About Oregon Bow Hunters
Who Are We?
The Oregon Bow Hunters got its start during a meeting of the Pope Young Archers in 1948! It was decided to call the group the Oregon Field Archery Association, but in 1952 the name was changed to Oregon Bow Hunters. The Oregon Bow Hunters is a non-profit organization whose goal is to foster, perpetuate and expand archery & bow hunting in Oregon. We maintain an affiliation with the National Field Archery Association and have a representative on the NFAA board of directors.
