OneCam - just a few other bits of info to let everyone know about the IBA is:

We are pushing and doing what we can to get the Archery in School program off the ground and going in our state's local schools. We are trying to introduce as many youth's to the sport today, as they are the future of this great sport in Iowa.

We have IBA board members who serve on the TIP board so we know what's going on there, and help where we can.

We are in constant communication with the DNR, Conservation officers, Legislators, Lobbyists, manufactures, and others involved in the archery/hunting industry. We do this so that we keep informed with everything that is going on, what's coming up in the future, so that we can stay in the loop and on top of it.

We are always welcoming new members, area reps, and 100% clubs. If intrestered please pm one on the IBA moderators or visit the IBA website at www.iowabowhunters.org, or sign up here at the company store.

Onecam and supertec are right on. You can sit back and do nothing if you want but I've got to tell you, there are a lot of dedicated people that are sacrificing lots of their personal time, money and energy to save, protect and promote the sport so many of us love so much. If bowhunting is important to you I urge you to at least make an annual contribution of the membership fee and be counted in when IBA stands up to defend our sport.
