Hunters push to end Sweden’s ban on bow hunting
Bow hunting was banned in Sweden in the 1930s. Now though, there’s a proposal to follow neighbouring Denmark and bring it back.
Hanna Dittrich Söderman at the Swedish environmental agency tells Radio Sweden why they want to see hunting with bows brought back and answers the critics who say it is inhumane.

Bow hunting requires skill and a lot of practice but it all starts from the proper fit. Even only an inch can make a huge difference when you shoot the arrow.you would want to test bows at the same poundage, let-off, and even draw length. This will help you decide on “the winner” by ensuring that all bows you test are on the same playing field.
