This page is available to all junior members of the club, to submit any archery-related items they like. This could be in respect of what they have achieved so far, or what they would like to achieve in the future.
Ryan wanted to add his own words, so here they are:
After getting
a taste for Archery on Holiday, my name was put on the waiting
list for Exeter Company of Archers. Soon I found myself doing
the 6 week course, that was July 2005 and I've been hooked ever
since!
There is so much to find out about Archery, different names for
rounds, distance, bows etc. You never get bored and whenever I
need help there is always some one willing to give a hand, we
have got great coaches! I like to put my scores in and trying
out for the different badges. The club are very easy going. No
pressure, it's something I like doing. Just like when I go to
tournaments. Mum lets me know what dates she is free to take me
and I say which ones I would like to go to. Normally as many as
possible, it's a great chance to meet up with other Archers, and
I just love the spirit of it.
When I first took part in a tournament outside the club, I'd been
doing Archery about 10 months. I was very nervous and excited.
These days I just get on with it, try my best and enjoy the day.
It doesnt matter if you win or lose, there is always some
one else you want to cheer on even if you don't win. I have gained
a lot of experience, made some great mates. (Were always chatting
even outside of Archery)!
Now I am in the Devon and Cornwall Squad, thanks to the training
from Exeter Company of Archers! Giving me more excuses to take
part in my favourite sport! As you can probably tell I love ARCHERY!
