In the world of archery — where precision, consistency, being able to focus and staying calm under pressure meet physical strength and endurance — Taylin Myers is taking the sport by storm.

At just 13 years old, Taylin Myers is already making her mark in the world of competitive archery. An 8th grader at Yoakum Junior High School and a proud member of the DeWitt County 4-H Club, Taylin has been turning heads with her precision, dedication, and record-breaking performances.

Taylin said as a little girl she would shoot a single green bow from time to time. Taylin began her archery journey in 2021, at the age of 9, while in the 5th grade. She credits Amanda Cowey, wife of Dewitt County 4-H archery coach Gary Cowey, for giving her that initial push into the sport competition — a nudge that clearly paid off. Starting with a Genesis bow set up as a compound, Taylin has since advanced to shooting a Darton Exodus, currently pulling 45 lbs.
