President's Message

Welcome to our newly re-designed web site.  If you bowhunt in West Virginia, we invite you to join thousands of others like yourself around the state who are dedicated to preserving the bowhunting heritage and protecting the archery season.  You can read about our goals, objectives and accomplishments here on this website. 

If you are new to the WVBA let me inform you about one of our largest events which is just around the corner - the annual awards banquet.  Reservations are required and information has already been mailed to members, but there is always room for more and new members are encouraged to attend.  During this event, which is March 9-11, 2012 at Flatwoods Days Hotel you will have the opportunity to attend free hunting seminars, meet other serious bowhunters and also meet our special guests Fred and Michele Eichler.  Fred is the first bowhunter to complete the Grand Slam with a recurve bow and can be seen on Easton Bowhunting TV.  Michele is also a successful bowhunter and owner of Muzzy Broadheads.  They also operate an outfitting business in Colorado called Full Draw Outfitters where they guide for elk, deer, antelope, bear, turkey and anything else that is legal.  Other activities at the banquet include chances to win incredible prizes plus a live auction for big game hunts, equipment, and one of a kind custom items hand crafted right here in West Virginia!  More information will begin appearing under the 'Banquet' heading on this main page.  Reservations have already started coming in and although everyone is welcome, seating is limited, so I'd encourage you to make reservations early.  If you are just learning about the WVBA, feel free to e-mail any questions and I'll be happy to address them.

Please be patient with us as we build more content for this site.  One item we hope to be putting into place is a merchant center where you can purchase WVBA merchandise and pay for your membership or renewal on-line.  If you have ideas for things you would like to see, drop me an e-mail and we’ll see what we can do to accommodate your request.           

Until then…Shoot Straight,
Ed McMinn
President
