Would someone please shed some light on the correct procedure to try to get your state to become crossbow friendly. I am sure others would also appreciate some of the proper steps to begin. I have sent an e-mail to the commissioner here. I would suspect that is a start, but have not heard from him yet. All information would be appreciated.

I don't know if you are a member of the American Crossbow Federation. They publish the Horizontal Bowhunter, P.O. Box 251, 20 NE 9th Avenue, Glenwood, Minnesota 56334. Your contact there is Daniel James Hendricks. 320 634 3660.  The magazine is published four times per year and is packed with good information and contacts.  Laura is just wonderful and full of energy.  

If Laura is an example it is because she is so full of energy.  I don't know if there is any great secret in getting pro-crossbow message out to legislators.  It takes a willingness to learn the issues, get on message, and write and talk to legislators.  It helps if you can convince others to join you in this effort or join a state crossbow association since no one can to it all by themselves. The more people working with you, the more fun this process becomes.

Thank you very much. Right now I seem to be by myself. I think I need to become a member of American Crossbow Federation and see if any of the Kentucky members there are interested in getting full inclusion. There are only four including me here that have given their state location that I can find on the members page;
