With the first Conservation Advisory Board meeting scheduled in two months, the controversial Draw-Loc is highlighted in a MPR story: http://blog.al.com/south-alabama-outdoors/2009/12/jerry_goffs_boxing-related_sho.html This has been presented to the CAB for consideration in the past. If you want to shoot a vertical crossbow, why not just shoot a regular crossbow instead of hybridizing a compound?

Yeah, like about 100 times. The Draw-loc dude is about as annoying as the "slapchop" dude. :rolleyes: But really, I don't see why anyone would use the dang thing. I don't want my bow held at full draw for hours at a time. Maybe it won't hurt a thing at all, but I still don't like the idea.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Why shoot a compound with this thing if you can do the same with a crossbow that is designed and built for this type of shooting?
If you can't draw and shoot a compound without needing a locking brace, don't shoot it. Use a crossbow.
I think anvils should be legalized, too. If you can drop an anvil on a deer's head from a stand, that's a pretty good feat. Maybe truck tire rims, too, on a swinging tripwire.

You can use one of what? The Draw-Loc?
They're prohibited in Alabama on compound bows aren't they? There is no "doctor's note" exemption or anything like that, either.

I sent Draw-Loc an email asking them which states and how many states it is legal in for the average hunter. Will let you know what they say.

I still have my disabled crossbow permit and was advised it covered drawlocks
Interesting. I never knew that, and don't know if the general public knew that.

With crossbows being legal here, it would make sense that the Draw-Loc would fall under a crossbow style of law. Not sure why it wasn't part of the initial change in the law. Good article about Alabama leaving the Draw-Loc out of the legalization for crossbows. Jerry Goff\'s boxing-related shoulder injury launches outdoors career On September 9, 2004, the
Alabama Legislative Council
approved changes to the state’s
hunting laws that legalize the use of
crossbows, turkey decoys and the
use of scopes on muzzleloaders. The
three proposals were recommended
by the Conservation Advisory Board
in May. The Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources
held a public hearing regarding the
issues in August and received more
than 3,000 comments regarding the
proposed regulations. An analysis of
those comments indicates that 78
percent favor the crossbow regulation,
86 percent favor the muzzleloader
regulation, and 77 percent favor the
turkey decoy regulation.
Conservation Commissioner
Barnett Lawley says these regulations
allow new choices for hunters. “They
are options and not mandates,” he
said. “That is why the overwhelming
majority of hunters favor all the
regulations so enthusiastically. Public
input indicates that a vocal minority
opposes the crossbow and turkey
decoy regulations, and virtually none
oppose the muzzleloader regulations.”
Archery deer season opens October
15 in Alabama, with gun season
opening November 20 and closing on
January 31, 2005. Crossbows will be
legal for the entire season.
Turkey season in most counties
opens March 15, 2005 and ends April
30, 2005. The use of non-mechanical
turkey decoys is now legal during the
spring season.
Scopes on muzzleloaders is now
also legal. Alabama has a special
muzzleloader season that runs from
November 15-19, just prior to the
regular gun season.

Alabama’s hunting laws visit www.
