Thanks for checking out Minnesota’s newest organization for bowhunting enthusiasts—Minnesota Bowhunters, or MNBOW (pronounced "minn-bow"). If you're a bowhunter or archery enthusiast in the state, this is the community you've been waiting for. Bowhunters finally have a collective voice, and your input will shape the future of hunting in Minnesota.
Why MNBOW is Different
MNBOW exists because we know bowhunters deserve more than just a generic membership experience—we deserve a seat at the table. Unlike other organizations, MNBOW emphasizes member-driven decision-making. When we take a stand on an issue, whether it's a new regulation or the ongoing debate over crossbow use, every voice counts. That means you, as a member, vote on all key issues.
This isn’t just an association; it’s a unified, democratic force for bowhunters across Minnesota. MNBOW brings power to the people who matter most—you, the bowhunting community.
Crossbow Debate? You Decide. We Act.
One issue that divides many bowhunters is the use of crossbows during archery season. At MNBOW, we believe this decision shouldn’t be made behind closed doors but by those directly affected. As a MNBOW member, you’ll vote on where we stand on crossbow policies and other important subjects. You have the chance to shape regulations, ensure the longevity of our sport, and maintain the traditions of bowhunting in our state. We will use your voice to push legislation and sway partner views and positions.
Membership Benefits
Becoming a member of MNBOW isn’t just about belonging to a group—it’s about having an impact. Here’s what you’ll gain when you join:
1. A Voice in the Organization
MNBOW is powered by its members, and that means your opinions matter. Every member gets to vote on issues, participate in discussions, and help steer the ship. No decision is made without the input of our community.
