Jack and Sharon Wallace, husband-and-wife 3-D archers, took home top honors in their respective divisions at the fourth Archery Shooters Association (ASA) Pro/AM tournament in Appling, Georgia. Jack shoots for PSE Archery, while Sharon shoots for Mathews Archery.
With tough competition throughout the entire tournament, Jack’s final score of 425 gave him his first Men’s ASA Open Pro title of the 2019 season, accompanied by a check for $10,000. Coming in a close second was Jay Moon with a score of 422, and Dan McCarthy finished third with a score of 420.
Also making a trip to the top of the podium was Sharon Wallace, who claimed her second Women’s ASA Open Pro title for 2019 with 421, her personal best score. Accompanying her at the podium was Cara Kelly with a score of 413 and Emily McCarthy with a score of 402.
“This was an extremely exciting weekend for us,” said Jack Wallace. “It is great when either of us wins, but to take the podium at the same tournament is very special.”
Jack and Sharon Wallace are both sponsored by German Precision Optics (GPO), and after the event, Jack took time to specifically mention GPO binoculars. “We want to thank GPO for their support,” he said. “We don’t go anywhere without our GPO Passion 10x42s.”
About ASA 3-D Archery
ASA 3-D archery features competitive rounds shooting lifelike, three-dimensional foam animal targets. Amateur classes are decided by the final totals after 40 targets. Pro Classes shoot the same 40 targets and then the top five shooters in each Pro Class advance to a shootdown. During the shootdown, each archer shoots an additional six targets with a more difficult 14-point ring added to enhance the risk and reward for extreme accuracy. There are a total of six ASA tournaments each year.
