HerneTheHunter 50 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'm out of date on this (sold my Barnett 25yrs ago!) but I don't believe you need a licence. I also think it's illegal to hunt with one in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Either way it's legal, you're fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huan72 687 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Its fine to use were you have the land owners permission but as already said, all bow hunting is illegal in this country. Just be careful about backstops etc, some crossbows are exceptionally powerful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
