Compton is a great organization that works hard to promote traditional archery, bow hunting and get kids involved in the sport. The guys on the Board are legit and work hard for the members. What I like about the Board is it is not a old school, debate thing for years before making a decision type of Board. They try to keep things fresh and communicate well with the members. The Rendezvous in Berrien Springs Michigan and the Big Game classic are top notch and put on very well.
One big thing Compton is doing is the Archives program. They are scoring and archiving animals ethically harvested by Trad bows. This record keeping is not designed for bragging rights but as a well documented record of what a Trad bow can do and that it is a powerful, ethical, lethal way of taking all big game species. This could be very useful in future if groups challenge our hunting rights or try to come at us from the angle the trad bows should not be legal to hunt with. Hey, in this world it's a reality for the anti movement to try this.
Anyway it's a good organization built around what you love, bow hunting. Once you get your first magazine you will get more filled in. Feel free to reach our to any Board Members also.
Unfortunately they don't seem to be on Tradgang much and very little info is put on the Compton Forum.
I have a feeling you will be glad you joined, especially after you attend an event. I don't have the exact stats but my guess is that Compton is growing faster than similar organization, there is a reason.
