I read an article which said it is allowed to import archery accessories but not aware if the laws have been changed, I would suggest you inquire about the same from District Magistrate or the Police Commissionerate office, Sports administration or state sports federation can also help you in respective matter.

For eg. In Gujarat we do have department which handles all the national, district and city tournaments of all kind sports and usually they appoint a Chairperson for the same who is well versed regarding the rules, if not can definitely suggest directions for further formality.

I bought a Compound Bow (PSE Drive NXT) on eBay and the seller shipped vis US Post and it came through. Had to pay Customs Duty at Post Office here.

Total Customs Duty was about 42% including GST and Cess.

Got letter from Postal Customs asking about Import License etc. I replied that this was for target shooting for personal use and then it cleared.
