The 2026 ASA season came to a close with a strong showing from #TeamBeeStinger at the ASA Classic in Cullman, Alabama.
After a competitive year on the ASA circuit, Kyle Douglas and Tim Gillingham delivered strong finishes against some of the best archers in the sport. Both athletes relied on Bee Stinger Premier Plus stabilizers to provide the balance and control needed throughout the season.
Kyle Douglas Wins Known Pro and Shooter of the Year
Kyle Douglas finished the ASA season at the top of the Known Pro division, claiming the championship at the ASA Classic in Cullman with a 528 score.
The victory capped off an incredible season for Douglas, earning him 2026 ASA Shooter of the Year honors after finishing with five wins and one second-place finish throughout the year.
Reflecting on his season, Douglas shared:
"Double Dip! ASA Classic Champion & Shooter of the Year.
This ASA season was one to remember for me! This win at the Classic capped off the season and I finished with 5/6 wins and a 2nd place. Pretty unreal against the group of guys we have in known pro.
Friday started out awesome with a 34 up round. I had a slow start with 12-10-10-10 and then got things figured out and hit the last 16 12’s in a row. Saturday didn’t go quite as smooth and was one of those days where I was so close to a really good score but just couldn’t quite get there.
Luckily my round from Friday carried me through into the shootoff with a 6 point lead. You can never seem to have enough of a lead to be comfortable against these boys but I was able to do what I needed to in the shootoff and came out on top.
2026 ASA season was one for the books!"
Throughout the season, Douglas relied on his Bee Stinger Premier Plus stabilizer setup to provide the balance and control needed to execute at the highest level of competition.
Tim Gillingham Earns Senior Known Pro Podium Finish
Tim Gillingham added another podium finish to his ASA season, placing third in Senior Known Pro with a 487 score.
Throughout the season, Gillingham relied on Bee Stinger Premier Plus stabilizers to help maintain a steady hold and consistent shot execution through the demanding ASA circuit.
