Congratulations to Madi Rhinevault of Pennsylvania on an outstanding accomplishment! 🏹🏆

Madi is proof that just because you leave school doesn’t mean you have to stop shooting that Genesis bow!

Madi was an extremely accomplished archer throughout her school years, and she has continued that success as an adult. Her hard work, talent, and dedication to the sport are a great example of the opportunities that exist for Genesis archers beyond their school years.

Congratulations, Madi, and thank you for your continued dedication and support of the IBO and the sport of 3D archery!

We’re proud to have you as part of the IBO family!
