Just curious Yuv.. Is it illegal to mess with crossbows or are they just unavailable? You don't say where your from which would be cool if we are gonna help arm you. LOL
I"m from Israel. The law is very unclear about archery. Untill several years ago crossbows where sold openly, but now the custom authorities confiscate CBs being imported through mail or brought on person. There is no legal ground for that, and their formal explanation is "that's how we operate". (realy. that's what they say)
Vertical bows are confiscated or not, depending on the custom officer's mood. Interestingly, there ARE official archery (including CB) clubs, though there are only few dozens archers in the entire country.
It's not clear wheather possession is illegal, especialy since CBs where sold under the same current law.
Confused? so are we...
Bottom line - there are no bussinesses to talk of, and no option for mail orders.
