The Gold Coast Archery Club has turned up to host the archery event at the Jupiters Pan Pacific Masters Games once again.
The club has hosted this event numerous of times over the years with this year being the biggest by far.
“Over these last couple of years a lot more people have become involved in the sport,” John explained.
“Just our club alone, we have gone from 15 players to 70 odd, and the sport is truly growing all over the world.”
The players that competed in archery at these Games certainly weren’t all locals with players having come from New Zealand and areas in the South Pacific to compete.
The sport is a delight to watch and you can see why all of the competitors love it.
“There isn’t any rivalry out there like some other sports because the competitors are not competing against someone else they are competing against themselves,” John explained.
“Everyone is really close and friendly.”
The Gold Coast Archery Club has been going for 20 years and is growing by the year.
The club have participants ranging in ages from 13 years old to participants in their 80s.
Archery is a sport on the rise and is surely not a sport to miss.
The new system was born here and filagra this is not something that we would like to see. Caverta although better in some elements but not momentous for us.
