| Field Archery at Its
Best |
Rochester Bow Hunters is a non-profit Archery Club | |
| Rochester Bow Hunters (RBH) started in 1952 by local
sportsman to provide an area to practice and enjoy the sport of
archery. Their first property was a leased piece of land on the
Barge Canal. A field course was laid out and in 1953 club officers
where elected. Through the early years the club evolved and joined
other archery clubs to form the Five Nations. In 1960 RBH became a
non-profit corporation allowing the club to purchase, in 1967, the
present home of RBH. The club held many shoots and continues to hold
Field shoots on a regular schedule. The course is laid out in a
wooded area of the property, we have 14 targets set out from 80 yds
down to 20 ft. With the break up of the Five Nations RBH has joined
the Western NY Field Archers and Bowhunters. This gives members of
RBH more shooting opportunities and better competition against
Archers of the Buffalo and Niagara Falls areas. Our membership fees
are modest. Join us for the fun and come improve your skills as
well. Recent Tournament Results - Last updated 10/09 View Results Page Here Officers President - Bill

| Rochester Bow
Hunters (RBH) is a non-profit archery club and while RBH has been
around since 1952 we were not incorporated until 1960. This was done
so RBH club could purchase the property we now own. The land was
purchased in 1967 and is 20+ acres. The field course is set in the
wooded area of the property, there are presently 14 targets set with
an additional 14 paths laid out for future expansion. Future plans
and hopes are for more tournaments to be held at our site.
