If it's just for the joy of something different to shoot, there's nothing to stop you joining a shooting club which does archery as well, you would have lots of LEGAL options there. At mine you can even hire stuff to try, (it's cheaper to hire something a few times at £1 a go, than buy something, find you don't like it, and then have it stuck in the back of the cupboard for years). We have crossbows and examples of compound bows etc. The advantage of trying it out at a club is that you have an experienced person to give you some instruction so you don't hurt yourself or anybody else!
