tughillmcd Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Time is running out for us in 2016. The 2016 legislative session is scheduled to end Thursday, June 16th. Please call Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and request he brings S7005 to the floor for a vote.Please continue to call the office of the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee Chairman Steve Englebright and request he put A9623 on a Committee agenda for a vote so it can be sent to the Assembly floor for a vote. Call today, and every day until June 16th. In 2014 we were successful in getting the crossbow language we have today in the 11th hour by our members and their friends lighting up the phones in Albany. This is a long shot, but with everyone working together, we can make this happen again in 2016.Remember, We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. YOUR CALLS MATTERS. DON'T DELAY! CALL NOW!

Skillet Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I just called again. Why is it only a few of us seem to be active and vocal about this? I know we've got a lot of crossbow advocates on the site, & I hope you're all calling. Time is almost out. Call, it makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 it does make a difference. I'm sure a lot think "I'll do it later or tomorrow." then forget. it only takes a minute. I've got a more bills to follow up on. crossbows should be getting voted in. I don't even own one myself, despite having experience with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Any updates? Doesn't look like it went anywhere to me. Maybe we will see a full update soon. No surprise that some of the same names held it up like the Moose bill. At least they will say they had their names on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 They were all to busy haggling over ethics reform to get anything else done. NYS has one of the most disfunctional governments in the country! But it could pass the safe act in the dead of night with no problem. It all boils down to who wants what passed and when! Total BS!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 They are too busy figuring out a way to ban guns after Orlando to worry about us hunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowguy 1 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Did it not pass? I haven't seen anything either way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Did it not pass? I haven't seen anything either way I checked the nys assembly website and from the information I gathered it never made it to vote. Total BS.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Okay, so this is the 2nd year new crossbow legislation has been introduced just weeks prior to all the new NYS budget discussions. And the 2nd year it has been referred to the Environmental sub-Committee and died there. Pretty sure any legislation not moved or voted on before our lawmakers go on summer recess are purged. At least in my feeble mind there seems to be a trend developing with the timing &/or introduction of these new legislations. There seems to be overwhelming support for updated crossbow laws. The driving force seems to be NYCC. Only a suggestion, but why not prompt our legislators to introduce crossbow reform legislation in September when the new session conveniens??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
