... what about kids that aren't strong enough to pull a 40 lb bow.
By the time a kid is old enough to get a valid hunting license for deer hunting, he/she should easily be able to pull a 40 pound bow. For small game, there are no legal minimums I'm aware of.
What about women that can't pull a 40 lb bow.
Strength training exercises and overal fitness regimen. If a woman can't pull a 40 pound bow, she NEEDS some exercise.
What about the person that has a bad shoulder and doesn't qualify for "disabled" status...
You just described me to a "T". I switched hands to put the strain on my 'good' shoulder. Other than that, they can get the permit.
...or is to humilated to go through the process of being labeled as "DISABELD"
Then they need counciling to deal with their psychological issues.
Do they all have the same opportunity? Yes.
