Steubenville, OH -- A disabled hunter is challenging West Virginia's crossbow hunting ban. Peter Cuffaro of Wheeling claims the regulation violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Cuffaro sent a complaint to the U-S Department of Justice in June,

naming the state's Division of Natural Resources -- which regulates

hunting. Cuffaro is paralyzed from the chest down after a diving

accident in 1983. He can move his hands and arms but must use a

wheelchair. He says a crossbow -- which is held horizontally

compared to the traditional vertical bow -- would be easier for him

and other disabled hunters to use. But West Virginia law prohibits

using crossbows for hunting.
