You need to go to a SSAA (Sporting Shooters Assosciation of Australia) branch or hunting club. They will sit you down and give you a test which will tell you how to make clean kills and so on. After you pass the test you get a licence. You would need to buy your own bow or if others are also hunting with you. You can borrow theirs. Some clubs might have bows available.Im a teen living in aus and i want to get in to bow hunting?
Your Answer:


You should do some research on Bows. This sport can be very expensive, but extremely fun! Mathews Bows are top quality but I would not buy one of this caliber just yet. Mathews cost between $700 to $1500 fully outfitted. I would find an experienced bow hunter (maybe a friend)? to show you the ropes. Siting in the bow and how to shoot it properly. Buy some videos or books on bow and deer hunting.





Hope this helps.


I will do a little more research for you and follow up later.
A club is a great idea. Most have an open shoot where non-members can shoot (for a small fee). Usually you need to bring your own bow, but you may find rentals. And congrats! Bowhunting is a truly honorable sport.
i guess you really should buy a bow if you are gonna take this seriously and maybe just practice a bit before joining a club they tend to be more of a social thing.
