    Q: Are you allowed to bring in Compound Bows into the country?
    Like this: http://www.superbows.com/compoundbows
    As well as razor-bladed arrow tips for hunting purposes?

    Also: has anybody known anyone to actually hunt wildlife in ireland with bows?

    No, because it's illegal...

    Is it really?
    I'm surprised there is actually some law prohibiting this.
    Do you happen to know what law or whatever that stipulates this?

    compounds are ok though!
    Would recomend shooting at a club if you were gonna get one!
    But crossbows you need a licence!

    bows aren't acurate enough to guarentee a clean and fast kill, unlike a rifle, this means the animal could suffer and this is the reason 4 no bow hunting here... don't know the exact law

    There are field shoots in which you shoot either large foam 3D animals or other animal target faces, the targets have scoring zones, a good fun replacement to hunting.

    I think a lot of us know people who have hunted a little on their own land or land near where they live, particularly our country brethren.
    The other posts are correct however. It is illegal and you are limited to shooting 3d targets by the law. Hunting is a strange business in this country
