The Archery Trade Association reports that its Board of Directors has welcomed both new and returning members. The number of qualified nominees matched the number of open seats for 2026, so, in accordance with the Association’s bylaws, the nominees were automatically seated without an election.

James McGovern, owner and marketing director of Rinehart Targets, Tyson Yates, vice president of sales and marketing at Easton, Jeff Adee, president of Headhunter Bowstrings, and Nick Fisher, president and CEO of Arizona Archery Enterprises, will begin their terms on April 1, 2026.

“The ATA Board of Directors is focused on driving progress across the archery industry while continuing to support the association’s mission and long-term objectives,” said Jeff Poole, president and CEO of the ATA. “With experience that spans every segment of the industry, this accomplished group is uniquely positioned to advocate for and serve the full ATA membership.”

The ATA, which represents manufacturers, retailers, distributors, sales representatives, and others working in the archery and bowhunting industry, noted that “these board members bring valuable experience and insight to help address the needs of ATA members. Under the board’s guidance, the ATA will continue to advocate for and protect the archery and bowhunting industry while inspiring future archers through education and recruitment programs.”

The ATA leadership team and the Board of Directors will meet in Columbus, OH, in April. All ATA members are welcome to attend.

The ATA owns and operates the ATA Trade Show, the archery and bowhunting industry’s largest and longest-running trade show worldwide.
