Chris joined us in May 2014 after attending a number of both Wednesday and Sunday shoots, scoring well at both from the word go.
Chris currently uses a 70lb bow made by Ray Underwood and has started to use arrows that he’s made himself and is getting some very good scores. His good form has put him in with a decent shout at competition shoots. So far he’s finished 2nd in the 2014 Crecy Trophy and the 2015 Agincourt Trophy, and 3rd in both the 2015 and 2016 Robert Wallis Trophy.
