NIXA, MO — “I wanted to brag on one of our Archery competitors regarding his performance at Carthage High School this past weekend. One of our Let 4s, Andrew Smith, shot a score of 285/300. There were a total of 58 schools competing at this tournament from Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. A total of 886 students competed in the Bullseye event alone. Andrew placed 8th out of 491 boys and 14th out of the 886 total competitors who competed at this event.”

“That score placed Andrew in the top 1% overall for the tournament!”
