Our team member, Susan Thompson<\/strong> has shown the club another place where women can achieve more than men. We are proud and delighted to announce she’s officially made it into the Senior Welsh Team<\/strong> and will represent our country at the next Commonwealth Archery Championship Europe<\/strong> (http:\/\/welsharcheryassociation.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Susan’s shooting career has been an ever-growing one. She has started not long ago, and after achieving the Bowman Classification last year<\/strong>, she has been constantly improving her scores knocking out those golden targets with persistence.<\/p>\n

We’ve asked her some questions, for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Club:<\/strong> How did you get into Archery?
\nSusan:<\/strong> A friend of mine, Peter Atherton, thought I would enjoy archery and kindly loaned me one of his compound bows. He guided me through the process (actually it was strict supervision, he is very safety conscious!) and I must say I loved it from the outset<\/strong>. For the purists amongst you who may be thinking why a compound bow, I\u2019d broken my leg and was in a wheelchair at the time (2016) and Peter thought the compound would be easier to handle.<\/p>\n

Club<\/strong>: How do you feel about it?
\nSusan:\u00a0<\/strong>I probably cycle through a whole host of feelings:<\/p>\n
