The antis (NJARA) are preparing to do battle with a high profile campaign against the 150' bow perimeter bill. I urge you to join in the NJOA Action Alert so you will be best able to to contact your legislators and stay informed. Sign up under Action E List (at bottom of webpage at the link that follows.) Also click on the link to "Tell A Friend" and ask others to sign up.

The link below will take you to their new initiative to portray the outdoor community as radical. They have a navigation bar dedicated to assinating the NJOA Chairman's character with half-truths and misinformation. (See "Who's Behind These Bills.") This website is a must read for all sportsmen.

Below is a clip from their webpage:


Which Trenton Legislation Would Permit Bow Hunting Near Homes?

Assembly Bill A595 (sponsored by Assemblypersons John Burzichelli (D-District 3), Alison Littell McHose (R-District 24), and Nelson Albano (D-District 1), and Senate Bill S976 sponsored by Marcia Karrow, (R- District 23), reduces the safety buffer zone surrounding homes from 450 feet to a mere 151 feet for bowhunters–without the property owner's permission.

By a vote of 66-11, New Jersey’s General Assembly approved this fast-track measure on March 16, 2009. See breakdown below.

Even as arrows striking both humans and houses in New York are in the news, A 595/S976 will move razor-tipped broadhead arrows (product names: "Rage," "Nightmare," "Grim Reaper," "After Shock," and "Wac 'Em") 299 feet closer to our homes and families. The New Jersey Senate is scheduled to vote on the Safety Buffer Reduction Bill in May.

I understand that there is a billboard up on Rt.28 in Dunellen from the http://www.safebackyards.com/ people.

This is not a NJ thing either, it's a nationwide effort because it's a "hunting" bill.

Be prepared to fight if you support the perimeter bow bill.

Reading all of the propaganda on that website is all the motivation anyone should need to take action in support of this bill.[up]

The billboard and website are only the beginning of what looks like a full on assault of this bill. The anits are not happy after having been defeated with the passage of Sunday Bow.

Thanks Ghillie. Like I said up top, this is a national campaign to stop a "hunting" bill.

Really? That's right near my house. I usually don't ride that part of 31, I had no idea. This is reminding me a lot of the bear hunt when these national anti organizations came in and started putting up billboards and newspaper, radio and tv ads. All the more reason why hunters, trappers and fishermen need to band together. The anti's don't care whether you use a gun, compound bow or cross bow. They want it all abolished. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Sign up with the NJOA to stay informed and keep in touch with your representatives. Educate them by pointing out the lies that these anti groups spread and show them that NJ residents, the people that actually live, vote and pay taxes here, are in favor of this legislation.
