Archery is a wonderful sport for everyone from any walk of life.  It focuses the mind by developing a high level of concentration.  There`s a wonderful complexity to archery...with the mechanics of the bow, an arrow, a string...with the physical complexity of your bow hand and arm, your drawing hand, anchor and release.  However, if you can keep it simple in your own mind and don`t let the elements run away with you, it all ends with a surpassingly beautiful simplicity - the shooting of an arrow. 

  "If you want to be an average archer, just practice.  If you want to become a good archer, practice until the bow becomes an extension of you.  If you want to become better than good, practice until the arrow becomes an extension of yourself."  Byron Ferguson Become The Arrow

 

Your instructor Scott, has an archery background of more than 15 years experience of shooting many styles of bows - to include self bows; long bows; American flat bows; Mongolian composite bows; recurve and the highly evolved compound bows.  Each having their own unique form and style.  Scott is a qualified Grand National Archery Society Instructor and has competed in many indoor and outdoor competitions, amongst many archery achievements, he has held the position of 2nd in Kent for Gents Indoor Compound Tournament.
