Yes. Totally legal. Look it up in the regs for proof. The waterfowl regs aren't that long.

There are threads on here of people shooting snows on fir island with them. I bought a recurve to smack some ducks /geese
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

As long as you use Non-Toxic arrows and only have 3 knocked at a time.... I believe there would be nothing stopping you.

um.... last I checked.... an "Arrow" consists of a shaft, fletching, knock, and broadhead.

Don't forget the popcorn. Just carmel it first before it accidentally falls in the water in front of the blind. Maybe CrackerJacks. It would be challenging.
