2018 ASA Classic Pro/Am: Tournament Winner Garrett Ayersman has been shooting competitively for over a decade. When he isn’t on the road for a shoot or bow hunting, Garrett works out of his family-owned, full-service archery shop called the Sportsman’s Refuge. “It was always my dad’s dream to own an archery shop. When I was 5 years old, my family moved to Cheat Lake and started Sportsman’s Refuge. I’ve had so many amazing opportunities because of it and the store has opened so many doors for me and helped me develop as both a shooter and a hunter. It is because of this bow shop that I made the decision to compete. My dad introduced me to the world of competitive archery when I was 11 years old. He took me to a big 3D shoot and from that moment on, I was hooked. I gave up all of the sports and activities I had been participating in and I put my entire life into archery. It’s a lifelong passion and I’m blessed to be able to share it with my family. There is nothing like getting to the shop early and shooting my bow before helping my mom and dad open up the shop. I have a strict training schedule when I’m in the competition circuit, but nothing clears my mind like sending some arrows down range. It’s the perfect start to my day.”
