Question Taking You Bow Abroad
I am in the process of booking an archery holiday in France next April. Has anyone had experience of taking you bow abroad on the cross channel ferries, and getting through customs in France.

I think you will have no problem if you have your license with you.

In France, compound bows are considered as a weapon. But if you can prove you are an archer, there is no problem at all as long as you don't walk in the streets wielding your bow as on a field !...

What license, we don't have them over hear. The only proof that I am an archer is my GNAS membership card.

Bows Abroad
I have taken my bow to Spain on the plane and into France on the boat. The only hassle I had was to persuade EasyJet that a bow was 'sports equipment'.

In Spain and France (as in the UK) the transport of potential weapons is just a matter of common sense. Keep the bow and arrows in a closed case for transport, and your GNAS card is a demonstration of reason to have the equipment. Also if you are going to a specific shoot having the invite/shooting list is useful.

Generally no difference to the UK.

Dave

Sorry I made a mistake using 'license' (which is the word in French). Your membership card will do well!
I hope you will enjoy your journey!
