I think this was discussed briefly on BOWSITE's Texas Forum sometime last year? I really don't see a problem with it, especially since I can't find anything in the game guide against it -- looked several times since the Bowsite discussions.
As I mentioned before, I know a hunter who's legally blind and who team-hunts with his brother using a rifle. The 'sighted brother' does the spotting and sighting of the firearm (they use an extended eye relief scope on 'high' iron-sighter mounts) and the non-sighted brother does the actual shooting. These two guys are safe very ethical hunters.
With respect to bowhunting, One brother is a long time bowhunter, and attended our IBEP Course last year. The other will probably take it this summer. I don't know if he plans on shooting a compound or crossbow (oops, I used the word CROSSBOW.... I'm in trouble now), in any case, I'll support it.
FYI - I've asked the TPW Hunter Ed folks about it and they fully supported the idea.
