I have been going to this event for the past three years (I live only 15 mins from the Citrus WMA). Its a really relaxed atmosphere and a great time. They have vendors and booths set up and some door prizes and silent auctions ect.. I swiped the info below from a thread on another forum.

If youve ever wondered who is out there standing up for bowhunting in fla, these are the guys. If youve always wondered how you can make a difference for the future of bow hunting/ hunting, this is the group to JOIN. tHIS IS A non profit GROUP THAT RELIES ON DONATIONS AND MONIES RAISED AT THE jAMBOREE AND BY SELLING HAND PAINTED TARGETS. Most yrs the Directors go out of their own pockets to keep things going.They do it simply for the love of bowhunting.
We cannot survive without the support of bowhunters.

Around 1961, the Florida Archery Association's bowhunter members decided to establish a group or committee to pursue the idea of establishing a statewide archery hunting season in Florida. In order to form the committee to pursue this lofty goal, each of the affliated archery clubs was asked to designate a representative to serve on this committee. The committee made up of these representatives became known as the The Florida
Bowhunter's Council.
The FBC is an educational entity evolved in teaching and promoting responsible, ethical bowhunting. We are also a legislative watchdog involved in assessing and recommending legislative changes. proposed rule changes and lobbying on behalf of Florida Bowhunters.
The Council contributes to the state and national initiatives through active Director involvement in committees and panels, attendance of Florida Wildlife Commission meetings,it's legislative lobbying and membership or financial contributions to organizations withsimiliar interests, Florida bowhunters and their contact information for use in an emergency mobilization in support or opposition of critical bowhunting issues.
Our Bowhunter Jamboree has been the main source of fund raising for forty-five (45) years
and kicks off our annual membership drive.
