TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
“What made me want to join Major League Archery was how professional and well thought out everything is. After talking with Smitty, I knew this wasn’t just another hunting lease or club — it’s something completely different. The limited memberships, the structure, the stand management, even the incentive system all showed me this was organized the right way. I wanted to be part of it from the very beginning because opportunities like this don’t come around often. I honestly believe that once the club is full, memberships will not come available too often. I have mine though. I am pumped!”
Geoff, Inaugural Member, SE Kansas
“For me, joining Major League Archery was about more than just the hunting. I’ve known Smitty for several years, and I know the kind of man he is — when he puts his name on something, it’s going to be done right. That gave me confidence right away. I wanted to be part of this not just because of the incredible land habitat and the bowhunting opportunities, but because I knew I’d be spending my time with people I trust and enjoy being around. There’s a brotherhood here, and I wanted in on that. At the end of the day, I joined because I believe in the vision, I believe in Smitty, and I want to be part of building something that’s going to be talked about for years to come.”
Michael, Inaugural Member, NW Arkansas

Membership in Major League Archery is highly selective and limited to a small number of members each season. Our goal is to build a community of ethical, conservation-minded members who share our vision of “Pioneering a Different Hunt.”
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Each application is carefully reviewed, and qualified applicants will be contacted to schedule a phone interview. During this call, we’ll discuss your bowhunting background, conservation philosophy, and expectations as a member.
We believe that our club’s strength comes from the character and commitment of its members. For that reason, not every applicant will be accepted. Selection is based on experience, alignment with our mission, and the ability to contribute positively to the community.
If accepted, you will receive an invitation to secure your membership and select your hunting dates for the season.

- Membership fees are due upon acceptance to confirm your spot.
