Default Micro Crossbow for really really small game.

A good project for a father and son or anyone.

Build it and go fly hunting Might be able to knock out a grasshopper.
(I don't endorse killing spiders, pretty important predators).

Sounds fun..cant see the link but..technically.............

Use caution...Crossbows designed to be fired with one hand and crossbows measuring less than 500 mm in length are prohibited in Canada.

(Canadian Firearms Program FAQ)

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.

If you plan to use a bow to hunt, please check provincial hunting regulations for information on hunting licence requirements and restrictions that may apply to the use of bows. For example, some provinces do not allow crossbows for hunting.

Thanks for the info LOST Arrow.

This crossbow is pretty much just a toy. I wonder if the laws would apply?

I don't think the law is applicable. You can go to the Dollar Store and buy more lethal one-hand operated crossbows......you know..... the ones with suction cups or nerf arrows.

Neil................It's obvious you didn't see the video lol. Could be dangerous when used with strike anywhere matches though

We know its a toy but by law...well ...depends on who enforces it
Hunters were charged with Nunchaku's ...rattling antlers...because as law stated they were two hard shape objects tied together that fell under Nunchaku forbidden weapon laws...

just saying ...lol

I have a hard time believing a CO or a cop would be that ignorant to charge someone with having ratteling antlers as a weapon

I do as well but even Canadian Criminal Law/Offences/Weapons Offences code states....

Part 3 of the Schedule, Prohibited Weapons, Former Prohibited Weapons Order, No. 8 states:


2. Any instrument or device commonly known as “nunchaku”, being hard non-flexible sticks, clubs, pipes, or rods linked by a length or lengths of rope, cord, wire or chain, and any similar instrument or device.

by even Canadian law rattiling antlers can be classified as Prohibited...

If one has rattling antlers I suggest not pizzin off any CO or RCMP's ..

lol
