ninepointer Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 The answer is 100% NO YOU DO NOT NEED A P.A.L. TO PURCHASE, OWN, USE OR HUNT WITH A CROSSBOW. The only regulated crossbows are pistol crossbows, which are prohibited. From the RCMP's Canadian Firearms Centre website: Q5. Do the licensing and registration requirements apply to bows? A5. Crossbows that can be aimed and fired with one hand and crossbows with an overall length of 500 mm or less are prohibited. You cannot lawfully possess or acquire a prohibited crossbow. You do not need a valid licence or registration certificate to possess any other type of bow, including a crossbow that is longer than 500 mm and that requires the use of both hands. Criminal Code provisions making it an offence to acquire a crossbow without a valid licence were never brought into force. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/faq/index-eng.htm#a4a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
