taking a bow and arrow through africa

this is proberly going to come out a bit wierd but here goes.

i am planning to depart to cape town proberly sept 2010 for now and still have a long way to go before im happy with my rig (110csw)

although i do plan to take sufficient food with me and do like my luxurys of having packed/prepared foods,but there is the odd ocasion due to packing space and freezer capabilities an odd rabit/hare or guinefowl would be nice.

its with this that im strongly thinking about bringing my bow and using it along the way and also a fishing rod, but how do the authorities in central africa like this?

i have always travelled south africa with a hand gun as a normal part of my day but now crossing borders is a different matters. when i travelled to uk via heathrow for an archery competition it was clearly marked sporting equipment and when stopped at customs it was no problems,and after a quick check was let go.

has any one ever taken precautions in this matter?

dude I have driven around with air rifles and crossbows and all manner of weaponary with no problems. If u want a good place for info concerning African law, there is a solicitors firm called Breytenbachs. They are always quite helpful with my sometimes 'wayward' line of questioning. They specialise in visa law but they can find out all manner of nonsense.

nice.

thanks Flek,are they in the uk or good old rsa?
