Being the most important organization I've yet to join, I had to cut out a whole separate section for UFFDA. Without it, I know I would not be bowhunting today, and I certainly wouldn't have met all the wonderful folks involved.

To get an idea of what the group hunt is all about, check out the Essence of Uffda.

With any luck and a lot of help, I will be starting a hunt just like this one in Texas before the leaves begin falling next year. It's way too good an event to be wasted on just the midwestern states.

Below, you can find a personal account detailing my first trip to Minnesota in search of whitetail with a crossbow. The general UFFDA archives, await below. There are stories from hunts past and those that have recently taken place.

Follow these hunters as they overcome a variety of handicaps to take deer, turkey, and bear with the most primitive form of hunting equipment, the bow & arrow.

Because of the close relationship between this group and general bow hunting, I have to have a link to my archery page. The equipment page will also be filled by UFFDA members due to the simple fact that they are so many different disabilities present at each hunt. They are the richest source I've found for adaptive devices, and this Fall I will be taking plenty of photos.
