It's not an entitlement thing, it's a LEGAL thing. There's this law called the Americans with Disabilities Act, maybe you've heard of it?? "The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications." -- https://www.ada.gov/cguide.htm
That law doesn't apply to a lot of things, e.g. wilderness. It clearly doesn't apply to Crossbows or they'd already be legal everywhere.
The last thing I want to do is keep this thread going but I don't think the ADA applies to hunting and fishing. FWP already has accommodations to allow you to alter your bow as well as hunt from a vehicle. Contact FWP and I'm sure they'll tell you what you can do to modify a bow to work for you.
As they say, "When you find yourself in the bottom of a hole with no way out ... it's time to quit digging!" Put the thread to bed.
I don't disagree with you there. It's all level of ease, right? A recurve is much harder to hunt with than a compound bow, but it was still allowed. This is way before my time, but I'm sure there were a lot of recurve folks fighting against the use of compounds with a lot of the same arguments folks have today against crossbows.
I'm not sure I fully agree with you. A crossbow hunter still needs to bring up the crossbow. Additionally, movement isn't nearly as big of an issue as some of the other things I brought up. Hunters can get away with a lot of movement before an elk will spook. I'm not getting this as much from experience as I am from experts like Corey Jacobsen & Chris Roe (and I'm sure others) who have talked about this extensively.
It's all set by how one defines "archery," right? The items you listed are percussive weapons, rather than using an arrows as a trad bow, compound bow, or crossbow does.
I'll never stop fighting for what I see as my rights...
No disrespect intended, but once again the seemingly entitled attitude confusing a privilege with a right.
We can agree to disagree. I appreciate the discussion, but I believe if special seasons restricting equipment are going to continue, a line needs to be drawn somewhere. I believe keeping archery restricted to drawn and not set bows with a trigger is a fair spot.
I wouldn't say a rifle is a "reasonable accomodation."
I agree hunting itself is a privilege. However, my equal opportunity for access to that privilege is a right under the ADA (see previous post w/ quote from the USDA).

Access to what?
weed is legal in MT without a exemptionSo what's the over/under on crossbows becoming legal in Montana during archery season?
I'm thinking in the 5-10 year range. Similar to Wyoming allowing medical cannabis, it will happen eventually at the rate we are going. By 2030 ereybody in MT and WY be shooting crossbows and smoking weed with a medical exemption of course. MT will require one for the crossbow but not weed. WY will require one for weed but not the crossbow. lol
The rules from each are quite interesting to read. Some interesting ones in there.

Yea I know, I have family in Bozeman. That's why I said MT will require one for the crossbow, but not weed. That's the funny part as they will likely be opposite. Kinda like Wyoming and Colorado when it comes to weed and firecrackers, oppsite.
