Two world records at Canadian Indoor Championships Lausanne – 10 March 2011 Christopher PERKINS (photo © D. Trillus)    On the occasion of the Canadian Indoor Championships on 6 March 2011 the compound young archer Christopher PERKINS (CAN) shot a new world record with a score of 599 points. Dietmar TRILLUS also shot an indoor world record for the compound masters' category with 594.   PERKINS, who will turn 19 in May, just missed the X10 with the first arrow of the very last 3-arrow end; otherwise he would have shot a perfect 600 score! With 599 points he has set both a new senior and junior world record at 18 metres. Among PERKINS's major outdoor performances so far, he finished 4th at the Cadet World Championships 2008 and 2009.   Outdoor world champion in 2007 and World Cup winner 2008, TRILLUS improved by four points (new: 595 – previous: 591) his own indoor compound masters men's world record he already set at the Canadian Indoor Championships in Caledon exactly one year before.   World Archery and the whole archery community congratulate the two archers for such an amazing achievement!   World Archery Communication
