In 1986, when I first starting hunting post injury, there wasn't a lot of information out there on how to actually do it. As I struggled through the process, I decided to create FMO as an information source for anyone who may come after me searching like I did.

(Above) My newest creation, an aluminum Transport Chair that is designed for one-man operation to easily be able to cross country.

Everybody has different needs when it comes to adaptive equipment. Some you can buy, others you have to have made. Either way, just remember that there is something out there for everyone, if you look hard enough. Below, I've posted the primary pieces of AE that I use in the field, along with my accessible truck (See below). These are the things most people are interested in seeing.

It's 2009, and I'll be in the process of updating the site with newer adaptations that I use along with the most recent hunts I go on. It's going to be a great year. I've got a lot of trips planned and some new equipment like a transport chair in the works to test out later this fall. I can't wait. Stay tuned.

This site is devoted to forging a new path to the mighty outside. Disabled recreation is an obscure but growing sport so come follow me as I show you the way to fun in the field.

Most everything I have so far centers around these two basis adaptations. The first, right, is a set of velcro shoulder straps that lock me in an upright position so I can hold a weapon in my hands without falling on my face.

The newest set of straps I use are elevated to keep the strap high across my chest. I also use an aluminum bar as a brace across the back in order to prevent the risers from falling in on one another whenever I put weight on them.

Below is another custom device that fits around the back of my hand and index finger for the obvious reason of pulling the trigger, and any orthotics doctor can reproduce it.
