excuse my french ladies but why in the hell do people keep associating the crossbow with disability. i mean who died and left the decision that crossbows were created for disabled persons? come on crossbows have been around dam near before time itself. i am sorry crossbows were not manufactured for the disabled like wheelchairs were... then why for some reason you all keep saying or acting like the crossbow is a dedicated disability tool. one thing does not have anything to do with the other. thats like saying shotguns are for disabled people. yeah ok whatever. the way i see it is if you are so disabled you can not use a compound then you have no business using a crossbow. i think this whole deal with the disabled only using crossbows is a crock of **** .... heck i could go to my doctor tomorrow and get a signed letter that says i need to use a crossbow. its that easy.
Requirements for disabled in NYS as I know it requires the bow to be operated by breath tube due to physical disability. If your can do more than blow in a tube, you won't get the permit.
