Summer 2026

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Hello to fellow bowhunters. Hopefully everyone had a successful turkey and bear season. Hearing from some the turkey hunting was tough in areas. Now that summer fishing is upon us, it’s great to be on the lakes and rivers. Now for all you that have been practicing hard and for those that have not fall festival is just around the corner. Not a better time than now is to join us at Pine Lake near Eldora. Meet up with old friends and new friends. We will have a limited number of bows for people that have not shot a bow so encourage anyone that does not have a bow to come out and give it a try. Always an enjoyable weekend during fall festival. I would also like to thank

everyone that comes out to setup and tear down. More information elsewhere in the Bowhunter. Your board is already planning on the upcoming 2027 year. It will mark our 60th year for the IBA. If my memory serves me right it was started by thirteen original members in 1967. Thank you to the ones that started the IBA and all the volunteers that have volunteered their time over the years to keep the IBA strong. Thanks to each and every one of you for being members of the IBA. We really appreciate the sponsors and all that donate. In closing may your arrows fly straight. Sincerely, Loren
