Upper Snake River Bowmen

Upper Snake River Bowmen has been the backbone of archery in the Upper Snake River region for over three-quarters of a century. What started as a passion project has evolved into a well-organized club that serves bowhunters and archery enthusiasts across Idaho.

Members get full access to the club's private archery range stocked with extensive 3D targets for skill development and practice. The range operates seasonally from mid-to-late April through August (typically concluding after the annual Beesley Shoot). Every member can bring a guest for free.

The club organizes multiple archery shoots annually, including established events like:

• •Steel Creek Shoot
• •Atwood Shoot
• •Byron Harris Shoot
• •Beaver Dick Shoot

These aren't just competitions—they're opportunities to dial in equipment before bow hunting season and connect with other serious archers. Shoot flyers and schedules are posted on the website.

The USRB Banquet (held each January) is the club's main fundraiser and celebration. Members gather to:

• •Receive awards for successful bow hunts (first kills, largest game by species, youth achievements)
• •Watch a slideshow reviewing the year's shoots, board members, and member hunting photos
• •Participate in raffles and games with donated prizes
• •Share a meal catered by local vendors

All banquet proceeds go directly back into the club to maintain equipment and secure quality locations for shoots.

Members also receive monthly newsletters with club updates, event announcements, and bowhunting news.

The club is run by elected board members who shift annually at the banquet. Leadership roles include range masters, shoot coordinators, banquet planning, and publicity—ensuring the club stays organized and growing.
