Why Every Bowhunter in Minnesota Should Join MNBOW

If you’re passionate about bowhunting, nothing beats the thrill of drawing a bow, testing your skills, and connecting with the outdoors. But as a bowhunter in Minnesota, you might wonder why you should join an organization like MNBOW. Why spend $40 on something so new, when there are plenty of other conservation groups out there?

The answer is simple. If you love bowhunting and want to see the sport thrive in Minnesota, isn’t it worth the price of a meal at your favorite fast-food joint to support an organization dedicated solely to bowhunters like you?

MNBOW was created to fill a crucial gap for bowhunters in our state. While there are fantastic conservation groups to support, Minnesota’s bowhunting community deserves its own organization—one that amplifies bowhunters’ voices, fosters growth in the sport, and builds excitement for the future of archery.

Here’s why joining MNBOW is more than just a membership. It’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger, something built by and for Minnesota bowhunters.

A Dedicated Organization for Bowhunters

Bowhunting is more than just a pastime; it’s a tradition, a skill, and a way of life. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been an organization specifically dedicated to bowhunters in Minnesota for several years now.

MNBOW was created to change that. Our mission is to unite bowhunters from every corner of the state. We’re not just about memberships—we’re about building a community.

When you join MNBOW, you’re helping create a space where bowhunters can come together to achieve meaningful goals, address the challenges facing the sport, and celebrate everything that makes bowhunting special.

Building a Vibrant Community

At MNBOW, we believe in the power of collaboration. Our aim is to give Minnesota’s bowhunters a platform to share their ideas, set priorities, and shape the future of bowhunting in our state.

Open and Inclusive: Forget rigid structures and long-term boards. At MNBOW, members serve as advisors who guide the direction of the organization based on what the community needs.
No Barriers: We’ve eliminated in-person meetings to make it easier for bowhunters like you to have a voice without sacrificing time in your busy schedule.
Forward Thinking: MNBOW is an open canvas, designed to grow and adapt as members contribute their ideas and expertise.

Your input matters here—and it’s the bedrock of everything we do.

Promoting the Bowhunting Tradition

The future of bowhunting in Minnesota relies on two things: growing participation and inspiring the next generation of bowhunters.

MNBOW is committed to keeping the bowhunting tradition alive by working toward these goals:

Bringing fresh excitement to the local archery industry.
Supporting education and mentorship programs for young bowhunters.
Celebrating successes, milestones, and the camaraderie that makes bowhunting unique.

We know what’s at stake—and we’re determined to ensure bowhunting remains a thriving, respected sport in Minnesota for decades to come.

Supporting the Archery Industry

Minnesota’s archery industry needs a boost, and MNBOW is here to provide it. Our vision extends beyond just the community of hunters—it encompasses the businesses and individuals who make bowhunting possible.

By supporting MNBOW, you’re supporting the local shops, manufacturers, and suppliers who are essential to the bowhunting experience. Together, we can create a stronger industry that benefits everyone involved.

Why MNBOW is Different

MNBOW isn’t just another organization—it’s a fresh take on what it means to advocate for a sport as unique as bowhunting. Here’s what sets us apart:

Member-Led: Unlike traditional models, we’re designed to reflect the voices of our members, not a small group of decision-makers.
Adaptable Approach: We’re an organization built to evolve, ensuring we remain relevant and effective as bowhunting grows and changes over time.
Focused on Bowhunters: While we love and support conservation efforts, our primary mission is to elevate bowhunters and highlight their contributions to Minnesota’s outdoor traditions.

This isn’t just our organization—it’s yours.

Be a Part of MNBOW’s Journey

We understand there are many wonderful groups you could support as a hunter or conservationist, and we encourage you to do so. But if bowhunting is your passion, MNBOW is the only organization in Minnesota that’s designed with your needs in mind.

For less than the price of a quick meal, you can become part of a growing community dedicated to shaping the future of bowhunting in our state. Together, we’ll make a difference—one bowhunter at a time.
