New York Crossbow Coalition is a pro hunting grassroots organization dedicated to promoting the hunter recruitment and retention opportunities provided by the modern Crossbow.
New York Crossbow Coalition has formed to advocate for the civil rights of all sportsmen and women of New York regardless of age, sex or physical abilities by pursuing the classification of a crossbow as a legal bow for use in any season where archery equipment is permitted, including archery only areas.
For too long, a well organized group, comprised of a minority of hunters in New York, has effectively controlled the discussion surrounding the crossbow, its effectiveness, and its image, thus controlling all aspects of the crossbows legal uses.
The New York Crossbow Coalition is preparing to counter this vocal minority with factual data and give a voice to the thus far silent majority of the sporting community that desires full inclusion of the crossbow in all aspects of archery hunting.

If they keep it up, they won't be ignored. Deer and Deer Hunting website gave them a mention. Congratulations. http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/deer- ... ion-formed

I have met some very good people who shoot crossbows . Just because we shoot our bows horizontally doesn`t make us bad people .
Which came first the crossbow or the compound ?

I'm glad this NY Crossbow Coalition got started. Now we will have a voice to combat the NY Bowhunters, Anti Crossbow stance. Most of what NYB states about the crossbow is pure propoganda. Now we can let the legislators know the truth. The more members, the better our chances of pushing legislation to include the crossbow in archery season for all. We need to be vocal to win.
