Closed Legalise bow hunting in the UK

Closed on

Legalise hunting with cross bows and compound bows in the UK. Larger game such as deer can be killed as humanely with a compound bow / cross bow as they can with a rifle or other fire arms. Hunting with a bow has been a tradition from the start of mankind, and it's a shame that we're seeing this tradition die out in the UK due to unnecessary laws. Bow hunting is legal in other parts of the world where hunting is popular, and hunters like myself feel discriminated against because we cannot bow hunt due to these laws all because hunting is not as popular in the UK.
