I started using the cross bow be cause I can no longer hold a steady shot with the compound. I have neck back and arm and shoulder injurys from landscaping truck driving and accidents. I'm 52 years old and can't walk more than a half mile or so in the woods before my ankle gives me trouble to the point that I walk with great difficulty for the next two or three days. I have disabeled plates on my motorcycle to and am tired of having people tell me that I shouldn't be allowed to ride. Any more I just get agravated having to explaine. I mean no offence to any one. Just venting.
i understand where you are coming from..most PEOPLE dont like the disabled,even if they really are..
i have friend who got agent orange in vietnam..i was lucky, i did not..
he bought a motorcycle, same as you..he is sick but like you, will not just lay there and die..so, he rides bike..
you should hear people that bad mouth him,vet too..they even go as far as taking picture of him and sending it into the military,trying to get his benefits cancelled..
if you are young like 52, most hate you, i know, i have many of my former workers tell me the same..some are totally disabled and cant pull a bow ,others are disabled ,but can pull a bow but tell doctor they cant..
it does not matter if you are disabled or making it bad so you can get disabled permit..most people HATE disabled..
sadly, its way world is now..when president bush started getting people off welfare,what did they do..they claimed they are DISABLED..all it did was shift welfare over to the disabled area..
like you, most likely you cant pull a bow but people will put you in that area with others that are faking it for disabled permit..
most i see can pull bow back but why should they when they can get disabled permit..others, like yourself,get a bad rap and are thrown in with the others that are faking it..
sorry i got off topic again, i am trying
