Crossbow Restriction: The use of a crossbow in any MBRB hunt is limited to those 60 years of age and older or those who have a medically documented physical disability which precludes them from using traditional archery equipment or a compound bow. Hunters must also hunt from an elevated stand unless there is a medically-documented reason. Only a limited number of hunts are able to accommodate the use of a blind.
