Back-to-back winner of the IBO World's in recurve unaided. Jason is just one of several archers who have proven you can be an outstanding target archer and hunter--doesn't have to be either-or.
Of course I asked what string he was using. He used BCY's 8190 Universal. He hadn't been using X long enough to be confident in making a switch before the big one.
:thumbsup: Congrats!
Well done Jason :thumbsup:

A friend emailed me about this thread, so I figured I should stop by and say thanks to everyone. The best thing about these events is the people you meet, the friendships that develop and the level of sportsmanship on display. I actually watched a competitor, John Demmer III, on the bowhunter challenge course call his own arrow out for eight after it was called in for ten and no one disputed it. I also saw several folks in shootouts for hundreds of dollars encourage their competitors and cheer each other on. Those are things you don't see every day. If I had a dollar for every time I heard people in my peer groups complement each other for making good shots my motel room would have been free.
Oftentimes these competitions come down to the wire, and the Recurve Unaided class this year was no different. After three solid days of competition, all three podium positions were decided on the last target—five points separated first from third. Shooting last in our peer group and scoring an 11 on a long, uphill deer target for the win was undoubtedly the toughest clutch shot I've ever had to make. I retired that arrow and hung it on my bow rack alongside the arrows from some of my favorite hunts.
I would strongly encourage everyone to attend next year's I.B.O. Traditional World Championship in TN. Whether you're a serious competitor or casual shooter, there's something for everyone. If nothing else it's a great opportunity to get excellent advice from folks who are as proficient on the target line as they are in the hunting woods, and are always willing to help anyone who asks. Belt buckles aside, the advice I've received in the two short years I've attended has been well worth the expense.

Congrats Jason.This was a unbelievable IBO. Some outstanding shooters head to head. We will be in New York in 2 weeks for the IBO World Open Championship. Sure to be a great time.
Not that it matters of course - but I am very curious - what kind of bow does Jason shoot?

My target and hunting setups are very similar. Both are metal risers with ILF limbs, elevated rests, plungers and clickers. The only real differences are my target bow is a little longer, has a short stabilizer, pulls 44# instead of 56# and shoots 5.5 gpp at 235 fps instead of 9 gpp at 200 fps.

Congratulations Jason! :thumbsup: :clapper:
WOW! congrats Jason. very impressive . good luck this season
Jason, Will we see you in NY at the IBO in August?
Unfortunately, I will not be in Ellicotville next month. It overlaps the IFAA World Field Archery Championship, and since that shoot only comes to this country every ten years I don't want to miss it.
Congrats on the win.
Good luck at the IFAA. Im sure as much as your liked there will be some that wont miss you.At the IBO. I will be in the Modern longbow class so I will miss you. :biglaugh: Congrats!
Thanks again, and good luck to you in NY.
