Action in the Delaware legislature indicates that there is a groundswell of favorable opinion that will allow full inclusion of crossbows to all citizens during any of the seasons that currently allow a long or compound bows Much of this favorable opinion is stimulated by the archaich, restrictive criteria that allows a person with a disability to obtain a permit to hunt with a crossbow.

Listed below are the criteria that the Division accepts for the issuance of special permits to allow disabled hunter to use a crossbow to hunt deer during the archery season in Delaware.

1. Applicant must be fully confined to a wheelchair; or

2. Be a single or double amputee above the elbow, orbe a double amputee below the elbow; or

3. Have a permanent physical disorder which cannot be surgically corrected and prevents the use of an arm or hand; or

5. Is impaired by cardiovascular disease to the extent that functional limitations are classified in severity
as class III or class IV according to standards accepted by the American Heart Association.

Folks?? Is any of this starting to sink in? Asking a double amputee to please step foward and sign the "required" form is the exact reason why the anti-crossbow people's agenda is so terribly wrong, so terribly flawed.

People...Say "no" to narrow, selfish thinking. Say "yes" to choice!

Come on man, you are really starting to go a little nuts. You mean to tell me that double amputee's in that state have no way of signing a legal document? That's hogwash. I'm sure they have designated powers of attorney or other alternative means to sign documents.

In retrospect, I recognize that my attempt to create a metaphor to illustrate the unfairness in the entire issue surrounding disabled persons and the crossbow issue in this particular thread was/is a flawed use of words. I did not intend to expose amputees in a negative light and/or to cause any other person any embarrassment.

These are contentious issues for both sides and I apologize if I offended anybody with my approach towards commentary.

They must have been upset when they read New York states blow through a tube trigger device rule and became angry with themselves for not thinking of it first. And to think all this is to restrict or regulate how someone utilizes their recreation time? :rant:
