Archery in Vermont: Find a Place to Shoot, City by City

The Vermont Bowhunters Association anchors an NFAA New England scene with a focused state calendar and a deep bowhunting culture across the Green Mountains.

Vermont has a focused archery scene with NFAA-affiliated state activity and a strong bowhunting culture across the Green Mountains. The Vermont Bowhunters Association (VBA), established in 2011, is the primary state-level bowhunting organization, formed by a group of bowhunters who first met in Danville in 2010 to organize a statewide voice. NFAA-affiliated state competition runs through Vermont clubs in the NFAA New England Section. USA Archery activity runs through clubs and JOAD programs. Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier, and the Northeast Kingdom hold most of the organized indoor and outdoor archery activity. Cold winters push a long indoor season. Bowhunting is woven into the culture across the Green Mountains, with archery-only deer and bear seasons. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
