Hey Smitty...Joseph summed up the highpoints. The TBM is really just now gearing up and organizing itself into a political organization. It takes time. The Butte convention was only our 3rd one, and I think like the last two, a great success. By the way, you missed one of the best meals I've ever had at any convention anywhere!
The TBM has been around now for 20 years or more...mostly a fraternal organization that held a shoot or two, and hosted the NALS when it came to MT. Most of the membership are active members of the MBA as well, and we have a lot of bowhunting political experience in our ranks. We will be having a shoot this summer at the Robertson ranch in Forest Grove....also, we publish two newsletter each year. I think in the future we will have a very viable organization politically, and may even open some eyes nationally....we'll see!
