Hello Friends of the ABA!

We are excited to announce that our Quarterly Magazine will be going through some changes and updates this year, with the goal of bringing you applicable content, stunning visuals, and more of everything bow hunting! We ask that our members and supporters seriously consider contributing articles about hunting, bow fishing, conservation, tips of the trade, and the craftsmanship of bows, arrows and other key tools and elements of this wonderful lifestyle. Magazines will be mailed to our current members only, so be sure to check your membership status at www.akbowhunters.com and renew if needed!

Below are details about article length, subjects etc.
