Welcome members and guests!

Thank you for checking out the Land of Lakes Bowfishing Association’s website. The LLBA, Minnesota’s only bowfishing association, was founded by bowfishers committed to the preservation, promotion, and protection of the sport of bowfishing in Minnesota. It was the LLBA members who worked with the MN DNR to have a night season in Minnesota. We have joined forces with the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Alliance to work with the Minnesota Legislature and the MN DNR to better bowfishing opportunities and assure that our sport will be around for future generations. We attend kid’s events and festivals, as we can, to promote bowfishing to Minnesota’s future sportsmen/women. And every year LLBA members team up with the John Glenn Cadet Archery Program to take out 100+ kid’s bowfishing to experience what our great sport has to offer.

If you are not a member I encourage you to think about joining the LLBA. We have a great group of people from all walks of life. With your membership you will be eligible to participate in all shoots, events, and have access to the member’s section of our forum. Your membership includes a bi-monthly e-newsletter that gives you the most up to date club information, bowfishing news, and helpful tips. Most importantly, you are supporting an association that seeks increasing opportunities for the sport of bowfishing and educating Minnesotan’s about our great sport.

Minnesota’s lakes have a lot to offer the bowfishing community and in return we can help with removing invasive and rough fish from its waters.  Fish like the Common carp have been for years destroying the ecosystem of our lakes and rivers and we would like to assist lake associations who desire to eradicate these fish.  Just let us know! Today Minnesota faces an even bigger threat with the Asian carp. If these fish take hold in our waters it will only spell out an ecological disaster for our native fish and wildlife that depend on food from our lakes and rivers. We have asked the MN DNR to use bowfishing as one method to attempt to further locate these fish and their progress into the state. Time will only tell if they view us to be an additional tool, free to the tax payers, in the fight against invasive species.

Thanks again for visiting with the LLBA. Enjoy viewing the website and I hope to see members, new and old, at future shoots and events. Remember the mission of the LLBA: to preserve, promote, and protect bowfishing in Minnesota.
