The ATA’s membership year runs April 1 to March 31. To recap the ATA’s most recent fiscal year, the Association completed its 2023 to 2024 Year in Review, which showcases some of the work the Association did to benefit members this past year. Take a look at these efforts and achievements in the comprehensive document to see how the ATA works year-round on behalf of its members. Then, renew your ATA membership or join the ATA to take advantage of the following membership perks.
- ATA’s Certified Bow Technician Program: The ATA has two Bow Technician Certification courses: one for compound bows and one for crossbows. Each course has an on-demand online component and an in-person practical assessment that allows the students to test their skills. Both courses help members validate their skills, add credibility to their archery shop and reassure customers they know what they’re doing. A certification also differentiates your business from competitors. Click here to learn more or enroll.
- Resource Library: Members can access a collection of free, downloadable resources in the Resource Library through the ATA member dashboard. Members can download comprehensive guides, informative survey results like the ATA’s Retail Trend Tracker survey, and other unique materials to help their business.
- ATA Learning Center: Visit the ATA Learning Center to find on-demand video courses with quizzes and handouts to expand your skills and knowledge. You can take an interactive class on coaching, marketing, conservation, archery tech, business operations and more.
