            I am sorry for that it was not my intention. I simply stated how I felt on the issue as others had. Knowing how this group is I should have known better then to state things the way I did. For that I am also sorry. I stepped out and sent pm hopeing it would go back to what it was intended. Some were fine with pm however there some couldnt stop dven after I stepped out.

Stubby, not singling out anyone person but this site has a tendency to get off topic. In a heart beat. No matter the subject.

I am over 60 and have a missing rt. arm for which I use a prosthesis. Bought a crossbow 2 years ago. I have the draw lock letter from the doctor but am unable to actuate the trigger. I considered a chin release but thought better of it because of what the instructor at the bow hunting class said when my son and I took the class last year. He told me that the chin release bows were dangerous and I think he is probably right. I would like to buy an airbow and hunt with it during the entire bow hunting season as I find my barnett cr. bow to be heavy and somewhat difficult to cock. I am on disability due to other problems. I think the NYS bowhunters association are a bunch of elitist snobs and have talked to a member at an outdoor show years back who said to get the dangerous chin release for my bow.

I'd be all in favor of exemptions and inclusion into regular archery season for us old farts.

I want full inclusion for all that want to use crossbow in all of archery season. But to many politics involved
