    Notable
    Mike is the Vice President of Winner's Choice Bowstrings and has known many of the archers since before GOG began. He says there are only a few new faces to the competition, so he is familiar with most of his competitors and he tries to play off of their weaknesses. He was 18 when he first met one of his fellow competitors and good friend, Wayne Endicott. He used to be very competitive in air rifle and was 4th in the world at age 12.

    Quotable
    "I was very disappointed with my results last year. I came in to win it. Practice day was windy, so I prepped for a windy competition day and the wind turned out not to be a factor. I had bad nerves. This is my 3rd year, and I'm more confident than ever. If anything beats me this year, it's the pressure."
