gold tip®, the industry leader in carbon arrows and bolts, congratulates the team’s shooters on their strong performance at the 2023 NFAA Indoor Nationals, held March 24-26 in Louisville, Kentucky. Shooters from the Gold Tip team dominated the field, winning both the men’s professional and senior professional divisions, in addition to the men’s and women’s amateur divisions.
Newcomer to Team Gold Tip Levi Reitsma took the top spot in the Pro Division after a tense tiebreaker with 20 of the best male archers in the sport. After achieving a perfect score of 600 with 120X in the qualifying round, Reitsma was able to stay out of the field to take first place. His teammate Kyle Douglas was ranked number two. Both team members opted to use Gold Tip Triple X Pros in the qualifying round, later switching to Gold Tip Pierce Tour in the tiebreaker.
“Most pro shooters choose big-diameter shafts like Gold Tip’s Triple X Pros for their qualifying rounds, but when it comes to the shootout, the scoring shifts to ‘inside-out’ scoring,” said Tim Gillingham, manager of the shooting staff for Gold Tip and Bee Stinger. . “That’s where smaller diameter arrows like Pierce Tours come in. ‘Inside out’ means that if you touch the score line you get the lowest value”.
Meanwhile, in the Senior Pro competition, Gold Tip Pro Staffer Randy Morocco took first place after switching to Gold Tip shafts just two tournaments ago. Morocco became the only senior pro shooter to shoot a perfect 600 with 120X and a first place win. Gold Tip teammate Jimmy Butts took third place in the Senior Pro division.
Team Gold Tip also came out on top in both of the amateur divisions of the competition. Christian Clark won the Amateur Men’s while his teammate Meg Curtis won the Amateur Women’s.
