Patrick Roux – South Africa
I took up archery in 2000 first buying a bow for hunting only. I am still a keen hunter and have harvested 13 big game species with the bow and in total I have hunted more 150 big game animals. I took up target archery in 2010 first entering the ABO 3D competitions. In my first year shooting ABO I won 2 of the three triple crowns and the National championships with a record score of 408 that still stand today. In 2011 I started target archery focusing on World archery events I really like the precision of outdoor target archery coupled with the adrenaline of the elimination matches.

Testimonial:
“I have used pro stops for the last 3 years. I started using them because they were durable no rubber that can wear out etc. They are well manufactured and very versatile helping you to tune your let-off to your taste”
