Three years into his S3DA journey, Vincent Stewart has earned the title of 2026 Male Young Adult Barebow Western National Shooter of the Year! 🏆 But he's not done working toward what's next. Vincent has set a goal to practice even more and continue improving his form as he looks for ways to grow as an archer.
For Vincent, practice is about more than repetition. He enjoys it because it feels similar to shooting in a tournament, just in a much more relaxed and comfortable environment. That gives him the chance to focus on his technique, build consistency, and keep sharpening his skills without the pressure of competition.
Here's something you might not know about Vincent: he used to shoot compound before switching to barebow! His archery journey has taken him in a new direction, and he's continuing to make the most of it.
When he's not on the range, Vincent enjoys camping and hunting with a traditional bow. Camping also means making time for a family activity called stumping — shooting at old, rotting stumps for fun! It's a unique way to enjoy the outdoors together and make memories beyond competition. 🌲🏹
Congratulations, Vincent, on an outstanding season and on being named the 2026 Male Young Adult Barebow Western National Shooter of the Year! Here's to continued growth and great outdoor adventures!
