LATEST NEWS from AUSBOW

NOTICE TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMERS

From 1 June 2006 crossbows are now classified as "dangerous articles". While there is no requirement for a licence, the manufacture, sale, distribution, supply or possession of crossbows requires "lawful purpose".
Dealers are now required to determine whether a prospective customer has lawful excuse. The regulations do not define what constitutes lawful excuse, however membership of an archery or shooting organisation is acceptable as is legitimate hunting. Ausbow Industries will maintain a voluntary sales register and will include the stated purpose as indicated by customers.

New legislation concerning crossbows is being proposed and introduced in most Australian States. In most eastern Australian states, crossbows have been moved from being CONTROLLED WEAPONS to now being PROHIBITED WEAPONS. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED! This means that you now need a permit or a licence.

The new Victorian Legislation regarding crossbows comes into effect on 1 July 2004. This will require all crossbow owners/shooters to apply for permission and pay a fee. MEMBERS OF APPROVED SPORTING BODIES (including CROSSBOW AUSTRALIA) WILL BE EXEMPT FROM FEES BUT YOU MUST APPLY FOR EXEMPTION. Read our news section for the latest information.
