Through its trading arm, Artemis Productions, the Association publishes the oldest bowhunting/archery magazine in Australia, ( originally named "The Australian Bowhunter") which is the official information medium for members. Now named "Archery Action with Outdoor Connections" the magazine is distributed to members as a part of membership, and also to the public at large through Australia wide newsagents. Members and public contributions are welcomed by the magazine and a writer's fee is payable for submitted hunting or archery related stories. The magazine also provides an opportunity for Clubs to publish articles, free of charge, under the "Club Scene" column.
