Until recently you could not use a crossbow at all in MI unless you had a medical disability of the upper body. Recently they have changed that to allow anyone over age 12 to use one during firearms season.

Current wording for disabled hunter crossbow use is A person with a permanent minimum 80 percent disability, in combination or individual impairment, of a hand, elbow or shoulder, may apply for a crossbow permit.

A person with a permanent disability who has the full use of only one arm may apply for a modified bow permit. This permit allows modifications to a compound bow, including the addition of an overdraw lock device. This modification may not convert a compound bow into a crossbow.

I am trying to get them to move down here or a least stay down here during the winters. He is 73 years old.

interesting.

in my case it makes little difference, as i can NO longer "draw a bow" at all, as a result of a ruptured tendon in my right arm, that 2 years after the fall still hasn't healed. (my orthopedist "fixed me up" with a notarized letter that works in EVERY state, as "upper body" disabled.)

your dad should "have a chat with" HIS physician about this subject.
