Bows in Simi Valley, CA considered firearms? Weird local law, or BS myth?

Hello,
Currently I own a compound bow as a resident in Arizona, but my work may soon require me to have a short stint of work (less than 60 days) in Simi Valley. Given the more restrictive laws regarding firearms, I intend to keep all of them at my residency in AZ, but I wish to at least bring my compound bow with me.
However, upon checking on Simi Valley laws, I noticed some threads purporting that a compound bow is considered a firearm in the locality.
And indeed, when looking at Bassproshop's policy, they indeed refuse to sell bows or archery accessories to Simi Valley residents.
Is this something I need to worry about? Is Bassproshop just pulling it out of their behinds, or is this an actual thing? I can't find any official site mentioning city ordinance that actually mentions the legality of bows in Simi Valley.

In the city of San Jose you must obtain liability insurance and pay a $200 yearly tax stamp for every gun you own. Trust me, you haven't even scratched the surface of retardism that is only know as California.
Ah yes, punish the criminals by... taking it out on the law-abiding, legally-owning citizens. I'm sure that'll work well.
At least it seems even a substantial part of the left don't agree on this policy. When one of the most left-leaning political forums on the internet are collectively against this, you know it's a bridge too far. San Jose to tax gun owners, will confiscate firearms for noncompliance : politics (reddit.com).

Which is why I wouldn't ship a sharp stick to California. Their stupid laws change every fifteen minutes and I refuse to waste my time trying to keep up with them. I feel bad for the decent folks living there but there are planes and trains and automobiles leaving every day.
