In an inspiring turn of events, Sira’s casual visit to watch a competition at our club has blossomed into a remarkable journey of dedication and success in archery. During her visit, she had the opportunity to meet some junior members, and their enthusiasm was contagious. This motivated her to take up the sport and join the juniors’ evening sessions every Tuesday. Since then, she has been a regular and beloved presence at the club, with everyone being incredibly friendly and encouraging.
Last Christmas, Sira received her very own bow as a present. With her newfound equipment, she eagerly entered her first competition on New Year’s Day. The event was a turning point; not only did she have immense fun, but she also enjoyed meeting new people and returned home with a gold medal.
As the outdoor season began, Sira set herself a substantial goal, one that she has just achieved. She now holds both the Bristol V and Metric V club records, as well as the Hampshire county record for a Metric V. Her quiver is brimming with accolades, including a Rose Award, a Star Award, and a Grand Master Bowman Award.
Sira’s achievements are a testament to her hard work and dedication. Her journey from a spectator to a record-holding competitor is truly inspirational. With a brilliant future ahead, she is eager to continue proving herself every step of the way, and we look forward to supporting her as she reaches even greater heights in the sport of archery.
