Reasonable Accommodation To Use an Unmodified Crossbow During The Regular Bow Season
A reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may be requested by individuals with disabilities whose needs are not met by the Modified Longbow authorization or Modified Crossbow Special Permit. Certification of disability by a licensed physician is required for a reasonable accommodation for unmodified crossbow use to be granted. Your physician must certify that: “The individual is incapable of holding a bow or operating a mechanical device attached to a legal longbow for drawing, holding, and releasing a bowstring due to a physical disability.” See Form and Instructions to Request a Reasonable Accommodation for an Unmodified Crossbow (PDF). Hunters using an unmodified crossbow during the full bowhunting season under authority of a reasonable accommodation must possess a bowhunting privilege and a certificate of bowhunter education.
