Dep, The hangnail comment was tongue in cheek,ok? You stated that you need an upper disability to get a x-bow permit in Texas,right.How many of the guys that have them get them and don't really need them.It happens all the time,a guy goes to his doctor and says I'm haveing problems pulling back my bow for whatever reason they come up with.The unsuspecting Doc writes them a scrip so they can get a permit.

I've had four back surgeries do you think I could get a permit in Texas?I have a permanent 50% disability that involves my upper body.You know what? I don't need to use a X-bow, I can still shoot a compound with no problem.Even with titanum cages in my back.Do you understand where I'm coming from?

Your totally wrong here.If I let go of the string (fingers or release) the arrow shoots,right? I have to hold the string back,myself it doesn't stay back with out me holding it.You can try and compare the trigger on a release to the trigger on a X-bow, but the argument doesnt hold water.

If I bring my arm forward with out touching off the release the string will also come forward, right?

After cocking a X-bow what happens when you remove your arm from the cocking device? That's right absolutely nothing.It remains cocked all day.

I'll say this again. I think people should be allowed to hunt with X-bows,just not in the archery only seasons.
