Christopher Perkins, a member of our club, just shot another world senior compound record today in the USA. Yesterday, he broke his own world junior record! He shot 710/720.
Today, out of a possible 720 points standing at 70 meters and shooting on a 122cm face (10 ring to 5 ring only), Christopher shot 715! Unbelievably good shooting! The former record, held by Dietmar Trillus (CAN) was 714.
Congratulations, Christopher!
