Michigan Bow Hunters

		Back in 1946, a group of Michigan Pioneer archers decided that our state's then small band of bowhunters needed official recognition to promote their sport. Through the effort of these dedicated individuals, the Michigan Bow Hunters Association was formed. Since 1946, MBH has been the official voice of Michigan's Hunting archer, dedicated to promoting and protecting the interests of our steadily growing number of bowhunters. MBH is an independent, nonprofit organization. Its officers are elected by the membership, and its activities are governed by the MBH Constitution.


	Michigan Bow Hunters in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources, constantly strives to improve hunting regulations for all hunting archers while at the same time always on the alert for legislation which would not serve in the best interest of bowhunters. Most of the liberal hunting regulation which Michigan hunting archers enjoy today are a direct result of the effort of the Michigan Bow Hunters Association. Some examples include the 77 day separate deer season for bowhunters in Michigan; An any-deer archery season in all counties of the state; The privilege of shooting rough fish with bow and arrow in most Michigan lakes and streams; The exemption of public lands from county bans on Sunday hunting in southern Michigan; Removal of the regulation which required an unstrung bow to be encased while transported in an automobile during shooting hours; The right to hunt with bow and arrow from elevated stands; The introduction of the International Bowhunter Education Program (I.B.E.P.)


	Michigan Bow Hunters is a sponsor of the Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger Program; Participats in the Adopt-A-Forest and Adopt-A-Highway Programs; and donates to various Michigan Charities
