NIKA Archer Zhou Yingying Finishes 4th at the 2026 National U18 Archery Championships

The 2026 National U18 Archery Championships were held in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, from August 16 to 21, 2026. Making her debut at a national-level competition after just 18 months of training, young archer Zhou Yingying competed with the NIKA ET-19AL Riser paired with S+ Bloom Limbs, finishing 4th in both the qualification and elimination rounds of the U18 School‑group Women's Recurve event.

As her first national U18 championship, the result highlights Zhou Yingying’s consistency and potential as she takes an important step forward in her competitive archery journey.

The NIKA ET-19AL Riser used by Zhou is precision CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Its 25-inch design provides structural rigidity, stability, and balanced weight distribution, while the integrated damping system helps reduce vibration for consistent shooting performance.

The NIKA S+ Bloom Limbs feature a composite construction of high-modulus carbon, bamboo, and foam, using advanced multi-layer carbon fiber technology. The combination of bamboo and foam cores provides fast arrow speed and a smoother draw feel, while the integrated shock-absorption structure helps improve shooting stability and consistency.
