Resident urges Archdale to ban bow and crossbow hunting within city limits
Summary
A resident asked the Council to update city ordinance to prohibit bow and crossbow hunting in residential areas, citing safety concerns after nearby property sales brought hunters closer to homes.
Archdale — During public comment at the April 28 City Council meeting, resident John Reid asked the Council to update the city ordinance to prohibit bow and crossbow hunting within city limits, particularly in or near residential areas.
Reid, of 816 Wall Street, said recent property sales have placed hunters closer to neighborhood homes and that he is concerned for residents’ safety. Mayor Dorsett explained the public‑comment process and the council received the request; no action or vote on an ordinance change took place at this meeting.
Council members did not debate or direct staff to draft an ordinance during the same meeting. The item remains a public comment request and would require staff research and a formal ordinance process if Council chooses to pursue it.
