Overview
Mission
Mabc-sci has three primary charitable areas of interest: education, humanitarian, and conservation. The organization conducts at least one educational project annually including, but not limited to, the areas of wildlife management, conservation, wilderness survival techniques, firearms use and safety, archery, game identification, safe hunting procedures, and hunting regulations. The organization conducts or participates in at least one humanitarian project and local conservation project or program annually or finds a non-hunting-related project deemed to help promote positive community relations. Membership activities in these areas are for people to experience the outdoors and to grow and retain membership while driving awareness in both the hunting and greater community.

Jude crush'n clays to support st. Jude hospital, and a veteran's archery program in partnership with the ward burton wildlife foundation.
