Bowhunters, we’re living during one of the most pivotal times for our sport. The thrill of the hunt, the precision of a drawn bow, and the camaraderie of a shared passion deserve to flourish—right here in Minnesota. But to protect and strengthen bowhunting, our community needs something more. We need a movement.
That’s why the Minnesota Bowhunters Association (MNBOW) was born. This isn’t just another organization. It’s a rallying cry for those who care about bowhunting’s future. We’re building a community where your voice matters, your passion is celebrated, and your needs guide the way. Together, we can make Minnesota’s bowhunting landscape more dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
If you’ve been searching for a way to make a real difference, keep reading. Here’s why the MNBOW Movement is worth your arrow.
A Community That Puts Bowhunters First
MNBOW was created not just to represent Minnesota’s bowhunters, but to empower them. Too often, hunters feel left out of conversations about their own sport. Bowhunters deserve an organization that listens, takes action, and promotes unity within the community—and that’s exactly what MNBOW is here to do.
Why Build an Inclusive Community?
Hunting is more than a sport; it’s a tradition, a lifestyle, and for many Minnesotans, a way to feel closer to nature. But the hunting community is changing. We believe in an inclusive approach—everyone who loves bowhunting and archery should feel welcome and valued. Regardless of your skill level or background, MNBOW will ensure you have a place to belong.
When communities come together, amazing things happen. Imagine sharing knowledge, experiences, and opportunities with fellow hunters who truly understand the sport's challenges and joys. That’s the spirit behind MNBOW.
Key Goals for Our Community
- Give you, our members a voice on important matters.
- Celebrate diversity among hunters—from first-timers to seasoned experts.
- Support educational programs for young and aspiring bowhunters.
- Host a state event where members can connect, learn, and grow.
Empowering You to Drive Change
What makes MNBOW unique? It’s simple. We don’t make decisions without you. Unlike traditional associations, which often operate behind closed doors, we believe in a transparent, member-driven approach. Your opinions shape our priorities.
When policies, practices, or changes to Minnesota’s bowhunting laws are on the table, we’ll poll our members. Every vote counts. Every voice matters. Through meaningful engagement, we’ll ensure that decisions reflect the actual needs of Minnesota’s bowhunting community—not just the loudest or most powerful groups.
Examples of Topics You’ll Vote On:
- Wildlife management practices affecting bowhunting.
- Bowhunting season dates and regulations.
- Conservation initiatives to ensure healthy wildlife populations.
- Support for Minnesota’s growing archery industry.
- Crossbows Usage
With MNBOW, you’re not just joining an organization—you’re becoming a changemaker for Minnesota bowhunters and archers.
