As equipment and popularity continually grow in the compound discipline, it feels as if it is only a matter of time before the perfect 720 is struck at 50 metres and Garcia is the closest so far.
That may come as a surprise as the 2024 Pan American champion is outside of the top 10 rankings in 16th with the likes of number one Mike Schloesser and number two Fullerton dominating outdoor settings in recent years and France’s Nicolas Girard becoming World champion last year.
He of course needed to put in the work to make that happen but gaining insightful knowledge off the new Vegas Shoot compound women victor Ella Gibson has undoubtedly benefitted him.
The couple have been together since the latter half of 2025 and Garcia credits much of his improved bow set up in the build up to the trials and the World Cups to the former world number one.
“Ella has taught me a lot of stuff in the bow that I could do by myself now. So even though she wasn’t with me, sometimes I would ask her, ‘Hey, this is happening, please help me,’ but 1775698930 most of the time I can do it by myself, so it’s been easier than other years, I think.”
“Mostly my drawing, my poundage, the holding weight, the timing in my cams – all of that affects how I aim, how they land, how much I move my rest, all of that,” he responded when asked whaty exactly Gibson has aided him in. “Also for outdoors now I am shooting a 37 bow, and for indoors I was shooting a 40-inch bow, so that was also different. I had to move weight, it was complicated, but I think my setup was good.”
“Honestly, I think it’s the best one I’ve ever had.”
Garcia’s recent improvements have also come from regular words of belief from his girlfriend and his parents.
