Did NY open crossbow for entire bow season for over 60 ?

[luberhill]

I don’t see a thing saying that but was told at a local gun shop it’s true ??

Yes it's true , you have to get your Doctor to sign off ! I have mine - unmodified - and hunted the entire Bow Season last year with my Crossbow !  https://dec.ny.gov/regulatory/permits-licenses/fish-wildlife-plant/special-licenses/modified-crossbow-permit

No that’s not what they said , I already have that

they said if you are 60 or older you can use crossbow during the entire season , nothing to do with disability , that doesn’t matter how old you are

Senator Mannion's bill, S5802 that allows those 60 & over to use a crossbow full season passed the Senate yesterday by a margin of 59-3. Although its not the bill we have been pushing, it's the first sign of movement since 2014 and is movement in the positive direction.

The Woerner "Same-As" bill A6815 is stalled in the Assembly. There are people working hard within the Assembly to get it to the floor for a vote. If you look at the margin of support in the Senate, it should easily pass if it's put up for a vote.

Does it have to go thru more approvals before its law

Me thinks that you are referring to last year's vote, from June 9th, 2023, when the Senate passed the bill 59-3 but it never made it to the Assembly floor. The same thing is happening this year, with the most recent floor vote 60-1 on June 4th, 2024. It's been passed in Senate, sent to the Assembly, and returned at least once already this year.

Just goes to show...same $hit, different day.

That sucks, I was hoping it was true.

See below and thoughts ?

Even if it made it through the Assembly, it will likely sit on the governor desk without being signed.
