Can a convicted felon hunt with a crossbow in missouri?

Answer 1

NO,

Weapons, as defined by 571.010 RSMo include: firearms, gas guns, spring guns,

antique, curio or relic firearm, blasting agent, detonator, explosive weapons, knives

(other than ordinary pocket knives with less than 4 inch length blades), switchblade

knives, projectile weapons, blackjacks and brass knuckles. Other prohibited

weapons include black powder rifles, stun guns and tasers.

A bow is a projectile weapon.

Answer 2

A cross bow may not be allowed by the state for anyone. You are probably on safer ground with a bow and arrow. Check in with the caseworker before getting involved in either.
