Compound bows and the more normal Recurve and long bows are deadly, especially when you use arrows with vicious hunting heads screwed into them. Though plain target arrows could kill you easily enough if they hit something vital or one didn't get to hospital quickly enough. No licence required.
The cheap Chinese bows sold on Ebay (around $160 for a compound bow, $80 for recurve/long bow style) are treated with disdain by serious archers because they aren't as accurate as the more expensive bows costing ten times that amount. But they are just as deadly.
