The tournament was supposed to be a Double 720 ranking round and the Head to head matches, unfortunately the heavens opened on Friday and we had to stop after shooting just 4 dozen of the 1st 720.
By the afternoon the field was under 4 inches of water so shooting was scrapped totally that day.Saturday we managed to shoot the remaining 2 dozen arrows from the first round and that was it. So it was decided that the head-to-head part of the tournament would be replaced by the 2nd 720 round so at least people could get scores for World rankings etc.
I shot as well as i could have hoped for considering the conditions and went from being 9 points behind the 3rd placed archer in the first round to winning the Bronze medal by 4 points so i was very happy. The Chinese visitors took Gold and Silver and it was very interesting and useful to actually see them shoot and to see the level that they are currently at as they were pretty much an unknown entity before the event.
Anyhoo enough rambling..in a nutshell i beat all the European Archers which is what i set out to do and came home with the bronze so it was a successful trip, oh and while i was there i was officially informed that i will be shooting for GB at the IPC World Championships in Korea (Sept 30th - Oct 11th)
