Amazing News!

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!
