They might be available in TJ.

My ex Mexican (U.S. raised) boyfriend lives there in el centro and wanted one for his birthday a year ago but I refused because he is 'poor', has been bothered by the cops on too many occasions to count, and has no way to pay a sizeable mordida, should he upset a cop, and I was sick of paying his darn mordidas to haul his sorry hiney outta jail or to prevent him from going there!

BOWS AND ARROWS IN MEXICO


Archery as a target event. Cardon Man, I am an avid bowhunter and also enjoy archery meets. I had a bow range in my back yard for a few years and I knew many people who brought thier bows.. longbows, recurves, and compound ..to Baja. At one time we had archery competitions and used bale targets. I asked every authority in the area at that time and none really thought it was against any laws....as far as they knew. So..did we break some laws we knew nothing about? I seriously doubt it. Because, in addition to inquiring with local authorities, the equipment was always in plain sight going through customs and the military checkpoints. Drew some interest at times, but no complaints. But, as with everything, "It depends on.. who, what, when, and where?"

I realize you are not interested in hunting game with a bow, but here's some info on that subject. I've have not yet hunted wild game with a bow in Mexico, but have extensively done so with rifle and shotgun. I've been told by Sonora hunting outfitters, and others, that it is legal to do so. Obviously you must have a hunting license and comply with local restrictions, a guided hunt, etc.

Some general, but interesting info about archery regulations in several countries, including Mexico:
