I'm really tired of this whole issue. We all feel bad for the handicapped persons. The handicapped persons have a right to hunt during archery season. The handicapped, older individuals are the only real persons pushing for legalization of the crossbow. On top of manufacturers to make a buck. The whole concept behind this Bill is allow handicapped persons to hunt during archery seasons. But yet if most handicapped persons would look into it more, they'd find there is away for them to continue using a bow. There are so many devices allowed for use on archery equipment now to enable most anyone to use a bow. Even drawing a bow with your foot & locking it in place with a drawlock device. Much like the X-bow. So if the real reason is to continue hunting in archery season, then why in the heck doesn't handicapped persons try to seek such means to continue using a bow. All 1 has to do is look at all the devices available under NYB's- physically challenged part of website.
There seems to be this big push to attempt, and make NYB look bad. But yet NYB has been helping handicapped persons for YEARS, and they continue to do so. I even offered to get help for RWK. SO WHEN WILL ONES WAKEUP LOOK AT THE TRUE BIG PICTURE FOR THE GOOD OF OUR SPORT, AND NOT SELFISHNESS.
