Jerry,
I was an avid bow hunter and loved archery in general. I shot compounds for the first 15 years, and then shot a recurve for about 5 years after that.
I then developed tendonitis in my right wrist, and finally has surgery in 2007. For the first couple of years after that, I just sat at home during bow season. I then got a disability permit for a crossbow. The crossbow allowed me to get back in the woods, and was much more fun than a rifle.
I recently ordered a draw loc from you. This thing is awesome! Most importantly for me, I can cock it with one hand. I was shocked at how quiet it was when I shot it. It is great to shoot a bow again, it is fun. I was able to shoot decent groups at 30 yards in no time.
I did not realize how much I missed shooting a bow. I can now tune things to get good arrow flight. Adjust nock height, adjust the rest, whatever I want to do. I also love being able to use a pin sight again. I can set the pins to whatever yardage that I want. I could not do this with a crossbow scope, and had to remember first crosshair at 20 y, next one 30 y, then 38 y, then 45y. Also the bow is much lighter than a crossbow.
Thanks for a great product!
Braden
Legallity is unknown by many!
I just setup two new Archery Shops in Oregon, Ben's Archery in La Grade and Cascade Outdoors in Klamath Falls, and they both said that no one seems to know that Draw-Loc is legal for the disabled archers. It seems that the Draw-Loc is kind of "kept secret" sort of thing. If you are in Oregon please contat the DNR's Special Permit Dept.There is only 1 state that I am aware of that the Draw-Loc can not be used in some form, Illinois, and they are bringing it before the approprate dept for review. There a number of states that you have to dig around their website or call the DNR for that information.
