Chemung County CROSSBOW RESOLUTION
Whereas, crossbows have been used by men for hunting and war since early times
Whereas, not everyone is physically able to hunt with a long bow or a compound bow
Whereas, most states in the eastern USA, have a archery season for crossbow hunting, during the regular season
Whereas, NYS does NOT have a crossbow archery season for Senior Citizens, or the physically challenged archery hunters
Therefore, be it resolved that the New York state conservation Council, put in a request to the NYS DEC, to enact a regulation or law to allow seniors or physically challenged hunters, to hunt with a bow during the regular Archery season.
