At the 2025 IBO World Championships in Cacapon, WV, the Darton Archery, Black Eagle Arrows, and Conquest Archery team proved once again that when the stakes are highest, our shooters deliver.

Our team competed alongside some of the best archers in the world, highlighted by Jacob Slusarz’s victory in the Men’s Pro division. In the women’s pro field, Emily McCarthy took home the top spot, with Cara Kelly close behind, while several of our amateur shooters earned podium finishes of their own.

"The IBO Worlds brings together the very best from every corner of the sport, and our shooters rose to the challenge. From Jacob’s win in Men’s Pro to the wave of amateur class podiums, we’re seeing our team and our products perform at the highest level. The future is bright, and this crew is leading the way!" - Randy Kitts, owner of Black Eagle Arrows, Darton Archery, and Conquest Archery
