Recently, Kyle was selected to join the state junior team and was supposed to be participating in the national championships in Tasmania in April this year.
Sadly, the present state of the world prevented him from competing outside the state.
Meanwhile Kyle’s skills continue to grow and new ambitions arise.
Currently, Kyle’s personal goal is to earn an elite gold medal, which is attained by achieving a rating of ninety or above at least three times in a qualifying and ranking event in one calendar year.
All the while, his sights remain set on the National Championships.
“I enjoy learning the technique, precision, timing and patience,” Kyle says.
“But, what I like most about archery is being in the great outdoors.”
The Barossa Archery Club has scheduled shoots at Archery Road on Wednesday and Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. and Thursday nights at the Angaston Show Hall from 6.30 p.m. Guests are always welcome.
The club is also fortunate to have 24/7 access to the Archery Road ground, which allows club members access to train and practice when time permits.
In November, the club will be hosting the 2021 National Crossbow Championships.
They have also held World Postal events in the past, where competitors shoot the required scoring rounds and have their results sent into the international governing body, which are then entered into a data base to determine the overall rankings for those in the world who participated.
Members also participate in numerous state and inter-club tournaments, quite often enjoying success across different divisions/classes.
