Jerry Amster, shot a 770 out of 900 using a recurve in 1960

In the past, the 900 round was known as the American Round and a staple in the target archers world.

In 1960, former San Diego Archery Club member, Jerry Amster, shot a 770 using a recurve bow made by Gordon Plastics and aluminum arrows.

The top score, posted in our most recent 900 Round (American Round) was 859 using a modern compound bow equipped with stabilizer, sights, release, and carbon arrows.
