Scott Archery and Custom Bow Equipment shooters Kris Schaff and Braden Gellenthien are no strangers to the world stage, and proved it over the week in Antalya, Turkey for Stage Two of the World Cup.

Coming off impressive performances in South Dakota, Shanghai, Yankton, Vegas and Nimes earlier this year, Schaff and Gellenthien battled the wind and rain through qualifications on the beach in Antalya. The final medal matches were decided after the duo faced off against eachother in the semifinal, where Schaff bested Gellenthein in a shootoff. Schaff went on to win silver, and Gellenthein the bronze in their respective matches.

Gellenthien's medals in Antalya bring his overall World Archery podium count to 60, making him the most decorated archer in history. 

Earlier that afternoon, Schaff and Gellenthien, along with teammate Steve Anderson, joined forces in representing the United States against Korea in the compound men’s team final. The hard-fought match fell shy of perfection, but resulted in a silver medal for the team.

“Kris continues to prove he is one of the best in the world and is clearly getting better by banking all this experience – the sky is the limit for Kris,” said Darrin Christenberry, Scott/CBE pro staff manager. “Witnessing Braden at his best a few weeks ago at the South Dakota Classic was impressive, and no matter where he shoots (indoors or out), it’s clear he has his equipment dialed in and working on all cylinders. I anticipate we’ll see more incredible things from Kris and Braden in the coming weeks.”
