For many many years there have been so many people that "bend the bow" that you know some are going to make a contribution above and beyond the normal activites of the sportsman or sport women, those people could have commenced the sport as a very young person even a cub or junior, maybe they took the sport up because of injuries from contact sports. It really doesn't matter how or why they started, what matters is that they have given so much to the sport that we in Australia see them as the "shapers and the movers" within the sport , be they Administators, competitors or an archers that has achieved outstanding succees in the field of archery they decided to persue.  Rest assured there are many forms of archery that one can choose from and all of them are special, fun and demand excellence in the activity to be recognised as an archer that is at the pinnacle of their chosen field.
