Lewis Bodkin Archer

Thanks RamRods Archery for my new Tungsten Points ready to prep my next set of arrows!

Thank you CustomMadeWraps for my new wraps. For years I’ve always used the ultralight wraps but I’m really interested to see how the wave edge wraps look and feel so I ordered a set to try out.

🇮🇹 European Youth Championships
Qualification ✔️

Set myself a new International PB which I am pleased with as shooting conditions were tough due to the heat, sun and added wind! 🥵 ☀️ 💨

Well done to all my GB teammates for their efforts today. I won’t be shooting a mixed team but I will be on the sidelines watching my U18 team mates .christopher.archer and . I will be shooting again tomorrow afternoon though with my U18 Men’s Team, with Archie and before taking on the individual Head2Heads on Thursday.

Junior National Champs 2026

On the Saturday I will start by saying was not my best but still happy with the overall day.

It was the WA900 round, shooting metric 60m, 50m and 40m. 60m distance could have gone better I shot a 252 which could have been a lot better but still happy with my technique.

50m was okay I suppose but I know I could have shot a bit stronger. I shot a 276 which was okay but still a bit low.

40m I shot a 269 I will say definitely could have gone a lot better but not a distance I shoot often so it just didn’t feel right.

But overall I’m happy with the day and shot a 797, with a miss at 60m which place me 3rd by 9 points.

Well done to Matthew Cornah for taking the win.

On Sunday it went better and I felt a lot stronger.

Sunday was the turn of the Albion round, 80yard, 60yards and 50 yards. The first distance was at 80 yards which I think went really well shooting a 276 and my shots felt really strong and smooth.

The second distance was 60 yards which went really well shooting a 306 and I felt really strong and technique felt smooth.

The final distance was 50 yards which went really well shooting a 310 and could have been a bit stronger but my technique felt strong and smooth

Overall it was a really good event and could have been a bit better but still happy with how I did and how my technique felt.

Well done for taking the win this day - proud of you bud!
