About Us
The year was 1969, a group of archers were setting around the dinner table at a Professional Archers Association tournament in Michigan. The subject came up about different sports who had halls of fames and one of the tournament officials said," Wouldn't it be something if someday Archery could have a Hall of Fame like other sports have. The seed was sown and that was how it all began. At that time is was really just a dream...

Testimonial
I'm not an archer, but enjoyed the museum. The Motorsport Museum and NRA sporting Arms museum located in the same building were also fun.
Attended a Professional Bowhunters Society Conference at the Oasis. Several of us took a tour of the Bass Pro Archery Hall of Fame. It is an exceptional display of what archery is about! Definitely enjoyed!
The museum is located inside the Bass Pro Shop. It is free to look at. There is a guide in the museum that can answer any questions you may have as not all artifacts are marked with description.
My husband and son are both bow shooters and loved seeing the evolution of competitive bow shooting. My son was very impressed with the Fred Bear collection.
