Crossbows are prohibited in Amistad NRA Hunt Areas - New Park Regulation
Amistad NRA, Del Rio, Texas — New 2009-2010 Hunting Regulations have been posted. New Regulation [36CFR 1.6(g)(2)] The possession or use of crossbows is prohibited in Amistad NRA Hunt Areas, except by those hunters with an upper-limb disability as defined by Texas Parks and Wildlife Regulations (new park regulation). Authorized (upper-limb disability) crossbow hunters in the hunt areas may not walk or move from a stationary position with the bolt loaded in the crossbow (new park regulation).
The new crossbow regulation is a surprise to some and a relief to most traditional and hardcore bowhunters as Texas legislators signed House Bill 963 into law May 23, 2009, allowing crossbows during the archery season in Texas. Since the Park is falls under federal jurisdiction park regulation supersede Texas Parks and Wildlife Regulations.
