Thanks for the support guys and gals

Wow what a weekend! Yes coach you were right after all, i did suffer from nerves, should of known you would be right not me. The good thing is i now know that i can shoot just as well with nerves. The more i shot the more confident i became. I learnt a lot of things on the weekend (No. 1 is to listen to your coach).

There were a number of first's on the weekend for me. I started to lose a bit of confidence in my ability after a truly shocking 1/4 finals match but did as i was told and used the lunch time to work on my form and relaxing muscles that had very slightly started to tense. I felt phisically sick at this point but once on the line it all goes away. I didn't know i had finnished. There was only the target, me and one arrow. The thing that gave it away was the Ukrane coach comming over to shake my hand and then it was "who won?".

The scariest thing of all was standing on the podium with loads of people taking pictures of me, i'm not what you would call photogenic.
