Prohibiciones sobre el uso de disparos asistidos por computadora

Explicación Simple

En Míchigan, no puedes usar una computadora para disparar un arco o ballesta a un animal. Esto significa que no está permitido controlar el disparo de lejos, ya sea que el animal esté cerca o lejos.

Es como intentar jugar al fútbol desde tu casa usando un control remoto para mover la pelota. Aunque suene divertido, no es permitido porque no estás en el campo de juego.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un amigo que le ofrece una computadora que puede disparar un arco desde su casa. Juan no puede usar esa computadora para cazar un ciervo, ya que la ley en Míchigan prohíbe este tipo de caza a distancia.
