RE: Question for WI Bowhunters
I like it just the way it is. It gives elderly or the handicapped a chance to enjoy what many of us take for granted.
A few years ago, a guy I worked with lost his leg due to bad circulation. So not only having to stop his career, a lot of outdoors activities were seized in his mind. He was very depressed to the point where suicide became a concern. A bunch of us at work, pitched in and bought him a crossbow with the all bells and whistles. It got him back in the woods. He shot a couple deer with it. After getting accustomed to his new leg, he went back to his compound and continues to hunt with the compound today. I truly believe this opportunity saved his life as well as his mental being.
I see no reason why someone other than the elderly or the handicapped should be allowed to use the crossbow.
