Default RE: legalizing crossbows

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.
Si if it's a kid that is a little older but a weakling then he doesn't deserve to hunt in your archery season?


Strength training exercises and overal fitness regimen. If a woman can't pull a 40 pound bow, she NEEDS some exercise.
My wife is 5'3 and 115 lbs and works out 5 days a week and is unbelievably strong for her size but she has trouble drawing 40 lbs and couldn't draw it for a while. Some people are weak in those muscles needed for archery though they may have overall body strenth. But againg if it doesn happen to be a particulary weak women then to hell with her she doesn't deserve to hunt in "your" archery season any way. Right?

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.
What if they got two bad shoulders? See above posts.............

Then they need counciling to deal with their psychological issues.
yea, becasue that's how you fix all the problems. Instead of taking the descrimination away and the hurdles that impede success and recovery you just offer them some support

Do they all have the same opportunity? Yes.
I don't even think you believe that. If you do I don't see how you can say it with a straight face.
