Darton Archery, Black Eagle Arrows, and Conquest Archery celebrate a standout performance at the 2026 Lancaster Archery Classic, where staff shooters earned multiple podium finishes across Open Pro, Bowhunter, Masters, Senior, Women’s, and Youth divisions, highlighting the strength of precision equipment paired with elite level talent.
Leading the charge was Jacob Slusarz, who not only finished 2nd in Open Pro, but also qualified first overall in a field stacked with many of the sport’s most heavily backed factory shooters. Slusarz accomplished the feat shooting Darton’s new TriTech 35, demonstrating the bow’s competitive edge against a lineup dominated by large, factory-sponsored teams.
