Sponsorships at the worlds?
 

Just wondering how high in my class I'd have to finish at the worlds to get any big-time companies to know my name? I'm not talking a free ride or anything, but just some type of a nod my way. Also how should one go about becoming a "staff shooter"? Any advice would be welcome. Besides shooting good.

Yankee, If you view all forums on Bowhunting.net you will see one labeled ibo forum. Ask this question on that forum. Alot of 3-d shooters post their. They can help you out.

Being a great shot helps but it is not necessarily what the companies are always looking for when they evaluate potential staff shooters. They want a person who is outgoing, knowledgeable and are passionate about what they are doing. After all you are in a way selling their products.

Things that look good on your resume other then high scores and wins are volunteering, different organizations and clubs you belong to and especially helping out the new archers and youth programs.

Make up an archery resume and send it into some of the companies that interest you most. I can send you a copy of my resume if you would like to look it over for some ideas of your own.

Sponsorships are not that hard to come by if you really do love shooting and archery.

I would be glad to help you out if you have any specific questions.
