"Here is an answer from Mr. Erdman of the ODWC (Oklahoma state game agency) regarding handgun carry during archery seasons: "Yes, you can carry a pistol for personal defense only. It can not be used in the hunt in any way. If hunting on any federally owned lands check with them first. If you have any other questions please let me know. Thank you."
Your reply caused me to check the online regs and it appears the regs have been updated to reflect the carry laws. This has apparently happened since my last reading of the regs.
