Crossbow Travel

[Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS]

hey all you bow hunters, moreso, crossbow hunters

i have a client coming to hunt with a crossbow and i just want to be a bit more informed as to any new or funny regulations with regards to the travelling with a crossbow
he is coming from USA to south africa
i assume it is like a compound bow, checked in as normal luggage etc
what about the bolts/arrows etc anything unusual

any info would be helpful

looking forward

If he is flying through Amsterdam, you are not to have broadheads, target points or some knives period in your case or luggage? I shipped mine to my hunting partner in Sweden, so he could transport them to Africa for me. Other than that no problems for me, bow case was setting in oversize luggage area in JoBerg.

You're not allowed to bring broadheads, target points, or knives in your bag or luggage if he's travelling via Amsterdam? I sent mine to my Swedish hunting companion so he could take them to Africa on my behalf. Aside from that, I had no issues; my bow case was stored in Joerg's large luggage section.
