Default Double Arm Amputee Hunter

I joined this message board to try to find some help for my son who is a double arm amputee hunter. He manages to successfully gun hunt with the use of prosthetics and a tripod; however, having been a champion archer prior to his injuries, his dream is to find some way to be able to use a real bare bow again with the possible development of some type of quick release system. His prosthetics would need to be modified, but that is a minor problem. I am proud to report that since his accident in July of 1999, he finally began deer hunting this past season. He killed a deer about the 3rd time out. What a thrill for him. Deer hunting is his first love, and I would appreciate any information anyone could muster or any ideas anyone might have to offer him some hope of returning to archery without having to resort to a crossbow. He owns a crossbow, but he just doesn' t like using it. He feels it takes the sport out of the feat. Thanks for any info/help anyone can offer.
