PSE Spotlight

Each week, PSE spotlights one of our amazing dealers or staff shooters. This week it’s young up and coming PSE shooter, Kyle Douglas…

Shooter: Kyle Douglas from Harrisville, UT

Bow: PSE Xpression – Shooting PSE: 6 years

 

 

1. How did you get into archery?

I started it in a kid’s league and then transitioned into bowhunting. Eventually, I started doing local tournaments and things just kept going from there.

2. Why do you shoot PSE?

When I was first getting into target archery I tried a bunch of different bows and nothing felt as good as the PSE. Their bow designs just fit me best. I like the way they shoot and they’ve always worked out for me…I’ve never thought about switching to anything else.

3. Do you hunt as well?

Yep. I love hunting elk, it’s my favorite game by far.

4. Do you prefer indoor tournaments, Field Archery or 3D?

I don’t have a preference; I need all the experience I can get. I shoot whatever is available to me locally, I’ve shot Vegas, Lancaster, ATA, some outdoor target stuff. Right now I shoot everything I can.

5. What’s your proudest moment as a competitive archer?

Winning Young Adult in Vegas back in 2015.

6. What advice would you give other competitive archers just starting out?

There are so many different thing you can focus on…getting your bow set-up correctly is an easy one. But my biggest piece of advice is to find a coach you trust and focus on their advice. Sometimes you can get to the point where you listen to too many people and things can get jumbled. Pick one good coach and stick with their advice.

7. What are your goals for the next five years of competition?

Get more experience. Compete at the highest level every shoot. Podium at some high profile events.

8. What makes the PSE brand unique in your opinion?

They stand behind their product, and they have something to offer for everyone. Top level professional shooters, kids, traditional archers. PSE does it all and stands behind every product.

Thanks to Kyle Douglas for taking the time out to speak to us this week. Best of luck at your next shoot, Kyle!

This was the first year Brigham Bowmen had added money to the competition!! It was so fun to see all the great shooters that came to our home town shoot. Shawn had approached the board and asked if they would be willing to add some money in hopes of bringing some big pro's to the shoot. It worked and we had a great turn out!!!. He asked for $1,00.00 to be added and when they went to vote a board member challenged them to add $1500.00. It was so awesome! Shawn and I decided it would be fun to donate the buckles for the shoot! I'm thinking this maybe a fun tradition for us.

 

 

 

 

World Archery Festival Las Vegas 2017

The boys with Pete Shepley. The owner of PSE.

Kyle with the big wigs of PSE Blake Shelby and Bobby Vargas.

Looking at this I am amazed. My Kyle is shooting right along with the best of the best! His hero's.

We had a fun time with family and friends. The boys both did good but feel they could have done better. Kyle shot a 300/300 day #1, 299/300 day #2 and 299/300 day #3. Kolt shot 293/300 day #1, 291/300 day #2 and 289/300 day #3. 

Lancaster Classic-Pennsylvania 2017

Kyle shot strong in Lancaster. He was able to make the elimination brackets and shot good again today although he was eliminated by 1 X. Looking through the brackets and seeing him shoot and hold his own right along with the best of the best in the archery world is so rewarding. I still remember his 1st day of kindergarten and how he was so shy and timid. Shawn and I bribed him that if he would get on the school bus and go to school then when he got home we would buy him a compound bow like Shawn's. Never in a million years would I have thought archery would become his passion. The people we meet and the places we go and all the memories along the way are priceless. I am so thankful I get to tag along and watch him chase his dreams.
