*********************************

NCBA "Golden Arrow Award:

The "NCBA Golden Arrow Award" was founded by Kenneth Byrd of "Byrd Built

Custom Arrows" in 1996. Nominations are submitted to the NCBA Executive Council

each year and the winner is determined by majority vote of the council. The award is

given to a bowhunter who has been "Physically Challenged" and faces physical

adversities which would normally prevent him/her from participating in the sport of

bowhunting. The recipient may, in fact, NOT be able to bowhunt any more! In many

cases, the recipient has (legitimately) qualified for the special cross-bow permit, but

chose to continue to shoot either a traditional or conventional bow.

Nominations should be submitted to the NCBA President each year no later than January

15th for the previous year's award.
