Except for a 10 to 30 minute brief meeting at the banquet of the Bowhunter Jamboree, there are no membership meetings.  The Executive Board is composed of representatives from around the State.  Board members serve as a link between local archery clubs and the State Association.  The Board meets twice each year – after the Jamboree in June for about 2 hours and at the Mid-Winter Meeting over a weekend in December or January.  We attempt to keep members informed of activities by mailing newsletters.  Bottom line, there are no long, boring, and unproductive meetings that members are required to attend.

Why Become a Member?

Nevada Bow Hunters Association has no meetings, the dues are inexpensive, it offers a variety of archery tournaments, it protects the rights of archery hunters, and it promotes archery safety and education.  Imagine opening the newspaper and reading a small article on a back page titled, “Archery and Archery Hunting in Nevada Eliminated Due to Lack of Interest.”  You many laugh, but if NBHA does not begin recruiting new members and renewing members whom have quit over the years; archery will disappear.  We are not just appealing for money.  We need members who want to participate in shoots, are interested protecting hunting, and will work to make the Association a success.   We will have a much greater influence on hunting decisions made by the Nevada State Wildlife Commission when we represent several thousand archery hunters in Nevada opposed to several hundred archery hunters. 

We need new people who will become officers and board members.  We need fresh ideas on organizing and making improvements.  We need strong backs to set up shoots.  We especially need children and youths because they are the future of archery.
