NEW ULM, MN — The Archery Trade Association is pleased to welcome new and returning members to the ATA Board of Directors. The number of qualified nominees equaled the number of open seats this year, so in accordance with ATA bylaws, the nominees were automatically seated without the need for 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 term on April 1, 2026.

In addition to dedicating their time to the ATA and the archery and bowhunting industry, 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 advocate for and protect the archery and bowhunting industry while inspiring future archers through education and recruitment programs.
