Meet the Executive Board of Directors

Justin Befort
President
akstatearcherypres@gmail.com
Term 2022
“Konnichiwa” fun fact, not only is Justin well versed in many things Archery he is also fairly fluent in Japanese. When not at the Archery Range he most likely can be found at a car meet up. Does anyone know how to say Rocket in Japanese?

Bernie Punzalan
punzalan-ks@att.net
NFAA State Director
Term 2022
Known for changing his strings the day of a tournament and still win, Bernie's Archery is on target. If he is not tweaking his equipment he is making sure everyone's paperwork is in order for the next tournament.
Glad to have him on our team!
Glad to have him on our team!

Jesse Kreger
Vice President
akstatearcheryvp@gmail.com
Term 2021
He makes tough decisions during the day, so his role as VP will be no problem. Best way to describe Jesse is, he just likes getting out there and getting it done. Whether it is a long hike with his family, tackling getting a tournament setup or just working on laying down a 300 he is always moving.

He started shooting at the age of 10 with his dad. Hunted in Michigan until the age of 18 when he joined the Air Force and took a break from archery. After retiring from the Air Force picked his bow back up again with his son Fischer. They both got into tournament Archery. He continually works on honing his Archery skills, so watch out y'all he is starting to take some top podium positions.
