I am 42 years old and started target archery at the age of 38. In December of 2012, I participated in my first International Event in Singapore and after that I participated at various international tournaments. I enjoy the World Archery Categories the most and will occasionally shoot the local IFAA disciplines as well. I’ve tried bow hunting as well.

Testimonial:
“ I have been hooked on ProStops from the moment I first laid my eyes on them. I immediately replaced the factory stop with the ProStop HCS. The first thing I do when I get a new bow is to install my ProStops. I am so spoiled with ProStops that I fear the day I cannot get hold of one. I don’t know much about the technical stuff like holding weight etc etc, I just know it feels right!”
