Team USA competed this past weekend at Archery World Cup Stop #2 in Shanghai, China, where Carbon Express® Pro-Staff archer James "Jimmy" Lutz once again delivered an impressive performance on the world stage.
Lutz competed in two compound gold medal matches during the event, helping Team USA secure a Silver Medal in the Men's Team competition and a Gold Medal in the Mixed Team event alongside teammate Alexis Ruiz.
Competing against the best archers in the world, Lutz relied on his trusted setup featuring Carbon Express Nano Pro RZ 350 arrows, Shore Shot Tungsten Points, and his TruFire® Rivet release. Designed specifically for elite-level compound field and target archery, the Nano Pro RZ combines Carbon Express' proprietary Tri-Spine Weight Forward™ technology with 360° Spine Technology for unmatched consistency, faster recovery, and exceptional long-range accuracy. The Nano Pro RZ and Nano Pro X-Treme arrows will be available worldwide later this month.
"Jimmy continues to prove why he is one of the best compound archers in the world," said Erik Bramble, Tournament & Pro-Staff Manager for Carbon Express. "To see him competing for gold medals on the international stage while trusting Carbon Express Nano Pro RZ arrows and his TruFire Rivet release says a lot about both his confidence and the performance of the equipment. We're proud of everything Jimmy has accomplished this season and excited to continue supporting him as the year progresses."
The Nano Pro RZ was engineered for archers demanding ultimate precision and consistency. Featuring Carbon Express' laser-sorted spine technology and weight-matched construction, the Nano Pro RZ is built to deliver repeatable performance shot after shot under the most demanding competition conditions.
Lutz has continued to have a strong 2026 season representing Team USA while showcasing the performance capabilities of Carbon Express arrows and TruFire releases at the highest levels of competitive archery worldwide.
