Now is the time to become involved!

Many of us are aware that archery if a fun sport and all ages can participate. We each have possibly a particular style of archery we prefer over another.  For those of use that have been in archery for a few years or longer we are seeing fewer and fewer archery pro-shops that have ranges and places to practice are becoming fewer. Many of us live within city limits and practicing in our backyards is not possible. This is brought this to your attention only because St Louis Bow Hunters is a fine club promoting archery for the entire family and promotes the different styles of archery for everyone's enjoyment. We have a place to practice archery for now!!

Our club differs from a business since the club is run with the voluntary help of the club's membership.

Most maintenance on the indoor range has been done by the club's membership, your website, membership cards and flyers are voluntarily done by the club's membership. Setting up and running the tournaments (3D and indoor) are voluntarily done by the club's membership. Picking up the food needed at the 3D shoots, cooking and serving food at the 3D shoots are positions voluntarily filled. Everyone looks forward to placing in a tournament and looks forward to receiving a trophy for their performance. Someone has volunteered their time assuring trophies are available for such events. Club members voluntarily open the indoor range for everyone to practice. Members voluntarily do running and organizing the leagues. Our club's board devotes many hours to your club that allows us to maintain a responsible archery club for everyone's enjoyment.

We have an outstanding membership in the St Louis Bow Hunters Archery Club, but we are sorry to say only a small portion of our membership decides to volunteer their time for the positions needed. We are coming to a critical point in our club for new volunteers to step up in our club. We thank and appreciate everyone's help for the positions they held this year but everyone needs time off if they would choose to do so.

Wouldn't you like to become involved? Please, let us know what you would be interested in helping with.
