I think i have heard before that they don't see the bow as an efficiant killing tool. But i could be wrong, and we all know thats a lie!!

By the way VA that avatar is awesome!

1) The bow has always been regarded as the preferred tool of poachers.
2) The Queens ducks, geese, swans and deer were walking around with arrow, tipped with feild points, through their bodies.
3) It is considered inhuman tothe majority of thosewhich vote (see above).
4) Rather than fix the problems, it was easier to ban bowhunting.

That's my take on the situation...

X3!:D

Their was a spate of incidents , where people and animals had been shot with crossbows and mamed . So rather than ban the Crossbow , they banned hunting with arrows ... which unfortunately brought Bows into the Ban aswell, bravo to Great Britains government[:@]... idiots .
We also have a lot of treehugging animal rights Groups who would love nothing more than to ban hunting of any kind in the Country ... including fishing . The UK government has totally lost control of our roots and history , i cannot see it ever improving either .
Fortunately its ok to Illegally enter the country and then kill all swans and ducks for food , while you apply for asylum .

Unfortunately we are a small Island , that is to scared to stand up to the Parliament .

I'd either leave or become an outlaw.

Like Va said come on over. We'd rather have you bowhunting loving Brits here than the trash we are letting in now. You know everyone here would receive you with open arms.

They look at bowhunting as uneeded cruelty to animals.

I have recently joined the BBA myself , the IBEP is the International Bowhunters Educational Program . Its a course to teach fellow Archers the essentials and basics to go bowhunting , a lot of countries won't allow you to hunt with bow unless you havecertificate or similar paperwork .

Sounds like your already sorted , but incase you are intersted they have another course set for October . Try http://www.britishbowhunters.co.uk/, they have only just set this site up but its getting their now . Its run by the guys from the British Bowhunters Association .
