The overall individual winners from both the Bulls Eye and 3D Tournament will receive a free custom-made bow courtesy of GFP. All students receive a free tournament T-shirt.
Students who participate in NASP within their schools or home school program are eligible for the competition.
“It is an honor for GFP to work in cooperation with local school districts on these tournaments.” stated Brandon Maahs, GFP’s NASP Coordinator. “Studies have shown that students who participate in NASP like school better and attend school more often. NASP is a positive partnership between GFP and local school districts.”
