Due to the GBA meeting being cancled here are the purposed tournament dates for the 2012. As of now only 3 shoots will be hosted by myself and the GBA, more shoots are in discussion. I have included the current local shoots hosted by the SC Upstate Bowfishing club and the SC State Shoot hosted by the SC Bowhunters Association to promote those shoots and provide everyone with opportunities to shoot through out the year. Attendence at the shoots is not required from the GBA but encouraged. If someone will step up and host a few shoots on the west side of the state that would be great. This would help the GBA in general grow to be an even larger group of folks. Thanks to SCUBC and the SC Bowhunters for allowing the GBA participation at your events.
If anyone wants to have another shoot added to the list or has better ideas please let me know. If someone wants to host any other tournaments for the GBA and needs help, please let me know.
Thanks Jonathan Redding
