I’ve had some fantastic archery news in the last week!
First of all, I received an email from Mat Symmonds, president
of the Welsh Field Archery Association – saying that I have been selected
for a position on the Welsh Field Archery Squad for 2013! So next year I will be able to represent Wales on the field circuit
as an official member of the team J
Woohoo!
The other bit of news is.. I am now a sponsored pro-staff shooter! I sent an
email to Wales Archery Specialists a little while ago enquiring about the
possibility for sponsorship. I’ve always been impressed by the service
they offer and recommend everyone to their shop. As I have been doing so well
in a lot of competitions recently, and shooting on a par with many sponsored archers I thought the time was right to ask if I could represent and promote Wales Archery in an
official capacity and join their shop team, and they have agreed! So I am now
on the Welsh squad, and a Wales Archery Specialists pro-shooter – what a
result!
I am absolutely over the moon! This is what I have been
hoping for and working towards all year, spending a lot of time and effort
improving my game and attending as many shoots as I can to raise my rankings
and now with this news, it has all been worth it! J
I am visiting Wales Archery on Friday to pick up a few bits
and pieces I need, and they have a pro shooters shirt there ready for me, so I will
be able to wear the Wales Archery colours at the Nationals in Coventry this weekend, the
biggest indoor shoot on the UK circuit – one hell of a debut! My usual
scores on that round are 565-70 and the cut last year to make the top 32 archers in the head to head shoot off was around 560 so with any luck I may get into the final... fingers crossed!
