SUPERIOR, WI – July 2026 – USA Archery hosted its annual Rebel Gear Buckeye Classic on July 16–19 in Dublin, Ohio. Carbon Express was well represented at this event, with several top pros shooting 700s in the Men's Compound division.

Notable finishes included James "Jimmy" Lutz in Men's Compound, who took the top spot and earned a Gold Medal. Not only was this Jimmy's third podium at the USAT Series this year, but he has all but locked up the number 1 ranking heading into Outdoor Nationals and the US Open in August. Jimmy has also earned himself a spot in the Series Final with the win.

Lutz relied on his trusted setup featuring Carbon Express Nano Pro RZ 350 arrows, Shore Shot Tungsten Points, a Mathews TRX, and his TruFire^® Rivet release. Designed specifically for elite-level compound field and target archery, the Nano Pro RZ combines Carbon Express' proprietary Tri-Spine Weight Forward™ technology with 360° Spine Technology for unmatched consistency, faster recovery, and exceptional long-range accuracy. The Nano Pro RZ arrows will be available worldwide this month. Jimmy continues to inspire others, as the TruFire Rivet was also used by the bronze medal winner.

The Nano Pro was engineered for archers demanding ultimate precision and consistency. Featuring Carbon Express' laser-sorted spine technology and weight-matched construction, the Nano Pro is built to deliver repeatable performance shot after shot under the most demanding competition conditions.

Lutz has continued to have a strong 2026 season while showcasing the performance capabilities of Carbon Express arrows and TruFire releases at the highest levels of competitive archery worldwide. We wish Jimmy all the best in the next event!
