BILL NUMBER:S3244 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the discharge of a longbow over water in certain instances PURPOSE: To allow the safe discharge of a longbow over water by a person bow fishing if no dwelling, house, public structure, livestock or person is situated in the line of discharge less than 500 feet from the point of discharge. JUSTIFICATION: People from all over the state, nation and world are drawn to New York State for its rich outdoor recreation. This legislation would permit those who enjoy bow fishing to conduct their recreation with more flexibility and in a manner that is both safe and enjoyable. The Department of Environmental Conservation recognizes the merit of reducing the current 500 foot requirement for the use of longbows and has identified it as an item to be amended in the Environmental Conversation Law. As the arrow is ultimately discharged directly into the water in close proximity to the archer, the nature of the sport already limits the possibility of accidental targets.
