Affiliation with the MSAA for Clubs & Pro Shops

Picture
The MSAA wants to help your club or archery business succeed by not only sharing your mission of protecting and promoting archery but by improving your ability to rise funds and to gain important exposure. 

When a club or pro-shop affiliates with the MSAA, it creates strength in numbers, a sense of archery community, and a pool of resources that drives positive archery change throughout the state.  

The dedication of MSAA members is also very high and when they come into your club or pro-shop they will be looking for the very latest and best archery equipment.

To share in the benefits of MSAA affiliation, clubs can:
  • Join with 50% of their membership becoming MSAA members
  • Join with 100% of their membership becoming MSAA members
  • A $15 charter fee for either. 
If a club joins as a 100% affiliate they will get a $5 discount per individual membership and all affiliated clubs have voting power in the decision making process of the MSAA.

Pro-shops can affiliate with:
  • A $15 charter fee
  • The owner, or manager, becoming an MSAA member
