The Young Bowhunters Club is an integral part of the Family Corner on bowhunting.net.

This is a virtual community made by young bowhunters for young bowhunters. The purpose of the YBC is to:

1. Be a gathering place for the online, youth, bowhunting community.

2. Keep young bowhunters up to date with what’s going on in the world of bowhunting.

3. Provide a place where youth who are curious about--or interested in--bowhunting can learn about it.

4. Communicate about bowhunting and archery on a kids level.

5. Meet other kids who are bowhunters or who are interested in bowhunting.

6. Exchange ideas, experiences, tips, and information about bowhunting with other kids.

7. and to have fun!

Young Bowhunters Club has a number of events for youth.

The interactive, electronic Newsletter covers a variety of topics from a kids perspective. (It even has a cartoonist who draws humorous bowhunting cartoons.) It’s edited and updated regularly by Brian Pullam, the founder of Young Bowhunters Club and the Electronic Events Coordinator for the club.
The club has it’s own CLUBHOUSE. It is an interactive forum where Kids post messages, ask questions, answer questions, find other kids who are bowhunters, or just say hello to other kids.
YBC LIVE CHAT for KIDS is for the club members and kids who want to chat with other kids. They chat online, live, with other bowhunting youth, from all over the US as well as other countries.
Kids are being encouraged to contribute their own web pages, artwork and graphics for Club projects and events.
Contests are being scheduled to be held and bowhunting and archery gear will be the prizes.
Columns are encouraged and new ones are added from time to time. At press time a popular column (with both youth and adults) is Novice Bowhunter by Thomas French, a veteran hunter and new bowhunter from Jefferson City, Missouri. Thomas is the YBC New Bowhunter Co-ordinator and authors a YBC column named New Bowhunters Nook.
The club mascot is the ARROW GREMLIN. That mystical character who gathers up those lost arrows and hordes them where they can’t be found. A contest is forthcoming for the best depiction of the arrow Gremlin.

One of the unique things about the Internet is it provides an electronic forum that is accessible from anywhere. Kids contribute from all over the world. For example, Brian’s Newsletter team is in Florida, Arizona, Texas, Missouri and New Mexico.
