WILLET Jr. leads the LONGINES Prize for Precision 2011

 The Swiss watch-maker LONGINES launched the LONGINES Prize for Precision for archery in 2010. Each year, the most precise archers of two categories win the trophy, a watch and a 5,000 Swiss Francs prize. This time the compound archers are in the race.   In 2011, the compound men and women athletes who shoot the most 10s during the individual qualifications and the matches as of the 1/16 eliminations of the World Cup will win the prize.   Thanks to his very impressive performance during match play, which awarded him two individual victories in the first two stages of the World Cup, WILLET Jr. piled up 193 tens, about 40 more than his closer trailers, Jorge JIMENEZ (ESA), 155, Reo WILDE (USA), 153, and Martin DAMSBO (DEN), 150.   On the women side, the current world champion and World Cup Final winner LOGINOVA was the most consistent archer with a 5th place in Porec and a bronze medal in Antalya. She has now 126 tens and a small lead over the winner in Antalya, Parsamehr MAHTAB (IRI), who shot 119 tens. Laura LONGO (ITA) has 110 and Erika ANSCHUTZ (USA), 105.   Here is the current top 10 in the men and women’s ranking after the World Cup Stage 2 in Antalya:   Compound Men Country Number of 10's   1 Willett Jr. Rodger USA 193 2 Jimenez Jorge El Salvador 155 3 Wilde Reo USA 153 4 Damsbo Martin Denmark 150 5 Hernandez Roberto El Salvador 134 6 Gellenthien Braden USA 128 6 Kazempoor Amir I.R.
