with a tactical vest, a loaded shotgun, a tactical bow and arrow and a samurai sword in a hidden case behind his back.

His Chevy with Utah license plates came up positive for explosive traces when the dogs sniffed it. There are more weapons in the car.

The area has been cordoned off during the investigation.

9NEWS NOW Reporter Audrey Barnes is on the scene where officers are going over the man's belongings.

I added the emphasis.

What the heck is a tactical bow are arrow? What am I missing? Or is this just another case of the news media being amazingly stupid?

Probably a black compound bow.

I dunno, but clearly we better ban them... QUICK!

Maybe it has a bayonet lug?

Maybe it has a bayonet lug?

Only if it also has a folding hand grip, or threaded bow nocks. Do we know if this one had the post apocolytic stlye detachable mutliple arrow magazine.

Tactical bow and arrow? Paint it black, call it "tactical", and raise the price 10%.

Maybe it was the same bow and arrow set-up Rambo used?

Tactical Bow

I had to Google it and it appears thet the Iranian Army is using the Tactical Bow.

As with most good ideas they got this from the American Movie Industry film RAMBOW.

hahaha. that is funny..

the LAPD SWAT just picked up some tatical bows, traded in thier MP-5's....


broadheads can go through bullet proof vest tho, so in one aspect an arow can be more dangerous than a bullet (if fired into a vest)
