Team Shooters
Minnesota’s Gould Brothers Exhibition Team or GBX features spirited, trick shooters Aaron and Steve Gould.
Meet The Gould Brothers
Both Gould brothers are true-to-life personalities, who publish their struggles with faith and personal holiness. The Gould Brothers promote hunting, conservation, safety and “living with a purpose” -gbxshooting.com
Game Fair
America’s most personal and engaging sporting convention, Game Fair easily outclasses other shows. Held outdoors, towards the fall, Game Fair is an example of the European tradition for sporting expositions called “Country Shows” or “Game Fairs”.
Naturally set in America’s interior and Upper Midwest, Game Fair is a neutral site for this national convergence of Field Sports and is a worthwhile travel destination.
