@AB-C1 Tony Martin DIDN'T use his gun to defend himself, he shot before he could even see who he was shooting at, and continued firing even as they tried to leave the property.

@myoldmate These we’re the facts determined by the jury that heard the evidence.

I don't think you would get into trouble if you only confronted an intruder in your home. Your 'sporting goods' are not on the proscribed list of offensive weapons which cannot be possessed even in a private home. However, if the intruder did not leave, but instead rushed towards you, I think you would get in trouble if you loosed an arrow (even if it didn't hit them). Your actions would have strayed into the use of unreasonable force. A better choice would be to use the bow to keep them at arms length, essentially using it as a staff. Not taking an arrow with you when you grabbed the bow would be a much better option for a legal defence.
