Since the formation of the Alberta Bowhunters Association in 1956, it has become the voice of bowhunters in the province of. The ABA is involved in working with government and other stakeholders to lobby for changes to the hunting regulations (in general terms as well as for bowhunting in particular), help develop “policy” for FW in dealing with wildlife management issues, involved in their Species Management Reviews. We are very aware of the threats to our hunting and bowhunting heritages, our outdoor recreational pursuits. The ABA is a member group on the Alberta Conservation Association Board.  We support the International Bowhunter Education Programs that teach bowhunters the right way to do things and the National Archery in the Schools Program that introduces archery to youngsters in a school environment (both administered by the Alberta Hunter Education Instructors Association, and they have had phenomenal success). The ABA has just completed a comprehensive review/update for AHEIA of the Bowhunting component of their Hunter Education manual.
The ABA provides liability insurance to its members, a network of directors from all regions of the province.  We have a one-of-a-kind, internationally acclaimed Game Awards Program.  A superb annual YEARBOOK and a great website.  We give support to our affiliated clubs for their 3D archery shoots that focus on bowhunting situations.  We are active in promoting youth in archery and bowhunting. In general, we are working hard to make sure our passions for archery and bowhunting are allowed to continue.
Everything you now do as a bowhunter in Alberta, you can attribute to the hard work of the Alberta Bowhunters Association the past 66 years, all of it by volunteers!!  We have a strong membership and an active, dedicated executive. If you bowhunt, you need to belong to the ABA.  

The proceeds from our raffles over the years help offset the costs of the Association and our various programs (the Game Awards Program, 3D Sponsorship Program, our annual 96-page, full color YEARBOOK, insurance costs, youth initiatives).  Your past and future support is greatly appreciated!!

This particular “Field To Table” raffle offers three great prizes.  The Koola Buck Pro is the only commercially made portable cooler on the market and is a great addition to any hunting camp or can be set up at home.  We have an assortment of meat processing accessories as Prize #2 and then a Pit Boss Sportsman pellet grill as Prize #3.
