Legalise Bow Hunting in the UK again! & to increase air rifles to 20 joules.
The Issue
The right to hunt for meat to feed my family (on land with permission from landowner) with a certificate of approval of archery skills from a local club & NOT for profit, as written in the Magna Carta.
Bow hunting differs markedly from hunting with firearms, as distance between hunter and prey must be much shorter to ensure a humane kill. The skills and practices of bow hunting, therefore, emphasize a very close approach to the prey, whether by still hunting, stalking, or waiting in a blind or tree stand. In many countries, including much of the United States, bow hunting for large and small game is legal. Bow hunters generally enjoy longer seasons than are allowed with other forms of hunting such as black powder, shotgun, or rifle.
make it easier to purchase Guns from French gun stores.
"France. Since September 2013, air rifles with muzzle energy less than 20 joules (14 ft-lbs) can be acquired by persons over age 18 and no licence is required"
