okay i have a brother who is a 100% disable veteran from iraq. he lost all his fingers on his right hand and took damage to the left leg..he want to go bow hunt, not crossbow but bow hunting he is right handed and thats the hurt hand..how do i get something so he can shoot a bow any ideas would so help

I saw this advertisted on a hunting show. The shooter had it modified so he could hold the bow with one hand and release the arrow with his mouth.

Well my first thought is a back tension release would work for him since he does not require the use of fingers. However, all the back tension releases that I am aware of are hand held. Finding one with a strap would work great for him. I bet you could call TRU Ball or some other companies and they would come up with somthing for him. Other than the relase problem, it does not sound as if any of his injuries would stop him from shooting a bow. E-mail Randy Summers at [email protected] and see if he know of anything that out there yet. I am sure there has been something developed already for cases like this. Good luck in your search!

thank you ill sure email him right now

I am a soldier and first let me say thanks to your bro for his sacrifice for this wonderful country. second, with everyone being so supportive of the troops right now, i would bet money that if you wrote to a manufacter of releases and told them the story they would come up with something for him.

yea im trying but i dont get anything back from anybody yet

Does he still have a Thumb?

To the top in case some people missed this thread!

Wish I could help with the release, and I hope youfind something for your brother. You did however inspire me to do my hunting arrows up in some famalier colors this year!
