Visually Impaired Archery - See No Limits
Shoot and officially compete using the international model of tactile archery. Built my own equipment, since commercial equipment is not available.
In 2004, I was successful in getting the Archers Association of California to officially sanction the event and competed officially for the first time in a state outdoor tournament in Long Beach, California. In 2005, my participation in the U.S. Nationals in Colorado Springs completed the full sanctioning of visually impaired archery as a U.S. national sport. The 2007 Paralympic Archery World Championships competition in Korea marked the first time it became fully sanctioned as a world event. I won the overall silver medal for the United States (mens and womens), while setting 5 womens world records.
I travelled to Czech Republic this August to again participate in the International Paralympics Archery World Championships as a member of the U.S. Paralympics World Championship team. I came in third, winning the bronze medal and breaking 2 of my world records.
My participation in archery is one of my greatest passions; in archery I am not isolated from other athletes who also enjoy the sport. Im hoping I can inspire other people who are visually impaired to give it a try.
