Mid America Hunting Association - Bowhunting is our best-kept secret. Year after year, dedicated MAHA archers harvest Pope & Young record book bucks. And with Kansas, Missouri and Iowa's long seasons and multiple tags, MAHA bowhunters get to put a lot of venison in the freezer and enjoy Bowhunting success most bowhunters only dream of. Trophy opportunities, including record book bucks, are a reality (see the MAHA deer hunters photo gallery for just a few of the big bucks harvested on MAHA leases). Add to that fall archery turkey seasons concurrent with deer seasons in Missouri and Kansas, and leases with both excellent deer and turkey populations, and you get bowhunting opportunities to satisfy the even the most discriminating archers.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) - Anyone familiar with the legend of Robin Hood knows archery competitions date back at least to mediaeval times. Indeed, today's archers still honor the fabled outlaw. The term "Robin Hood" now refers to splitting the shaft of an arrow already in the target with another arrow.
The equipment has crept forward in its technology since Robin and his merry men had the run of Sherwood Forest, but the sport of archery remains essentially unchanged. A recurve bow coated in fiberglass has become standard, and arrows made of aluminum and carbon graphite can travel more than 240km/h, but the most important requirements are straightforward: steady hands, strong shoulders, flexible muscles, sharp eyes and nerves of steel. >Archery was a feature of the Olympic Games several times from 1900 to 1920, but then disappeared for more than 50 years. It reappeared at Munich in 1972 and has remained a fixture ever since.

Outstanding examples of strength and clear focus are evident in all competitions. The Paralympic program includes singles, doubles and team events, and the competition and scoring procedures are identical to those used in the Olympic Games.
