Be very careful with what you say you have, and what is permitted. Less than 20mW.
Just saying.


Did I say "have"?

Bloody auto-complete, I meant had, I lost it :oops:

Have to admit it sounds like a hassle and all too hard. I have compound bows and the arrow velocity isn’t that much slower than a cross bow these days and as they are not a restricted item (yet anyway) they remain propped up in my study, each with a full quiver of hunting arrows ready to go. No secure storage requirements needed. I’m guessing the M license is just another way for the government to extort more money from us.....but then perhaps I’m just being cynical again....

I owned a few cross bows before they became restricted.
I never had a really expensive or top end cross - but I really fail to understand how / why they are deemed more dangerous than a compound bow??
I have a 65lb bow that I can cycle 3 times faster than a cross, is quieter than a cross, is arguably more accurate than a cross - power wise? Not sure but would be close...just seems a little strange to me.

Totally off topic, apologies DJ, but how did you go with your astronomical telescope Tas?
Did you find anything suitable?

Hi Gaz - I’ve booked in for a night with local astronomy club in April. They are holding the night at the Mt Pleasant radio telescope observatory - so will check a few out that night and decide which way to go. Cheers.

Back on subject .... BLAUCH!!!

Anyone know how to get one in Vic? And does it only crossbows, or does it cover every other controlled weapons there is listed?
