To begin this episode of CNTV News, Brad and Quin meet champion archer and proud Chickasaw citizen Griffin Witty. Griffin holds the number one spot in the nation for the under 21 fixed pin men's archery competition. He shares what inspires him to compete and how the years of practice have taught him determination, consistency and what it means to be an athlete. "I think all those years of not winning ... that's pushed me to become a better archer," he says. "The people who beat me, they motivate me to become better in the long run." Archery holds deep significance for the Chickasaw Nation and Griffin is proud to continue that legacy with his success and athleticism.
