Save Our Heritage Program Launches

One of Lattimer’s first initiatives was to raise a “war chest” to protect and promote bowhunting and archery sports. The Save Our Heritage program launched in 1992 when more than 70 manufacturers and distributors committed a percentage of their sales to the fund. A grant committee reviewed funding requests, which were then voted on by the AMO Board. Some of this money developed promotional programs and informational pamphlets for dealers, manufacturers and the public, while other funds were used to protect bowhunting.
