You have my support, In Virginia , a disabled hunter can use a crossbow, and the results of that disablity is not as severe as yours.
Good luck to you......Power in numbers. ~Ben

Hunting ; an act of love for nature guided by the strongest spiritual forces.

I do not mean to sound horible here, if i am not mistaken, when prepared to shoot with a crossbow you raise it as you would a rifle, and are forced to hold it up as you would a rifle as well.

"My shoulder also has nerve and muscle problems not allowing me to hold up a rife or draw a bow. "

I am only looking at this as the state of colorado would. I sent the e-mail anyhow, but i do not recommend you saying that to the state of colorado, otherwise any legal action will be rined on that basis.

Deerhtnr, I use a crossbow because I can no longer hold a compound. A rifle or a shotgun kick fairly good. A crossbow has almost no kick. The limb absorbs most of the kick. Also with the limb being vertical, it helps balance the bow making it easier to hold it. Something like a tight wire walker's pole does. There are also devices to help cock the bow for the hunter, but the hunter still has to get close enough to the game for the kill.

A crossbow for a disabiled hunter just gives this hunter the abillity to bow hunt and enjoy the outdoors. I know that I am in Ontario, and crossbows are premitted anyway for any hunter. But without the crossbow, I and many others could not hunt or be able to enjoy the thrill of hunting.

Sent mine as well...Good luck thl1....

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Dear Mr. Gentile,

It has been brought to my attention that disabled hunters in Colorado are not allowed to use a crossbow to pursue game animals. In my state (NJ) and 33 other states, this practice is allowed when an individual is handicapped. I would ask you to please consider changing the rules to allow such hunters the opportunity to feel normal again. Hunting is a tradition that many of us love deeply. Any person with this “love” should not be denied this opportunity. I ask you for the sake of all hunters that may be held back due to a disability, be allowed that chance to hunt again by means of a crossbow.



Thank you for your time.
