Activities
NBHA advocates for bowhunter rights at local, county, and state-wide levels. In everything we do, we aim to connect archers across the state of Nevada and promote the archery community through events, news updates, and state-wide championship archery tournaments. NBHA offers a variety of awards from time to time, including plaques, trophies, pins, medals, patches, and even money! A banquet and awards ceremony is held annually at a time and place set by the board each year, and all participating archers in that given year are welcome and invited to attend. In addition to tournament awards, NBHA gives a silver belt buckle for Adult Bowhunter of the Year and Youth Bowhunter of the Year. NBHA also awards the Doc Holmes revolving trophy and plaque to the hunter entering the largest mule buck from Nevada taken with archery equipment. It also awards a George Craft revolving trophy and plaque to the hunter with the largest out-of-state mule buck.
