About the Author
Michael Hamlett-Wood started shooting in 1967, initially as a target archer, but soon discovered that the delights of field archery were more to his taste. He started a club on moving to Cheshire and was actively involved in assisting with running the club and competition shoots for many years. His club was the first to stage regular competition shoots using home-made 3D targets, before the American mass-produced targets came into use. He has taught hundreds of beginners the art of shooting with a bow. He has shot mainly in the Freestyle class and, in later years, the Compound Unlimited classes, shooting frequently in open competitions and in National Championships - with some medals to show for it. He is still an active field archer.
