LSBA used to sponsor a state bowfishing tournament every year. We got out of it about 1998 because of a couple of problems. One of the problems was getting people to help. With only 18 members on the EC someone has to be a real died in the wool bowfisher or it's not going to get worked. If members want this and are willing to step forward then it could be a good thing.

The other main reason we got out of the bowfishing business is that the touranaments got to be big money affairs and most of the folks in the state tournament were coming in from out of state.

I'm with Biggen in that I'd love to have an LSBA bowfishing fellowship get together with a fish fry (as in flounder or Tilapai).

I'm in favor of promoting any type of bowhunting so I also wouldn't mind LSBA getting back into a fun bowfishing tournament format, provided that there are enough volunteers from the ranks to support these. We could also have articles and devote some space to it in the magazine.
