    are crossbows legal in Ireland, if so, do you need a firearms cert for them?

    Yes and yes. But you can't hunt with them as far as I know.

    Please show me where you have seen the relevant legislation that claims that you can't hunt with a crossbow!!!

    I bet you can't because such legislation doesn't exist!!!!!

    As per the charter, stem the hunting talk.

    Its fine to clarify points on bowhunting, but other than that .......... stump.

    MOD



    In other relevent info, crossbows are indeed legal but you do need a licence. Ireland has a former world champion crossbower, and the former team champs AFAIK. The club to contact is Sportslink, you can get the info on http://www.archery.ie/club.html

    Ivan has been touting this around the hunting forum for a long time. Don't be fooled by him.

    It is indeed illegal to hunt with in Ireland with a crossbow.
