EARL PAUL GOOD
January 19, 1924 -
AN ARCHER

Born in West Virginia, Earl moved to Hobartmills, California in 1926, moving to Sacramento soon thereafter.

Earl's introduction into Archery was as a spectator at a state tar8et championship tournament in 1958. For the next 25 plus years Earl became an active force in Archery, first in Northern California then statewide.

An Active Person:
- Earl joined the Sacramento Archers in 1959. He served two four-year terms as their President.

- Inaugurated with the city of Sacramento a 4th of July Target Tournament and for over 20 years served as principal coordinator between the city and his club.

- Served as President and principal spokesman for the California State Archery Association until its merger with field archery in 1967. As a result California Bowmen Hunters and Field Archery Association then became California Bowmen Hunters and State Archery Association.

- After the merger of Target and Field State Archery Association, Earl served as Vice President in charge of Target Archery 1967 - 1970, 1977 - 1979. He brought a standardization of target archery to CBH-SAA.

- Served on Board of Directors of the California Archery Hall of Fame from early in its conception to date.

- Helped start many young people in Archery.

In recognition for his efforts the Sacramento Archers and California Bowmen Hunters and State Archery Association awarded Earl Life Membership.

Primarily competing in the Barebow divisions, as a shooter, Earl won the Barebow Championship at the 1966 National Target Tournament in Flagstaff, Arizona. Although he did compete in countless tournaments, in Earl's words, he was just an archer. His enjoyment in Archery was from helping others and shooting with good friends.

Earl's over 20 years of contributions to Archery in California can best be sunned up as 'He was there and gave of himself - He was a doer.'
