Team Mathews recently claimed five podium spots at the ASA Pro/Am in London, Kentucky, including first in Men’s Open Pro, first and second in Women's Open Pro, and first and third in Men's Known Pro.
Levi Morgan took top honors in the Men's Open Pro Division scoring 494 with a total of 20 12-rings for the weekend. His win came down to a final arrow that found it’s mark in the 14-ring. “This game is unreal,” Morgan said. “With every shot in the shoot down, the pressure builds. Unlike most sports that feed off of adrenaline, you have to learn to keep those feelings in check until it’s over. It was a heck of a battle.”
In Women’s Open Pro, Kailey Johnston of Team Mathews dominated the weekend with a final score of 464. In Men’s Known Pro, Team Mathews shooter Justin Hannah was able to hold off his competitors for first with a final score of 508 with 26 12-rings.
Tim Gillingham With Back-to-Back Wins
Fresh off his win at the 1st leg of the IBO National Triple Crown, Bowtech shooter Tim Gillingham took the ASA Senior Pro Division in London, Kentucky.
Shooting his Bowtech Reckoning 38, Gillingham was putting up great scores on the first day, but unfortunately a bumped trigger on his release sent one sailing for a zero. He dug back out and finished tied 2 points from the lead. Day 2, Gillingham fought back from an early 5 point shot, finishing 5 points ahead of the pack. During the shoot-off, he pounded the 12-ring, taking home the win.
When asked about his performance, Gillingham said, “It was an up and down weekend going from absolutely shooting lights out the first 10 on Friday, accidentally shooting a zero, to getting back in the top 3 by the end of the round. Saturday started a little rough, but I shot 12s on my last two targets to take the lead and had a solid performance.”
