No in terms of target practice its ok , as far as i know there is a few active archery clubs on te island that organise events and competitions and you can as well practice archery.

Now i have no idea if the type of crossbow you have is the same with the ones they use for archery in Cyprus and so on .

You dont own a shotgun ? You just enjoy hunting with a crossbow?

i dont own one over here no , i have used them before but much prefer the crossbow , the crossbow is just a whole other level , i personally believe it brings a vast new amount of skill needed ,
I was told it might help to go ask at a police station for info , do you think this would help and , is there one that would be better than the others ?

My friend, at whichever police station you end up asking for info on crossbow hunting in Cyprus, prepare not to be taken seriously, and maybe even laughed at by some. Friendly people, I don't say, but that is the mentality of the cypriot.
:)
Possible scenario: you sitting there for more than half an hour watching them making phonecalls here and there to find an answer to your question

Dear scottl,

unfortunately you dont have that many options here. The problem isn't hunting with a bow or crossbow by people like you who have been brought up with strict hunting rules, but rather the local uneducated average Joe who doesn't respect the laws and hunting rules.

A bow or crossbow falls under the silent weapons. It is mainly used abroad for hunting wild boars, roe deer, (other types such as whitetail, mule deer in the US) whilst I have seen people use it for rabbit hunting, hare hunting, pheasant hunting and even quail hunting. However, such a silent weapon in Cyprus would be a devastating weapon in the hands of pouchers, yet alone in the hands of organised crime gangs.

There are very few deer in Cyprus of the Dama-Dama kind and a vary rare Mouflon found only in Cyprus, both of which are strictly protected as heritage. Such a weapon in Cyprus would only give the means to pouchers to exterminate the few wild deer and mouflons left.

On the other hand there is an archers club in Cyprus where you may practise and participate in local tournaments for arching. I will be more than happy to provide you with contact information for the archers club where you may find more details for this sport.

Kind Regards

Good morning,

We have no crossbow competitions in Cyprus and yes it's illegal to own one.
Recurve bows are allowed and they can only used for competition purposes

If you are into athletic archery there are clubs you can join.
