What good does it do any way? I have submitted requests to the powers that be and all I was told was, I’ll look into it!
If I am really, really, really bored, I check this site.
No one cares or wants to do their part, anymore.

I’ve talked to folks in sporting goods stores down this way, and they have nothing good to say about our orgazation. SAD!

Johnny, I really want to find fault in your comments; that is to say, if every word weren’t true! Regarding what folks are saying in sporting goods stores about BHA, I’m not really surprised by that either. Up this way, I dare say, the vast majority of pro shops, sporting goods stores, etc., have never even heard of us! A little while back, I called one of OUR SPONSORS regarding an item I was interested in buying, to see if by chance they had one in stock. While I had the gentleman on the phone, I thought it appropriate to express BHA’s gratitude for everything they do in helping us! To my shock, the gentleman replied, “…..now, you’re with who????”

Maybe it’s the economy….who knows! Personally (and this is just my opinion), I think it’s a complete and total apathy for anyone & everyone except the individual themselves! We live in the “Pepsi Generation”, where no one cares for anyone but themselves, and anytime it requires an effort, i.e., working, helping, personal sacrifice, whether it be burning a little gas, nursing a few sore muscles, or whatever, you can forget it!

However, in an attempt to “take the high road”, I’m really thankful for the faithful few that persevere, and are passionate about what we do, and what we stand for! I know it’s quiet on this site during the non-tournament season! But, I’m hoping that’s because the very few real bowhunters that we have are busting their humps trying to put meat in the freezer! Then, I’m sure there are those that have more of a “life” in a “real world”, than one sitting and vegetating here in the “cyber-world”!

Folks, it is what it is! Like it or not, even though 3D was not what BHA was founded on, it has evolved (or “digressed”, just depends on who’s speaking) into primarily a 3D organization. When 3D season opens back up, we’ll return to a hustling, bustling website once again.
