Shooting a personal best first round of 30-up in Paris, Texas on Friday, Jacob Marlow (Scott Longhorn) finished Saturday’s final 20 targets strong for a spot in the Known Pro shootdown. There, he bested his opponents and finished in first place.
With similar success, Emily McCarthy (Scott Ascent, CBE Vertex) finished the first 20 targets in second place in the Women’s Pro class, shot strong on the final 20 to secure a 2-point, first place lead heading into the shootdown where she ultimately placed in second for the weekend.
“Last week I made the decision to use my Scott Ascent at the next ASA, knowing the only way to judge how well a piece of equipment is going to work for me is to put it under real tournament pressure,” said McCarthy. “After two days of competing, I found myself leading the tournament going into the shootdown, and while I misjudged a few targets, I couldn’t be happier about my decision to switch to this release – it’s such a smooth feeling hinge. I wish every piece of new equipment was this easy to set up and transition to!”

I don’t know how it works with today’s archers but years ago, when I was trying to find out where I belonged in the archery world, I got into target archery because of my love for bowhunting, and I’ll be the first to admit: target archery has helped me become a better bowhunter. The need for accuracy and the attention to detail has transferred into all of my bowhunting set ups. Choosing the correct hunting sight set up can also make you a better bowhunter by making sure you are prepared for your environment.
