fin and fur 2 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 does anyone know the uk law on owning a crossbow,its usage, its storage,does it need to be kept in a case on a public highway? Not too sure on the legal requirements for transportation etc, however i am sure it is illegal to bow hunt in the United Kingdom at the present time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordKil 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 You can only use it for targets the legal age in Britain is 18 to own one of any power and i have absolutely no idea about casing it lol. As long as your not shooting folk out the window and its out of the way and sight it should be fine mate. ATB Jordan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SportingShooter 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 As has been said, they are completely illegal to hunt with in the UK, have been for many years. You can by all means shoot Targets with them on land you have permission and target clubs that will accept you. No Firearms or Offensive weapon should be covered uncovered in a public place. The Draw string will have the be uncocked and the bow unloaded. The weapon should be in a cover or case that makes it inoperable while in transit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Depends on who you get i suppose i got charged today for having bb pellets in ma rucksuck cos pals hubby was seen holding the bb gun just a daft plastic one.So we will see if i gets to court or not not a happy bunny today after being lifted for f all.I wasnt even using or holding the pistol so dont count on it i would transport it personally in a secure box locked and as everyone else said make sure its disable and the arrows in a seperate locked case of some sort at least then they cant argue it could have been used in any way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
