Lewis Bodkin Archer

Thank you Wellington for my new grip tape. Awesome colour, brilliant grip, just what I needed for my bow!

Evening training at Performance Archery Centre Lilleshall, working hard at 70m tonight focusing on release and overall pressure’s.

Summers arriving! ☀️

On Sunday I went to Meriden for Stage 2 of the National Tour and for my first competition at 70m it went better than expected!! In the first half of qualification I shot a 300 and on the second half i shot a 301. I was really happy with both of them scores and went better than I expected. This placed me 33rd overall which I was happy with.

My first match was against which went really well, it was a really close match finishing 5-5 leading to a 1 arrow shoot off! Moses managed to pip it tho by shooting just in the 9 line to my just out of the 9 line!

Overall the day was really good the weather was perfect and a perfect first shoot at 70m.

I’m delighted I’ve been selected to represent GB at the European Youth Championships at Rome, Italy this July.

Well done to all my team mates, especially my U18 Open teammates .christopher.archer and and thank you to all those who support and sponsor me to help me get to where I am today.









And my parents!

This weekend I travelled to for JAS stage 2.

It was a good day the weather was perfect with just a few gusts of wind in the afternoon. I was happy with my score with it being the last chance to get selection scores for Rome.

In the first half of the 720 I got a 319 and I was really happy with and in the second half I got a 308 which is a bit lower but still happy with.

Then starting H2Hs I felt strong going into it and I won my first match 6:2 against Morgan, then went against Otis and lost 6:2.

But overall it was a good weekend and I’m happy with my score.

Thank you for the 📸 , Grace, Mark and Dylan.

Couple of pics from last weekends Double 720 at my home club, . Not my finest weekend, struggled to get my scores but I had a good time with friends.

Long Mynd Archers Blow Away The Cobwebs…. Living up to its name!

This weekend I shot both days of BATC and in true April fashion we saw every season of the year, multiple times a day! One minute it’s sunny, next it’s windy, then cloudy and windy…. We even got heavy rain, hailstones and snow!

Saturday I shot the double 720, the weather conditions were really difficult and my scores reflected it, the shoot was abandoned shortly after the half way mark of the second round. I managed to finished 1st in category.

Sunday was calmer, but my scores still struggled. I was the only U18 Gent so finished 1st in the open category again but enjoyed a H2H against .mai_archery whilst shooting in a combined open/ladies category.

Thank you as always to for a great weekend.

That riser up close 😍😍😍

Great day today at preparing for the outdoor season, getting that technique cemented in nicely.
