In most states, including mine the limit is 40 pounds but I believe in Louisiana the limit is 30 pounds. Check with a conservationist for your state or look up your conservation site.

Most states have minimum legal draw weights. I believe Kansas is 45 lbs. A well places shot is required with a lighter draw weight won't penetrate bone. Check your states regulations or check with the local game warden. You also might check into a cross bow, a little different but still allowed during archery season if you can prove your injury.

It varies from state to state it is 40 pounds in AR, you need to cousult you local game and fish regs and they will tell you. If I had a bad shoulder I would definitly look at crossbows, they are nearly as fast these days and almost as leagally excepted.
