At the legislature
The MSAA stands ready to do the
leg work at the state legislature when issues that will have an effect on
our hunting and shooting sport rights arise.

legislature
The MSAA urges
you to speak out and to educate on these
important issues by contacting your representatives and reminding them what is important
to you. The MSAA also wants to remind you that not only
must we defend our rights but we should be inclined to support the needs of the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources and their mandate as Minnesota's conservator guardian of our
natural resources.
The MSAA Conservation Partnership
The MSAA has donated nearly $100,000 to
conservation projects for the improvement of Minnesota's wildlife and habitat. The
MSAA also has a long tradition of working with the DNR for the welfare of Minnesota's
natural resources and the promotion of the sport of archery in the state.
The MSAA has funded:
-
Camp Ripley Wounding Study
-
Metro Bowhunters Resource Base
-
Black bear studies
-
New equipment for the DNR
-
Bowhunter education programs
-
3D deer instructions models
-
and much more

What can you do?
Support the MSAA by way of MSAA
membership. If you are already an MSAA member consider a leadership position
or volunteering on any number of projects that the MSAA is involved in now. If you
are not already an MSAA member begin by joining. Archers that organize are
archers that will be heard; archers that sit idly by are archers that will see their
opportunities erode because no one is speaking for them.
American Income Life Death Benefit
An MSAA membership includes an American Income Life Insurance Company (AIL) death benefit. AIL provides this free to the MSAA in exchange for MSAA staff mailing to the association's members AIL marketing information. The MSAA puts together this mailing and does not release your contact information to AIL or any other company - it is the policy of the MSAA not to so so. If you prefer not to be contacted by AIL please do not return their contact card once you receive it. Not returning the card will have no effect on qualifying for the benefit, the benefit is only dependant upon current MSAA membership. Use the links below to learn more about this benefit.

Youth hunts
Each year members from the MSAA take a leadership
role in the coordination and sponsorship of youth archery hunts at Camp Ripley
and at the Arden Hills Army National Guard Training Site (AHATS).
The MSAA partners with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the
military, and other outdoor groups to facilitate these hunts.
These hunts are open to the public by way
of application to a lottery process. Applications are made through the Electronic Licensing System (ELS). Keep an eye on the dates at the DNR.
The MSAA funds its youth hunt efforts by
selling the official Camp Ripley topology map. To get your map contact MSAA
