I copied and pasted this straight from TPWD Archery regs from this page:
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publicat...al/hunt/means/
Here is the part that interests me:
Longbows, compound bows, or recurved bows:- that are equipped with a device that allows the bow to be locked at full or partial draw are lawful during any season when lawful archery equipment may be used.
I take this to mean that draw locs are legal in archery only season. Assuming I am correct then when did this take place?
