The law on crossbow and bow hunting
Crossbow hunting:
In France, as in many other European countries, hunting with a crossbow is forbidden. Which is a shame, because it's quieter than a rifle and more practical than a bow. Especially since Hattila offers many models of crossbow that can be used for hunting, especially the 175-pound models.
La chasse à l'arc :
To practice bowhunting in France, you need to take a one-day training course. To find out more, it's best to contact a bowhunting association (there are some in practically every département).
