Did my training course almost exactly three years ago this week. Hate to say it but I'd just turned fifty at the time. Me and my lad (who has asthma) were looking for a new sport that wasn't too physical and we stumbled on to archery purely by chance. I shot target rifle for many years so I had a bit of head start but we both took to it like the proverbial Ducks to water. My son is the county champ, I am the NCAS indoor,outdoor, and field champ, made MB for the last two years and I am currently ranked 15th in the country. I have four county records and two European Masters records and I am presently waiting to hear if I have been selected for the England squad for the Indoor champs. Archery has completely taken over our lives,shooting four or five times a week and attending tournaments all over the country and we have loved every minute of it, my one big regret is that I didn't take it up thirty years ago!
