Federal license and types of archery
To hold or move the bow across the border and to use it abroad should the federal license, since this is considered a weapon.
Andorra at the moment but there is no federation that brings together existing clubs, why are federal licensing of the Catalan Federation of Archery.
There are two types of licenses:
License not approved.
License approved.
In the first case, not only for having approved the arch and also enjoy federal insurance. The cost is smaller but has fewer advantages.
In the second case, the license approved has the first rights over the right to use the bow in training with other clubs in other countries and conduct competitions in any other country. The cost is higher than non-certified.
The licenses are requested at beginning of each year, since its validity is from January to December. But you can also ask any other month of the year, although the cost is the same and will only be valid until December of that year.
If you want it you have to inform any member of the board to make the request.
There are different types of archery and different places where you can perform and compete.
