Oregon has a deep archery scene anchored by Oregon Bow Hunters (OBH), a non-profit founded in 1948 to foster, perpetuate, and expand archery and bowhunting in Oregon. OBH hosts three annual NFAA-sanctioned state tournaments (OBH State Indoor in late February or early March, State Outdoor Championship over two days in June following NFAA National Field format, and State 3D over two days in July with one arrow at 40 unmarked-distance targets each day) plus an annual bow hunters convention. USA Archery activity in Oregon runs through clubs and JOAD programs. Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend, and Medford hold the densest club scenes. Head into the Cascades, the Coast Range, and the broader backcountry and you find clubs cut into forest with field and 3D courses. Bowhunting is the heartbeat of Oregon's archery culture, with elk, mule deer, blacktail, bear, and antelope seasons. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
