GATHERINGS
Our strength has always been in our events and gatherings. Traditional archery is one of those things that needs to be experienced to fully grasp. You can shoot a bow alone of course, but doing so with others like you makes it all the more enjoyable. Give a group of people bows, arrows, and a place to shoot and a good time will be impossible to avoid.
The MLA hosts two events annually: the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational (GLLI) and the Annual Spring Shoot and Membership Meeting. Please mark both on your calendars, but consider attending the events below as well.
We'll be there and cannot wait to meet you!
The can’t miss event for Michigan Longbow Association members and their families. There is no better way to start the 2024 archery season. This is a free shoot and one of the benefits of your membership. This is also the perfect opportunity to hear essential MLA news and vote on MLA issues.
The Great Lakes Longbow Invitational is the granddaddy of all traditional shoots. It has the distinction of being the first gathering of it’s kind in the modern archery era. It was then and is today a truly wonderful experience and we invite you to come and share it with us.
Not just for modern archers, if you hunt in the great state of Michigan, consider heading up to Harrison for this years MBH Rendezvous. It is also a great way to show others how much fun longbow archery can be.
