This year the Lone Star Bowhunters Association is a proud sponsor of the Texas Police Games' Archery Events, which is held by the Texas Police Athletic Federation.
If you are a law enforcement officer or fireman, please consider registering for the archery events and bring a guest! More participants will insure that archery continues to be offered as an event in the Texas Police Games. The numbers have been in decline the last several years and we want to change that.
