Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Relief of Disability

I had been convicted of felony sale of a controlled substance years ago to a nitwit I thought I was helping out, but who turned out to be a junkie. I used to enjoy hunting but now cannot possess a firearm. Every year I call about relief of disability to the ATF only to find that no funds have been approved by congress. Is there any way to have these rights restored? Can I legally possess a compound bow for hunting?
