Morgan Rives proved herself on one of archery’s biggest stages at the Vegas Shoot. For the first time in the event’s history, the Championship Compound Female competition featured a five-way shootdown, breaking from the traditional head-to-head format.

Morgan, alongside Alexis Ruiz and Taylor Miller, made history by becoming only the 10th, 11th, and 12th women in the 60-year history of the Vegas Shoot to shoot a perfect 900. Reflecting on the milestone, Morgan said, “I shot a perfectly clean 900, I’ve never shot higher than 898 in Vegas before. For me to just be able to shoot and score as well as I was shooting, I couldn’t have been happier.”

Heading into the shoot-down, Morgan stayed calm and focused. “After I dropped my first X, my only goal was to make a podium finish, and I did just that. I took it one X at a time… I shot three clean X's to secure that position.” Her strategy and composure helped her climb onto the podium, finishing in 3rd.
