Thanks Gr8. It's important to note though that there are always better archers around. It's just that they don't always compete &, as the saying goes, how can ya win if ya haven't got a ticket.
Archery tournaments can be likened to a swimming meet. There are different events, 100m freestyle, 100m backstroke, 100m butterfly etc. Archery tournaments are a bit like that. I compete in Mens Masters Compound, others compete in Mens (& Womens) recurve and longbow etc. there is never an overall tournament champion just the division winners who get gold medals, second & third get silver & bronze medals.
