Western Pennsylvania’s top JOAD archers gathered at Cabin Fever Archery this past Saturday for Shooter of the Year 2018.  Representing Falcon Archers were six of our best recurve archers.

In the first round of shooting, Emily and Michael enjoyed their bye, Seth and Cassie both advanced with a win, and sick-but-still-game Rhianna was eliminated.  Tommy’s match went down to a one-arrow shoot-off, but he also got eliminated by fractions of an inch.

In the second round, Cassie and Emily were both defeated.  Seth and Michael shot against each other, and this match also was decided with a one-arrow shoot-off, with Seth emerging victorious.

The finals are the real test of nerves, with two archers on the stage listening to a shot-by-shot call of their arrows.Seth kept his poise throughout, and finally won the tournament with a beautiful 10 – 10 – 9 end (shown below!).

Your 2018 Western PA JOAD Recurve Shooters of the Year:

Seth Butler, Jarrett Pilgrim, Emma Gruver and Emma Brunger.

WAY TO GO, SETH!
