    This comes up on here frequently enough. I'm always surprised to see that people automatically think it ok before being corrected. I don't get that at all.

    what dont you get i was asking about something that i didnt know about whats wrong with that you will never know if you dont ask did you never here that saying before. i seen clips on you tube of lads in america doing it and was only asking did any one over here hunt with bows that other chap was kind enough to inform me that it was illegal so that was all i needed to know. i didnt need you throwing you 2 pence worth in being a smart arse.

    It probably doesn't help that many of the Fishing and Shooting stores around the coutnry have a few bows and a selection of cheap arrows on sale. Many of their customers may assume that bow hunting is okay.

    I'm not having a go at you so don't get uppity at me. I'm just saying I'm surprised that so many people assume it legal automatically rather than the other way around is all.

    thats fair enough cookie but as the grayson says a lot of gun shops and fishing shops are selling bows and exces. and people like myself are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. so dont be to suprised at people inquiring.
