Life / Archery in Poland [6]

Got a response from the embassy.

In Poland a compound bow or traditional bow is not considered a weapon and therefore has no restrictions. A crossbow is considered a weapon and is regulated.

Regarding airline travel, as long as the bow and any other equipment that may be construed as a weapon (according to airline terms which basically ANYTHING) is checked, declared, and contains no products or materials otherwise restricted, it is safe to travel with.

I'm still not set on whether I'll be taking it or not. I may wait till I get there and see how close the range is before deciding.

Thanks for the info. What I might do is wait till I get over there and then have a friend ship my bow. I'm more worried about it getting stolen in transit if I don't check it with my luggage on my initial flight over.
