*********************************  

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.
