Letter From The Editor
BullShooter 33
Thanks to all the players that
came to the BullShooter 33
Finals. It was great to see every-
one over the weekend. The com-
petition was amazing this year in
both the men’s and women’s divi-
sions. I really have to say I saw
the best darts played in my whole
life! There were many perfect
games shot, and I couldn’t believe
the ease some of the Pro AA and
Women AA players shot triple
after triple, it was so exciting to
watch.
The International Team match
was played on Sunday with six
countries competing. The final
match was in the Bull Pen with
Team Canada and Team U.S.A.
competing. Last year Team U.S.A.
won the large International Cup
Trophy, but this year Canada
brought their best players and
won the Cup with excellent darts
to blow away the competition.
Congratulations Team Canada!
Next year Team U.S.A. will have
to get their A game going to win
the Cup back!
The BullShooter parties were
really fun this year. Hollywood
Productions was the DJ company,
with Johnny Lee Jenkins and Ron
Vroman. Players were able to re-
lax and have fun after the long
day of competition.
We will be starting our 34th
BullShooter Tour this fall. Be sure
to check out the new Regionals
that will be posted next month in
the BullShooter Magazine and on
our website at bullshooter.com.
Again thanks to all the players
for coming to BullShooter 33!
