Team Mathews finished out the IBO season this past weekend competing in the IBO World Championship located in Berkley Springs, WV, crowning two World Champions and claiming seven podiums overall.

Team Shooters Emily McCarthy, Cara Kelly, and Kailey Pettepher swept the podium in the Pro Female (PRF) division, taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in an incredibly close race that came down to the wire. McCarthy’s victory this past weekend marks back-to-back IBO World titles with a Mathews TITLE in hand.

“Coming from two points behind two phenomenal shooters, Kailey and Cara, made this one a nail-biter,” stated McCarthy. “Their talent pushed me to dig deep, and I’m so thankful for the competition, the support, and this moment”.

In Pro Senior (PSR), Team Shooters Tim Gillingham and Rick Baker both produced outstanding performances claiming 1st and 2nd place. Gillingham shot an overall score of 497 and 17 X’s to take home the Pro Senior World Championship. Baker followed closely behind finishing with a 490 and 11 X’s.

Rounding out a great event, Team Shooters Levi Morgan and Dan McCarthy secured 2nd and 3rd place in Pro Men’s (PMR), capturing two additional podiums for Team Mathews. Morgan shot a great event only falling 3-points short of the lead.

“The IBO World Championship lived up to all our expectations,” said Derek Phillips, Mathews Pro Staff Manager. “Securing two World Championships and dominating the Pro Female division is a powerful reflection of the team’s skill, commitment, and the reliability of our equipment”.
