Pope & Young Club Has 2 New World’s Records
September 21st, 2007 David King - King's Outdoor World
The Pope & Young Club had their 25th Biennail Convention and Awards Banquet in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this past spring. During that awards banquet, there were two animals that were declared new world records.
Shawn Patterson’s Arizona elk that he arrowed in 2005 in Coconino County is now the new world record typical archery bull. Shawn’s bull officially scores 412 1/8 net P&Y typical. This bull exceeded the previous world’s record by almost three inches (409 2/8) taken by Chuck Adams in Rosebud, County, Montana in 2000. This is only the fifth 400 plus-inch typical American elk ever taken by a bowhunter. Shawn’s gigantic bull has 60-inch main beams and 56-inch inside spread.
Another world record is the Rocky Mountain Goat taekn by Shad Wheeler near Kalum Lake, British Columbia in 2006. Shad bested a world’s record that had stood for 18 years (42 4/8) by archer Lyle Willmarth in Park County, Colorado in 1988. Shad’s amazing Billy Goat is the new world record scoring 53 0/8 P&Y.
There was also another Mountain Goat that also topped the previous world record during this scoring period. This goat was taken by Allen Bolen in British Columbia as well and scores 52 6/8 P&Y.
