When I got home Sunday afternoon from trout fishing this weekend, I found a letter from the DEP - Fish & Wildlife.
I figured it might be a survey form or something like that.
To my surprise and delight, enclosed was my NJ Crossbow Permit!!! (I remember how some of you on this site doubted that the state "actually" issued the Disabled Hunter Crossbow Permits, and I was beginning to wonder myself, since it had been a while since I sent in the application.)
[up]
My application, along with my Doctor's, Surgeon's, and Occupational Therapist's certifications, copy of the Rx from my Doctor ordering the administering of the required tests, and the required tests results were accepted and approved by the state.
Note to all who saw my other post on this subject and had questions - Along with the permit, it explains that you still are required to have a Bow License, and any Extended Season Bow Permits (if you want them), in addition to the Crossbow Permit - It's similar to that of having the Rifle Permit in addition to a Muzzleloader Permit and Hunting licence.
I am living proof that you can get a NJ Crossbow Permit, ONLY if you follow the instructions exactly as they are printed on the NJF&G form, and send in all of the required documents/Doctor certifications, RX from your Doctor ordering the range of motion/loss of use tests, and the required test results !!!!

Now to figure out where to buy a decent crossbow (since Cabela's doesn't ship to NJ, and I think the store is a zoo!!!) and learn how to shoot it!!! [confused]
I hear that the Excaliber, Fred Bear, Ten Point and Horton Crossbows are excellent and the hand crank (extra add on) can be attached easily for disabled hunter's.
Does anyone have any experience shooting crossbows, and do you have any recommendations for purchasing a fast shooting crossbow?[confused]
Also, any tips on crossbow choices and shooting would be gratly appreciated!!!!
