The world record for the longest accurate shot in archery is 230 yards and is held by Matt Stutzman, a member of the 2012 U.S. Paralympic archery team, who was born without arms.
The previous record holder for this title was an able-bodied person.
Feeling confident before the attempt, Stutzman said: “I have lot of dreams. One of my dreams is to break the world record, and that dream will come true today.”
The record attempt took place during a three-day MJP Pro Intensive Training program alongside other athletes including paratriathlete Melissa Stockwell, Tatyana McFadden (a four-time Paralympian in track and field who has notched up 11 Paralympic medals), and Lex Gillette (who holds the current Paralympic record in the long jump).
