Who
Are We?
Minnesota Bowhunters
Inc. (MBI) is a statewide organization that has been representing,
protecting, and promoting bowhunting since 1946. MBI is
a non-profit organization registered with the IRS as a 501(c)3
and the State of MN. As a community of bowhunters our mission
is to ensure that future generations of bowhunters will
be able to enjoy the great sport of bowhunting as we have.
It is with dedication and commitment to that end that the
current board and membership devote our time and talents.
It will only be with that same dedication of new and future
generations of bowhunters that we will be able to succeed.
Maybe the question
"Who Are We" can best be answered by saying we
are you, the average Minnesota bowhunter. Our strength lies
within our membership.
