Long Mynd Archer wins gold at Junior National Indoor Championships
One of the youngest members of Long Mynd Archers won gold at the National Junior Indoor Championship held at Stoneleigh on Sunday 04 Dec 2022.
Hector came from behind with 12 arrows left to shoot, to win by the narrowest of margins in the Under 12 Junior mens Recurve division. Hector's grandmother said afterwards " I can't tell you the tension!! 1st by one point!!! we are exhausted. Hector is jubilant".
