WHO WE ARE

PRESERVE, PROTECT, PROMOTE

The United Bowhunters of Pennsylvania (UBP) was founded in 1985 by a group of dedicated bowhunters who desired to unite all of Pennsylvania's bowhunters into one organization with a mission to fight the growing anti-hunting movement. For over 40 years, the UBP has been at the forefront of advocating for bowhunters' rights and fostering a strong hunting community throughout the state. Now we are the longest-lasting and most influential bowhunting organization in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
