You just dont want an answer for you question! We have Hunter Education you now have to complete befor receiving a hunting licens, which I know for a fact takes more time than filling out the forums and a quick physical, If they get a physical at all! But then you already know that.
Alwaws come back to the sympathy card dont you, when in your posts its plain to see your major objective is to cram the Xbow into the regular archery season unrestricted.
There is no ignorance on my part on the Xbow, I may be able to give you a few tips on them!
NO discrimination on my part or anyone elses part either that I have seen , Just belive everything has its place, Guns in gun season, Black powder in its season, get it yet!
Just what Province, State, or Country have you been travailing to to help these people get their paperwork and physicals done to help them get their permits, because I kind of limited to those that live around me.
Yes I want an answer to my question which I have posted many times for you to answer, but you side step it as good as your leader BUsh does. I would not have asked that many times if I did not want the answer. All hunters, able bodied and disabled need to have that hunters education coarse, that is the point, everyone goes through that. Not everyone needs to go though the hassle of getting all the forms filled out to hunt with archery equipment (yes crossbows are archery equipment, history will prove that, long before compounds).
No I am not looking for "sympathy " or am " I playing the sympathy card". Most of the disabled only want to be treated like every one else, not to have to go through tones of paper work to do what the abled body person takes for granted.
Yes you do have "ignorance on my part on the Xbow" and you have proven it by saying that they are like guns. They are not like guns at all. And you have proven that you do "discrimination on my part(your quote)" by agreeing tha the disabled need to go though all that extra paper work will not forcing all the abled body to go though the same.
You would be very surprised the number that I have helpd, I was helping people before that Col court case was even filed. That would include many different States and even helped one person with the CHRA (Canadian Human Rights Act) in a dispute with an archery club in Alberta. They were refusing the crossbow at their range. The showing CHRA the club had to relent and allow the crossbow.
Now I have responded to your questions and accuations, now lets see you answer that question which I have asked many times. IT is a straight forward .... Black & White answer ..... no side stepping needed.

........ I wonder if the abled body person would complain if they were required to get these forms filled out (same costs and time requirements) just to say that they were physically fit to use the vertical archery equipment they choose to use.
Maybe if I worded it differently. Would the abled body archery hunter complain if they would have to get a physical fitness form filled out (with all the same time and costs that the disabled incure) to be able to hunt with archery equip[ment.
No doubt in my mind there would be a major uproar and protests. And I bet you would be at the very top of the list.
