While Jamie remains loyal to his traditional recurve roots, he’s no stranger to versatility. His tournament wins span across recurve, longbow, Asiatic, and sighted compound disciplines. Where Jamie makes a difference is his vast knowledge and keen attention to detail. He loves to tinker and get everything set up properly to match the archer. Nothing better than having gear that is perfectly matched and performs every time, shot after shot.
