TRADITIONAL ARCHERS OF OREGON

The Traditional Archers of Oregon was formed to represent the interests of traditional archers at the state level with Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Oregon State Police and International Bowhunter Education Program. All members are encouraged to participate in informal business meetings concurrent with regular annual events. Annual events include, but are not limited to: Annual Banquet hosted by affiliate clubs in various locations throughout the state in late January. Activities include: displays, vendors, guest speakers, dinner and business meeting. Annual Pope Young Shoot held in Brownsville, Oregon and also hosted by affiliate clubs the last full weekend in July each year. Activities include: battle clout, wand, trail shoot, novelties, pot luck dinner, business meeting and awards ceremony. Annual Bob Bouret Conservation Project and Charlie Barr Golf Shoot held in Tygh Valley, Oregon. Activities include: Conservation project in conjunction with the White River Wildlife Area followed by a round of archery golf. Western States Traditional Rendezvous held alternately in Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho. Activities include: trail shoot, novelties, vendors, awards. North American Longbow Safari alternates between Canadian Provinces and Western States. Activities include: trail shoot, novelties, Bar-B-Que dinner, vendors, awards. Members will be kept informed of club activities, traditional archery events, legislation and regulations affecting seasons using several tools. Newsletters will be mailed on an as needed basis. THE SCROLL, an opportunity for members to tell their story, is published regularly. For members that are on-line, we will use this website and email alerts to keep members current with events and pertinent information. Traditional Archers of Oregon sponsors the OREGON ARCHERY HERITAGE MUSEUM with the purpose of promoting and exhibiting Oregon’s archery and bow hunting history at our annual banquet, Pope-Young shoot, and other archery events around the Northwest. The museum centerpiece is the famous William’s Ranch arrow collection previously on display at The St. Charles Pope & Young Museum in Seattle. It also includes displays, featuring many of Oregon’s past historic archers showing Oregon’s deep archery heritage. With the help of generous donations and the hard work of many members and affiliate clubs, the museum displays have grown considerably over the past few years and we need to arrange for special transportation to maintain the integrity of the displays.
