About the Minnesota State Archery Association:

Picture
Started in 1939, the MSAA is by far the largest and most active archery association in the State of Minnesota. The MSAA has three main goals:
  • Creating opportunities to compete
  • Advocating for and education about archery and the outdoors
  • Providing members the inside track on bowhunting 

The MSAA is an organization that connects archers, archery clubs, and pro-shops across the state of Minnesota to promote the sport of archery. While the MSAA does not own or operate a specific range, it partners with clubs and members to host several state tournaments throughout the year.  

If you are interested in getting started shooting, or still new to archery, we encourage you to find a club or pro shop in your area to get connected with people who can help you!

Announcement:

1/18/2023

​Great news Archers!!! MSAA (Minnesota State Archery Association) has adopted a new shooting style. “Modern Bowhunter”.

This style of equipment will include today’s Bowhunter equipment. Slider style sights (no lens), 12 inch or less stabilizer, back stabilizers are allowed, arrows must have screw in tips, and you will be allowed to adjust your sight for elevation but NOT windage during a tournament.

This was just passed and we are excited to welcome archers with this style of equipment. For starters we are limiting this to just the Adult age division both male and female.

Any questions or comments please reach out to me or any other member, or Board member of the MSAA.

Thanks!!!
Paul Parsons
​Interim President MSAA
