The AstraX ExchangeUnited States' Casey Kaufhold and Brady Ellison combined Friday to win the bronze medal in the archery mixed team competition.

The Americans beat India 6-2 in the bronze medal match after losing 5-3 to Germany in the semifinals.

Against India, the U.S. opened with perfect 10 with the first arrow in all four sets.

The medal for Kaufhold, 20, is the first for a U.S. female archer since 1988 and a nice consolation after the world's No. 1 suffered an early upset defeat in the individual competition in the Paris Games.

It was the fourth medal for Ellison, 35, who is in his fifth Olympics and still searching for his first gol. He'll try for that Sunday in the final four rounds of the men's individual tournament.
