bow hunting in the uk

[British Shooting Services]

have you noticed how old this thread is ????????????????

Now you've pointed it out ............................................................................

A bow in a skilled presons hands is just as deadly as any rifle, britains have a long history of bow hunting and to have that history removed by hippies is a bit unfortunate. A bow may not be deadly at 200 yards, but that is the appeal of the bow hunt; It is a far more personal and sometimes difficult method of hunting small and medium game to stalk and get within 50 yards of an animal, to smell it and look it in the eye is what we are after, I am a big rifle hunter, but I am also a big bow hunter they are two very different experiences and should not be compared.

Your first post should be an introduction, not to comment on a three year old thread that will do nothing but cause controversy. I really do doubt your motives for being here.

Happy hunt
I often agree with this statement
but some times opening old threads with relevant info can be an assest

I often agree with your way of thinking and especialy on old posts
just time may tell here, It is always good for a new member to read through older posts especially if that is in their interests and field
I do hope this is not one that is intentended to cause controversy as that will not be tolerated as John already has pointed out
eelem
you hav shown your intent
just make yourself known, it is that easy
SD is a good site but does not entertain fools or trouble makers

Well as I tell novice stalkers when they are after Sika deer. There are only two types of deer "quick ones and dead ones"

i think that bow hunting should probably remain banned, unless perhaps you had some form of hunting licence. it definitely takes more practice to become proficient with a bow than a rifle.

I,m not long back from California, and went to the mountains to visit an uncle and aunt of mine....one night there were a few wild turkeys going around the town.....and seemingly they can only be hunted with a bow. My uncle told me there a couple walking around with arrows through their necks.......

A couple of days ago there was an article in Svenskjakt, magazine of the Svenska Jägarareförbundet about bow hunting. The article was quiet positive towards bow hunting.
The article said that of 576 roe shot in Denmark with a bow 5.25% were not found. Its legal to shoot roe with a bow in Denmark and Finland. The fins are talking about allowing bow hunting on red and Caribou. The bow hunting organisations in Norway and Latvia are also looking for permission to bow hunt.
There are strict tests in denmark before you can hunt with a bow.
The Svenska Jägareförbundet is wait for a decision on bow hunting from the Naturvårdsverket (Ministry of Nature) this winter.

bow hunting was not made illegal in the uk but bows were taken off the list of approved weapons by the home office.
using a bow 55lb to 70lb to hunt deer and other game I use a compound bow it is pin point accurate ( i go to other countries for this) it is very humane. most game is shot at quite close range so no mistaking identification of animals .Using a broad head point the arrow passes right through the animal causing massive haemorrage and death. If an animal has started to move you would not chance a shot it must be in the right position for the shot or you don,t shoot.As for it being bad news for deer in the uk if it was made legal it would be governed by the british bow hunters association , and you would have to sit an exam and pass before you could hunt and be proficent with a bow.It is the same in all legal countries around the world.
I have hunted game with rifles of legal caliber and even shot through the heart a deer can still run up to a 120 yards or so before droping same with a bow. In my view a bow in the hands of a trained shooter is just as humane as a rifle.
