Senate Budget Proposal Includes
Full Inclusion Crossbow Language 

We have received over 1800 letters to legislators asking they support bills A479 and S1386 and it is paying off.

I received information overnight that the Senate has included crossbow language that is the same as Senate Bill 1386 as "Part GG" of their budget proposal.

Now is the time to contact your Assemblymember and ask them to support including this language into the Assembly budget proposal. There is only 2 short weeks to have this included and voted on before the April 1st budget deadline. Now is the time to make the call.

Find your legislators and their contact information by putting your address into the link at the NYS Board of Elections Web Page at the Following Link!

2017 Membership

2017 is shaping to be a big year for crossbow inclusion in Albany and we need the membership numbers behind us and the financial resources to be prepared for what lies ahead in the coming months.

I am pleased to say our membership numbers continue to grow. We sent out renewal notices to all of the 2016 membership at the end of last year and many have already returned the renewal invoice along with their 2017 dues. If you have not yet done so, please take the time to renew today. We will be mailing a 2nd notice soon and by renewing before we do that, you will help us save the time, effort and financial resources of sending the additional renewal invoice.
