A crossbow may be different..but who the wants a crossbow?

It's called rivalry and stirring the pot. You obviously dont like being stirred

im getting my brother to send up his compound bow and was wondering on rules and regulations for things like storage where you can hunt and in goose season are you allowed to shoot geese with a bow
You dont need to worry about special storage requirements. A compound bow is not a "Regulated Weapon" therefore exempt from any special storage. A crossbow may be different..but who the wants a crossbow?
Hunting well you can hunt on either crown land or private property. Private property will require the permission of the landowner
Geese I am about 98% certain you can only legally use a shotgun - no rifles or bows allowed...not only that but the chance of securing an anchoring shot on a goose is pretty difficult with a bow anyway for most people.

ps Be aware that for hunting geese a permit needs to be obtained in the NT.

"you can hunt either crown land" - is this only the dedicated hunting reserves around Darwin, or other areas e.g. national parks? Because a compound bow is not a regulated weapon, is it legal to have it in national parks for hunting declared pest species?

Birds are shot in the air with a bow and you have what is called a flu flu arrows that float back down to the ground and use what is called a judo point or a blunt not broad heads or field tips

FYI national parks are 'no hunting' areas. Just like baseball bats, knives or spear guns, you need a legitimate reason to carry a bow or crossbow in public.

Because you have to fire a crossbow to unload it..
