Back from Bow Hunting Show

Home > Back from Bow Hunting Show

I spent the weekend at the North Carolina Bow Hunters Association show out at the State Fairgrounds and had a great time. This was the first year they held a 3 day event and moved it to a much larger venue. For the first year in this type of a venue I think it went alright. Although I never heard an attendance announced it was lower then many of the other shows I’ve attended but it takes some time to build up a following.

Although the number of vendors was low there was a broad spectrum of vendors from Guides and Outfitters to archery equipment dealers, call makers and North Carolina Wildlife Commission had a nice display. They conducted a 3d shoot competition all weekend as well as having a shooting area set up to allow youngsters the opportunity to shoot a bow.

With some tweaking and a little better PR campaign I think this will become a great show.

Hey Moose…I know what you mean about “growing an Organization”. I was on the Board of Directors for the Louisiana Bowhunter’s Ass’n back from 1974-1986 and it really takes a BO effort, every day of the week to make a GREAT organization…let alone setting up,and expanding a Bowhunting Show or event in order to gain prominence. But a concerted effort by all members can really make a difference. The LBA went from a local group of about 12 members to a State=wide organization of over 650 members in about 6 years. Good Luck and God Bless.
