Default RE: I Lost use of left hand need help bowhunting?

I don't know the extent of your injury so I'll make suggestions on assumptions. Many states offer a handicapped permit to those in need for use of a crossbow. There is also a device called a Draw Loc which locks a compound bow at full draw. You could draw the bow with your right hand and feet, assuming you can hold a bow at all without the weight of the bows poundage pulling against you.

You can also check with many handicapped archery organizations for suggestions from other archers in your same position. I have also seen, though difficult many successful archers who draw their bows using one hand and a tab in their teeth. That to me is very impressive. One particular story appeared in Bowhunter Magazine where a one armed youngster hunted this way with a compound rather than settling for a crossbow.

Good luck in your endeavor and I apologize I couldn't assist you further.

The teeth deal is called a mouth tab.

There is a show called Kentucky Afield and the host uses one.

I am not sure of the web site if any but it is on KET Sunday evening.

I will try to post the info for you tomorow night.
