Hello Traditional Archers and Bowhunters! Many of us are going in different directions this coming weekend, so our monthly meeting information will be summarized here instead of our usual Zoom gathering. We are headed to LaGrande for the Oregon Rendezvous on the River on Thursday.

Hello Fellow Archers and Bowhunters! My husband, Bill, and I have returned from our 3 week journey to Petaluma, California where we participated in the 2025 Western States Traditional Rendezvous at the beautiful coastal ranch belonging to Steve and Marilyn Dutra.

The second annual Northwest Traditional Archery Expo held on March 21-23, 2025, did not disappoint. Four states came together this year to put on the event; Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Nevada.

Over 70 archers registered for the shoot, and many renewed their memberships, including one new life member: Butch Olson, who commented, "I don't know why I didn't do this sooner!" Thanks Butch!

Insurance is covering the damaged targets and it sounds like we have a few clubs/organizations that have done or are doing fundraisers for more targets (cash donations are a logistical challenge as a state agency).

The Saturday afternoon Traditional Madness shoot hosted by the Nampa Bow Chiefs was a great success! Thirty two people participated in this inaugural event.

Our annual legislative reception will be back at Beside Bardenay (610 W Grove St., Boise) from 5-6:30pm on February 12th.

Watch the full recap of the Jan. 29, 2025 Idaho Fish and Game Commission Meeting in Boise.

Please help keep the Military Reserve Archery Range usable and well maintained. Broadhead arrows are not permitted on site unless they are used in the designated lane where archers can bring their own targets.
