Hall of Fame

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             The California Archery Hall of Fame was founded in 1976, as a means of honoring California archers who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of archery in California.

             The introduction of new equipment for archery, the ability to consistently shoot top scores, the prowess of the bow hunter to take big and small game, the time spent in attending meetings to preserve our bow hunting rights, the hour upon hour spent in building and maintaining archery courses, the continued promotion of archery at every opportunity are some of the characteristics of the California Archery Hall of Fame members.

             The individuals listed below; manufacturers, inventors, competitive archers, dealers, bow hunters, legislators, have, each in their own way, made archery the great sport it is today. Enthusiasm for and love of archery is the common bond among them all.
