[Fjold]

A friend want to do his first African hunt in Namibia with a bow. Can anyone tell me what the regs and rules are for bringing the bow on the plane and into Namibia?

Thanks for any help.

The only country I have heard issues about Bows and arrows was the Netherlands.

No issues with hunting with a bow in Namibia.
The biggest deal is having a PH qualified to guide a bow hunter.

This should help.
