My middle son has autism- He is 21 and will be graduating High school this year. He has a part time job doing piece work( putting tools in packages and boxing them up)
I don't believe it would be safe for him or others to handle a firearm. But I have considered a bow.
I think with supervision( me leaving my bow at home and just he and I hunting would be fine.) Every year since he was little he has allways wanted to hunt with me.
The thing I am not sure about -Can he pass the hunters safty test. (He can read (elementry level) and comprehend well) I am just wondering what the laws are and If I can get a copy of the test to have him practice and most importantly comprehend the test itself. He has been around guns /bows his whole life and has never even once done something dangerious. ( I could(which I wouldn't) leave a gun out and he would never touch it. It will take him a little longer than the few hours they have for the class to pass the test. Not because he won't understand he just can't process info that fast.I have already thought threw hunting situationslike just one bow-- Makeing sure i identify the game /practice /and more practice etc. any imput would be much apprecated
