Mondo, I hear ya trying to get a disabilaty permit. I wish you luck. I have had both rotator-cuffs operated on. The top bone (forget its name) filed down and pins added in both shoulders. And I still didn't qualify for a Michigan permit 2 years ago when I was still wrapped up. Racing quads and being older dont mix! I can now shoot a 70 pound compound with no real trouble. So I dropped the permit idea. But my son some how aquired my compound from me so I turned to the CB. Doesn't do me much good. I have a cabin and a couple other places that I hunt in northern Mi. But can't use the CB. BS Michigan laws. That's another story. I still have my Bear recurve. Talk about going from one extream to the other. But at least it's leagle.
