"We've always felt that the industry's manufacturers and shooters all agree that competitive archery plays an important role in the the growth of our industry and sport of archery, itself," said Levi Morgan, 9x ASA Shooter of the Year and Founder of the Organization of Professional Archery (OPA). "We knew it would take support from the industry and we're grateful to have 18 key brands stand behind this new tournament concept. It shows how much these manufacturers believe in the sport of archery and are willing to support it's future by helping the OPA reach a national platform."

Quick to act, Mossy Oak was the first to offer its generous support of Levi and Samantha Morgan's groundbreaking tournament concept and cause, taking on the important role of Presenting Sponsor.

Additional sponsors of the event include: Gold Tip, Lancaster Archery Supply, Hoyt Archery, QAD, Prime Archery, New Breed Archery, Shrewd, PSE Archery, Custom Bow Equipment, Excalibur, Scott Releases and BCY Bowstrings.

The 2016 Summit Invitational Presented by Mossy Oak is a product of the newly founded Organization of Professional Archery, established by Levi and Samantha Morgan, as an effort to give back to the sport which has provided so many opportunities for them, personally. The organization's key purpose is to bring elevated focus to professionals within the archery community and in doing so, grow interest in the sport, demand for archery-related products and services, and greater participation at all levels.

"Our goal was to create the first tournament format where the world's best competitors from every style of archery, whether 3D, NFAA, or others, can compete on an even playing field and shoot to win," said Morgan. "We worked hard to develop a platform for competitive archery, at its highest level, which youth and adults, can aspire to reach. Our purpose is to elevate the sport of archery to a new level. Without the support of our sponsors, we couldn't have made this happen."
