BOYTON ARCHERY

In September / October 1994 I was asked by a school friend to go and check out a new after school club. It turned out to be an archery club being run by Clive Walker and Paul Porter two teachers at the school. The club had only just started and I became a part of it. From that point I was hooked. The club was called The Magna Carta School Field Archery Club. I entered many archery competitions and shot at the school either in the grounds or in the main sports hall every Friday evening... I was getting quite good at shooting and winning medals so decided to go to the National Champs of the NFAS (National Field Archery Society) in 1996 at Cannock. My parents drove me very early on the Saturday morning to make sure I made registration on time. I was shooting HT (Hunting Tackle) style in the junior male category. I came 10 th out of 15 and left the Champs thinking to myself I'm not doing that again. I put way too much pressure on myself... In the early part of 1997 I stopped shooting to..
