How did you get into archery?
I first tried archery around the age of 8 during a school activity camp that lead to me driving my grandparents mad as I constantly wanted to make bows and arrows in the garden from branches I found after walking round the woods. It wasn’t until around the age of 10 when we discovered the local archery club shoot on my schools field and shortly after that I was signed up to start the club beginners course.

What advice can you give to up and coming new archers?
Make sure you’re shooting to have fun, it’s not all about the score.
You will get lots of advice from many people on your archery journey some bits might work for you other bits might not, we’re all individual so you can only give it a try! If it works make a note and over time you will create a checklist which you can reference when you shoot.
