WHAT IS THE NDBA?
The NDBA was organized in 1952
by a group of dedicated archers. In 1953 North Dakota became the
last state to have a special bow and arrow season. Today we have
one of the longest bow seasons in the country. The NDBA is a
group of dedicated archers working to improve and protect the
rights and privileges of Bowhunters and to promote and expand
the sport of archery in North Dakota. Join us now!
