The single biggest thing UBP has done is lobbied successfully to extend early archery season into Novemeber. I realize that was a while ago but it was a direct result of grassroots efforts by UBP members. Almost every year the idea of taking it "back to the way it was" comes up. UBP has done a very good job of keeping that type of backward thinking nipped in the bud. All bowhunters should support the organization on that alone. It's not a perfect organization but there's a heluva lot more good done than bad.
Every organization has a few bad eggs. I personally have seen less of the elitist mentality lately than was there a few years ago.
