Who Is Certified Bow Hunters
Certified Bow Hunters of St. Louis County was founded in 2003 by a small group of professional archers who were sought out by residents and alderman of Clarkson Valley, MO to help solve their deer population crisis. Clarkson Valley was the first St. Louis County community to utilize bow hunting as a safe and effective solution for this problem. Since the implementation and success of bow hunting in Clarkson Valley, many other communities in St. Louis County including Ballwin, Chesterfield, Eureka and Sunset Hills have also legalized bow hunting to solve their deer over-population issues.
