Advocacy

The ATA works hard on your behalf, year-round, to ensure continued growth of the industry. ATA staff create resources, develop programs, recruit new participants, advocate for favorable laws and regulations, and promote archery sports daily. The ATA also works with partners, such as Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, to extend the organization’s reach and multiply its efforts to keep archery relevant and meaningful in many communities and connects its members with state agencies to implement archery academies and the Explore Bowhunting and Explore Bowfishing programs nationwide.
