No permits are required for the importation of archery equipment into New Zealand. We do advise you carry your current hunting/firearms license from North America. Please contact your airline to confirm prohibited goods and archery equipment travel regulations.

Shot distances vary on targeted game species and hunters’ capabilities. Archery hunters can expect shot distances to range from 5 to 50 yards, with some shots reaching 60 to 70 yards. We strongly advise you practice shooting to these distances in diverse terrain and weather conditions to build confidence for in the field.

Unlike archery hunting in North America, it is not common practice to hunt from a tree stand or hunting blind in New Zealand. The preferred method for all big game is to spot and stalk or attract game in with the use of a decoy or game call. Hunting the targeted species during their rutting period provides the greatest advantage for archery hunters and getting into incredibly close quarters.
