Disabled Archer Permits

Question:
I have recently been advised by my doctor to discontinue shooting archery equipment due to my fourth reconstructive shoulder operation. As an avid archery hunter, I am really having a hard time with this! When I stopped into my local archery shop, they informed me of a device that locks the draw cycle back on a compound bow. What would I need to do to be able to use such a device during archery season? Is there a doctor's note or something that I would need, and if so, what would I do with that note?

Answer:
You may qualify for a Disabled Archer Permit if you have written verification from a physician regarding your medical condition (check Section 354(j) in the 2010-2011 Hunting Regulations available online at www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations).
