Does any one know of a device on the market for a one armed bow hunter to use to shoot their bow? I have seen some for use if you still have some arm left, but not for someone missing from shoulder down.



Pick up a bow and take a kid hunting.

Patch, a few years ago I saw a fellow with that set up..had a device that would hold the string back after he used his one arm to draw it, using a foot sturup to hold it with his foot...once drawn he would knock an arrow and used a mouth release to shoot...he got pretty dang good with that thing...he's not in the area any more but I check to see if any one knows were he got it...

i believe cabelas had a divice simalur to what tou discribed my brother was going to check it out because of his shoulder dont know if he did might check that out

Two Tales and Holly, I found something called the lock-a-draw, it is a bar that you hold the string back with after using a stirrup to hold the bow for cocking. I have come up with a way for me to shoot my bow, using one arm. I will probably be able to use my other arm to shoot again next year, but don't want to set out this year of hunting, and can't see buying a crossbow for one season. At this point I am pulling enough weight to hunt antelope and deer, but I need to check it out for elk, here in Idaho 40# is the minimum for hunting. We will have to see how it goes. I checked with Cabela's and they will do some research, but aren't sure what they can get. Thank you both for the info. Patch

Thank you all, for your help. I found stuff for partial amputees, and those who can use a cross bow or string holder, but I haven't found what I am able to use and afford, (I have my arm, but just am not able to really use it yet) I took some ideas others had and some I had and put them together. I shot 2-3" group at 30 yd yesterday with broad heads. I am setting up blinds tomorrow after work, and am hunting antelope starting the 15th. I can start lifting a little more than a pound with my right arm, but can't crawl around with it for a while yet so I need to use a blind. Any ideas how far I should set my blinds from a trail? At this point 30 yd is my max shot. Thanks again y'all. Patch

if you feel that 30 yards is your maximum range then set up that far dont rxceed where you feel comfortable shooting from hank k
