MSAA Membership: Yearly & Lifetime Options
A yearly membership in the MSAA is just $20 per individual, with a $30 family maximum! Benefits include:
- Value - membership in other archery associations that offer you less will cost you much more - your money that might be better spent on the latest equipment. The MSAA keeps dues low and gives you a break if you join through your local MSAA 100% affiliated club.
- MSAA tournament fees are also significantly less and MSAA tournaments have by far the highest participation over any of the others in Minnesota. Add this all up and you are getting the biggest bang for your buck when you join the MSAA.
