At the 2026 State Games of America, organizers merged two archery tournaments into a single 10 hour day. Anne Abernathy, 73, was the only archer who attempted both. She credits her gold metal in archery to photobiomodulation.

She won both, and posted the highest recurve score of the day of any archer on the field, male or female. Archery asks for exactly what people are told to expect less of with age: sustained attention, precise repetition, composure under pressure.

Anne shot 204 arrows across 10 hours in the heat, and put five of her final six in the gold. Her score rose to 747, up from 735 at her last competition in 2025

The Vielight Neuro has been part of Anne’s daily routine through a year of rehabilitation and her return to competition.

“I would not have attempted a challenge of this magnitude without Vielight.”
