USA Indoor Finals bound

Me and Zackary Bissinger are headed to Vegas to shoot the USA Archery Indoor Final on Wednesday. Two dudes from the same shop in Iowa, Archery Field and Sports ready to take on the field! Zack is qualified 1st in the Barebow division and I am qualified 6th in the Compound division, so we can both come home winners! Wish us luck! Good luck to everyone else who made the finals, can't wait to get shooting!

Foley ASA

Foley is always a fun time, a little chillier this year and farther targets but still awesome. I didnt shoot so great day one with the skinny arrows and just in general forgetting how to shoot 3D targets 😂. Borrowed some arrows from and switched back to my Title 38 which the string angle fits my face a little better and improved a lot on day two but still need much more, excited for Ft Benning, but Vegas is first! Congrats to for making another shoot down! Thanks again to everyone who supports me.

60X Day one of NFAA Indoor Nationals. Yesterday I got to watch set a new world record and take gold! My performance wasn't as good but we made up for it today 😂. Now to watch Zack shoot compound today and the Team. I need one more 60X tomorrow and I make the shoot off, wish me luck!
and thanks for the pictures!

Trying to get locked in for NFAA Indoor Nationals and Indoor World Series in Chicago this weekend at the Archery Field and Sports Monday night league. Immediately after get home for one day then headed to Foley, Alabama for the first ASA of the year! Going to be a very quick adjustment but I am excited to shoot 60 yards and for all the shoots coming up!

6th at The Lancaster Classic 2025

An unbelievable and unexpected experience. I have been working hard for a long time to make it here, however I honestly expected to have to work even harder for a longer time before I would have this opportunity. I’ve been shooting super consistent the past month or more and knew I could do well. I viewed it all as a bonus after I made the stage so I wanted to go out and have fun - I was still incredibly nervous if you couldn’t tell but somehow shot some pretty decent arrows for my first time out if I do say so myself! I need to say thank you so much to so many people who helped me get here and cheered me on. The list is truly endless and I don’t want to leave anyone out so I will make sure to tell you in person but there are couple I have to mention here: my boss and , my coach and .wade my arrow agent, , Charlie Mundy and GVU, and Steve Lepic who unfortunately passed away just a few months ago and will be forever missed. Everyone who messaged me or spoke to me in person thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. Also congrats to you made a heck of a run! And congrats to all the others who made it to the finals or shot well this weekend! I don’t plan on this being my last trip to the finals and so it’s back to work for me, see you all in a couple weeks at NFAA Indoor Nationals and the Indoor World Series there!

Also special shout-out to and for the insane pictures! I cant thank you guys enough for preserving this memory for me!

I MADE IT TO THE BIG STAGE!!!!
Still kinda unbelievable. Definitely had some luck go my way. I was very nervous as usual, had my legs shake a few times. In the final match against Kyle I had a chance to win it outright but on the 2nd to last arrow shot a 10 low putting it to a shoot off. I really didn’t think I made that great of a shot , and looking over I thought he had and inside out, but it turned out I had done it! Thanks so much to absolutely everyone along this journey and to everyone sending messages while I’ve been out here and in person. Going in as #5 seed, let’s have fun now!!!

655 and 21st seed here at Lancaster Archery Classic 😅pretty tough competition. I’ve been sick since Wednesday but I still shot pretty close to my average today so I’m happy, and I’m always happy to make the cut 😂. I have a tough bracket tomorrow so wish me luck!

If this bow wasn’t forgiving my score last weekend would have been a whole lot worse I promise you 😂😭 Title 40

P.S. also the arrows! Thanks !

2025 USA Indoor Nationals

This is a shoot held in a bunch of different locations over many different weekends so I won’t know the final results until late February. I wasn’t too thrilled with my day one score but it was only one point from my average so I can’t complain but day two I sorta threw in the last few ends 😅 I did another come off the wall punch and sent it high right just like many other times unfortunately. I also struggled with nerves this tournament almost more than any other before, I handled it well for how it was feeling but just not fun to not live up to your potential. I still have a shot at making the top 8 USA Archery Indoor Final, but now it is out of my hands and I just have to hope. Much hard work lies between now and Thursday when I leave for Lancaster. See you all there, once again thanks for the support!
