So a couple of idiots want to bow hunt on their half acre in Reston that faces a public path.
Oh yea, this a good idea. Guess where the arrows are going when they miss their target. You guess it, the playground across from their backyard.
The homeowners of the above referenced properties (11624,11626 and 11628 Sourwood Lane) have requested permission from the RA Board of Directors to bow hunt deer on their properties, per Reston Association Use and Maintenance Standard Resolution 12, hunting.
This letter serves as notification of said request and provides the opportunity to attend the meeting on 6/9/14 of the Board Planning committee etc, etc., to voice any questions or concerns.

He can legally bow hunt on his own property in VA. The HOA must have a regulation against it. So what. The most the HOA can do is to simply fine him and he doesn't have to even pay it until he sells his house.
So go hunting and enjoy.

My yard is about .5 acre or so. Maybe a little bigger. But I have huge bucks that come into my yard every year to eat the acorns in my yard. These are some of the biggest deer I have ever seen anywhere in Virginia.

Have you ever heard of a tree stand? You can shoot down from the stand so if you miss the arrow hits the ground. Same way the county let bow hunters hunt in some county parks.

If the goal is to get rid of the deer, snare trap them and shoot them up close. If the goal is to hunt, dude is an idiot.

This probably is not a bad idea. The area has become over built and over populated. Either the humans or the deer need to be thinned, and I am will to bet if there was a vote the humans will win out. Either way, I would rather go quickly by a well placed arrow then suffer from a disabling vehicle side swipe.
Just pondering, but I wonder what the outcome would be if the vote was to thin out the herd of deer or bicyclist?

max possible range for a hunting arrow/compound bow at ground level will be in yards/feet, dumbfuq. We're not talking bullets and firearms.

You have obviously never fired a modern compound bow. The arrows can travel a long distance.
Not sure who thought they could "hunt their own property in Fairfax county." That would be a clear NO YOU CANNOT hunt on your own property in Fairfax county.
First off you can't discharge a weapon in Fairfax county, it's illegal. Hell just waving a weapon in Fairfax county is brandishing and illegal.
Second you have to get a permit from the county to hunt in Fairfax county. Regardless of if you own the property.

Archery Use On Private Property
Urban archery has been shown to be a safe and effective deer management tool to control deer populations on public and private lands in urban and suburban environments such as Fairfax County. Unlike firearms, there has never been a human fatality or injury reported as a result of bowhunting in Virginia.
Fairfax County has an early archery season granted by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Qualified bowhunters may legally hunt on private property from the first Saturday in September through the last Saturday in March. General information and restrictions for Fairfax County is provided on the DGIF website :
• Hunters must abide by all VA state laws, hunting regulations, and local ordinances. Hunters are required to have a valid big game license, archery license, and crossbow license (if applicable).
• Property owner must provide written or verbal consent to grant permission for a bowhunter to hunt deer on property.
• It is prohibited to discharge an arrow in a manner reasonably expected to result in the impact of the arrow upon the property of another without permission from the property owner or tenant. The ground must be used as a backstop (e.g. hunting from a tree stand).
• There is no minimum parcel size (acreage) required for a landowner to permit a bowhunter to hunt deer on the property. The property owner should consider notifying adjacent neighbors, as a courtesy, before hunting due to the proximity of residences and small parcel sizes.
• Hunters are obligated to make every reasonable attempt to retrieve a wounded deer. Hunters must obtain permission from other landowners to track or retrieve deer from a neighboring property.
• Hunters are not permitted to charge for their services. Hunters must provide own equipment.

I know a couple who think compound bows are weapons of mass destruction and have a range of over a mile. Some people are just stuck on stupid but that's Fairfax for you.

gotta admit, as long as Uncle Phil knows how to use the bow, and homeowner owns the land, and they register with the Association their intentions (like they are doing), aint know reason why they shouldnt be allowed to do it.
The registration is just so "IF" trouble happens, (say, neighbors start complaining or whatever), at least the Association will have a heads-up on the issue, wont be completely blindsided by it.

LOL. Probably some idiot father who wants to teach his son how to bow hunt so that his son can become a "man" like him.
Odds are he's too fat to leave the house, hence the request to do it in his own backyard.
