I won that competition with an 899-73X score. In 2009 I finished 7th at the First Dakota Classic in Yankton S.D.

James Harden of Davie, FL, picked up archery in college in 1979. He was later injured in 1992 in Hurricane Andrew, which caused him to take some time off. He began shooting again in 1999 and hasn’t been able to stop since. He’s been competing in 3D and paper for the last several years. He retired in April of 2009 after serving more than 28 years as a law enforcement officer in South Florida. Now that he’s retired, it gives him the time he needs to concentrate on archery.

James is currently a staff shooter for Archery’s Best Edge, which is a pro shop located in Miami, Florida. He’s also sponsored by National Armory in Pompano Beach, FL. They allow me to shoot indoors in the gun range when the weather is bad. I also belong to two archery clubs, Gold Coast Archers, located in Palm Beach County, FL and Everglades Archers, in Miami, FL. Also sponsored by Dr. Paul Grillo of Correct Care Chiropractic located in Coral Springs, Florida. "He keeps me shooting straight!"
