Never been sponsored, never claimed to be a world champion(met a few hundred while working in an archery shop though...most didn't know what a peep sight was....hehehe), and for whatever reason....never placed first or second in a local match(usually less then 30 shooters).
I've been shooting 3D tournaments since the early 90's. I have never been a sponsored shooter but I've placed in my share of tournaments. I just do it for fun and practice, though.
