New York Archers Unite!

[SaintHubert]

I know a lot is on our minds lately with our State Government but something has passed that is worth noting. Our State Senate has passed bill S177A that would lower the age to archery hunt from age 14 to age 12. If you truly believe that quality time with our kids is time spent in the woods then I urge you to contact your Assemblyman to support S177A.

I've been writing in support of this for years now and I will again this year thanks for bringing it to my attention

The Bill is now with The Assembly Codes Committee, and is A2021. We need to contact those Committee members to push it through. Start with Assemblyman Joesph Lentol.

Sounds good to me, hope it passes
