The law on crossbow hunting and bowhunting
Crossbow hunting:
In France, as in many European countries, crossbow hunting is prohibited. This is quite unfortunate because it is quieter than a rifle but more practical than a bow. Especially since Hattila offers many crossbow models that can be used for hunting, particularly the 175-pound models.
La chasse à l'arc :
To practice bowhunting in France, it is necessary to undergo a day of training. For more information, it is easiest to contact a bowhunting association (there are some in almost every department).
