Given your disability, I have absolutley no problem with you or anyone else who is unable to shoot a compound, recurve or long bow because of a disability being allowed to use a crossbow in the archery season. However , I disagree with the second and third sentences quoted above. If the only difference between hunting with a crossbow and hunting with a long bow (and a recurve or compound, presumably) is that you don't have to draw before taking a shot, then, as long as you are physically able to draw one, why not just use a long bow, recurve or compound and forget about the cross bow until rifle season when you can use it if you want to. Sorry, HunterDave, I don't buy it.
I voted NO.
