Congratulations to Jessarae on her huge accomplishment as 2016 National Grand Champion.

A message from Jessarae:

I wanted  to say “Thank you” For all that you have done for me this year! And how much I appreciates the work and quality of the strings you make! Truly without a Top notch string like XitWire that can handle high temps, humidity, rain and lots of rain then scorching heat down in Alabama it is a true Testament to your company that does not go untold!!

Thanks Again!

How are you? I’m fine and my outdoor season is going so good … I am doing the selections for the world field championship and at these moment I am in a good position. Two weeks ago I won the second leg of the Field Grand Prix and during this weekend I will have the last leg (obviously I will let you know). During the competitions I always receive some questions about the strings and I hope you had some feedback from Italian shooters.    After I tried the new X-itWire Magnum on my first bow I am having some difficulty with the setup of the second bow. I don’t know why but it seems to be less stable than the Magnum …. This is my last idea because the strings are the only difference between the bows. Maybe you can have some other idea …… Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Best Regards
Andrea

The women’s team compound competition at the 2013 World Archery Championships took place from 29 September–6 October 2013 in Belek, Turkey.

18 countries entered the full quota of 3 archers into the qualification round, thus becoming eligible for the team competition. The combined totals of the 3 archers from each country in the qualification round were added together, and the 16 teams with the highest combined scores competed the elimination rounds.

The gold medal was won by second seed Colombia.
