Phoebe Paterson Pine, Paralympic champion and current world number one, said: “Archery is a truly adaptable sport. Anyone can take it up at any age, no matter their ability. I started archery back in 2012 after going on holiday and my club did its very best to make me feel welcomed and gave me the support I needed to be at the level I am today. If you are interested in starting archery, please don't hesitate to reach out to your local archery club.”
