The legislative session is down to just 2 weeks left. It is imperative all crossbow supporters take the time to put on a final push to have S1699 moved through the Senate Finance Committee and voted on by the full Senate.

Tuesday June 11th the Senate Finance Committee will be taking up S1699B. It is imperative that everyone sends an email and/or calls the members of the finance committee on Monday to ask they vote to “Report S1699B Out Of Committee”.

It is important to contact your own Senators and ask them to support S1699B when it comes to the floor for a vote.

I realize the amount of effort this will take, but if you truly wish to see crossbows become a legal hunting implement in NY for all seasons and all game then we need your help. Although there is no guarantee this will happen, rest assured, if we don’t make the push, it won’t just happen on its own.

When you contact members of the legislature, please let them know if you are a current or former bowhunter, any current or former archery/crossbow affiliation you may have and that you support crossbow regulatory authority being given to the DEC.

If you own a crossbow and travel to other states to hunt with it or if you are a non-resident that would come to NY to hunt if you could use your crossbow please include that as part of your message.

Contact information for all Senators is available online at http://www.nysenate.gov/senators. The Senate Finance Committee members can be found here http://www.nysenate.gov/committee/finance.

The Senate Finance Committee starts at 10 am and can be viewed at the finance committee link above.

Committee members contact information can be found as an uploaded

pdf file.

So the bill passed through the codes comittee and has landed on the senate floor. All we need is passage there, then signed by the governor and its a done deal. Not much further to go!

Awesome!!!

Things have developed very fast in the past 24 hours.
 
Yesterday I attended the Senate Finance Committee meeting where S1699B was reported out and sent to the Rules Committee. Shortly after noon I got word it was placed on the Rules Committee agenda for yesterday. I left Albany around 3 pm, and on the way home I got word it passed Rules and was being sent to the Senate to be voted on.

This morning I woke up and had an email that it is on today's agenda for a floor vote. So we need EVERYONE to send an email or call YOUR Senator this morning and ask that they support S1699B and vote for it when it comes up. You say you did this just a few days ago, well there will be people in opposition making the calls and emails today asking for this to be blocked, so we also need to be heard from TODAY. PLEASE take the time to contact make that contact today.
 
Not sure who your Senator is, follow this link and enter your mailing address to find out. http://www.nysenate.gov/ 
 
Next, be sure to call and email your Assembly member and ask they sign on as a co-sponsor to A283 in the Assembly. I have heard from some that their representative assured them they are singing on.  Well here is the list of who was on the bill as of yesterday; Ryan, Crouch, Palmesano, Stevenson, Tenny, Brindisi, Russell & Lupardo. So if your Assembly members in not listed, send them a reminder to co-sponsor A283.I talked to around a dozen more Assembly people yesterday and asked they co-sponsor A283. We have to keep up the pressure until they actually follow through with this.
 
Not sure who your Assembly member is, follow this link and input your mailing address to find out. http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/?sh=search 
 
I know many feel that their calls have already been done, but please, take the time to call and email again, we are down to the 11th hour and we need to really turn up our efforts.
 
Below is a list of all Senators and Assembly member emails, I am sorry I don't have the list including phone numbers. You can find the phone numbers by going to the Senate and Assembly web pages and search for your legislator.
 
Remember Together We Will Succeed. The together part of this statement is key, We can not do this alone and it will take the effort of EVERYONE that wishes to see a crossbow classified as a legal hunting implement and have the regulatory authority for their use turned over to the DEC, thus paving the way for it's use for all game and during all seasons.
 
Best Regards,

S1699B just passed the Senate by a vote of 51 - 10.
 
We now must move our efforts to the Assembly and A283.
 
Please keep calling and writing your Assemblymember asking they co-sponsor A283. If they sing on, be sure to thank them for their support.
 
Be sure to tell them if you are a current or former bowhunter. It is also beneficial to let them know of any current or former archery/crossbow affiliation you may have and that you support crossbow regulatory authority being given to the DEC.
 
Then call Sheldon Silvers office along with Bob Sweeney. They need to hear from all the crossbow supporters that the time is now.
 
Below is the list of Assembly member emails and the full contact information for Speaker Silver and Assemblyman Sweeney.
 
 
 
Sheldon Silver
518-455-3791
 
Robert Sweeney
518-455-5787
