Crossbow use during acrchery season?

[PhxHunt]

What would I need to do with the AZGFD to be able to use a crossbow during archery season. I have bad shoulder (have had two surgeries already), and I wanted to find out if I would be eligible to hunt with a crossbow during archery season.

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks

I believe you will need documentation from your Doctor confirming the disability preventing you from pulling your bow back.

You gotta get a note from a doctor stating that your somewhat disabled.

^^^^what they said. Have a friend with a bad arm that did that a couple of years ago. Take the dr's note to game and fish and they give you a sticker or card or both that you carry with you.

Great...Thanks Guys. Appreciate the help. I think it may be time for a check up anyway.

I don't know if it has changed but you needed a 90% disability in one arm a few years back when my ex-wife applied for one. You have to get the form from G&F and have your doctor fill it out.

Thanks Creed. I will look into that. My arms is not that bad....so we will see.

Maybe I will just need to do some PT.

don't forget to add the 30% mental disability - just kiddin -

 

just remember you only need 40 lb draw to archery hunt!

 

and ive seen people switch from right hand to left draw also ! especially with the lighter draw weight

Just this year a family member of mine received G&F permission for a crossbow (during an archery hunt) due to a stroke in 2012.

 

Many injuries we can rehab from and some things are much harder to recover (if at all). I believe G&F has tough standards. This same person above looked into it prior due to a bad shoulder injury and it wasn't approved. I'm sure he now wishes he only had the shoulder injury. Just a thought to ponder....
