can citizens of Oregon own a crossbow?
<answer> No <context> The crossbow can only be used during the archery season with a disability permit from the DNR or it may be used Durning the rifle season by anybody...my info is from endless hours of research and from a MN conservation Officer.3 people found this useful. bow / crossbow is not considered a FIREARM I am a convicted felon and I hunt with a compound bow sometimes twice a day! Im not sure if a separate classification exist for crossbows, possibly on the federal level.
