37th Annual UBM Festival

Come join us at the 37th annual United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival. This family-friendly event has something for everyone; seminars, auctions, vendors, raffles, food and a whole lot more! Come learn some tips and tricks about hunting from a tree saddle or hear from a local member of Team USA Archery on what it takes to make the cut. There will also be official scorers present (Boone-Crockett Club, Pope & Young Club, Longhunter Society, Archery Big Bucks of Missouri, Missouri Show-Me Big Bucks Club) so bring your antlers to be officially measured! Enter an arrow in the Custom Arrow Contest, photo in the Photo Contest, or try to win a custom Black Widow bow (a $1000 value). If you’re looking for real entertainment, stay for the banquet to hear guest speaker, Mike Yancey, as he tells us about his quest to complete the South African Spiral Slam with a selfbow. This is a great event for the hardcore hunter and someone who is just thinking about getting into the sport. A good time is guaranteed and you’ll be surrounded by some of the finest folks on the planet!

A non-member day pass for Saturday is only $15 and gets you into everything but the banquet. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on those hard-to-find archery supplies, maybe win something in one of the silent auctions, and tell lies with the best of them.
