there legal to have and practice with any kind of target (Except animals or humans lol) . just your not to carry them in public and you must be over 18 to have. you can only use them on private property and have permission of the land owner.

Then I'm guessing you may need to look for a specialist seller?

Or have you tried asking anyone that is involved in an archery club?

Appropriately named "Kilmore" Archery Centre is a great wee shop that should stock what you need:

Kilmore Archery Centre
17 Bridge Road
Kilmore
LURGAN
BT67 9LA

Just phone ahead because its over a year since I was down last and I see the link on this forum topic doesn't lead there anymore:
