During the 24th Recording Period of the Pope & Young Club (1/1/03 - 12/31/04) a record 8,071 records were entered into the archives. This was 687 more entries than the last largest period. A testament to improved opportunity for North American Bowhunters.

During this Period, five new World Records were unveiled. We photographed the World Records and they are presented below. Our congratulations (and extreme "envy" ) to the five lucky and skillful bowhunters who raised the bar...
