Any country I can't take a crossbow to?

We are considering diplomatic jobs in Africa, I have a physical disability in my shoulder and hands and can't pull back a bow.

So a crossbow might work pretty well if I can't bring a rifle.

Still working with the Ambassadors on station to see who will allow what.
 
Ive hunted with one before over there. I would think the biggest issue would be private versus public. Likely legal on most game farms but probably not on government lands or for dangerous game.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
