Pascal is a Deaf archer who has overcome obstacles to pursue his passion. He shares his story, his desire for inclusive resources and the formation of the Deaf Archery Group, aimed at uniting Deaf and hard of hearing archers to address common challenges in the sport.

"No matter what level of archery you are at, the Disability Championships is an event where all are welcome. Great atmosphere and opportunity to meet like minded people. Fun and laughter, but not too serious."

"It's always great to make it to a final, especially when you're there with a good friend."

"I've been struggling a bit for the past few months with my shot routine and stuff, and to finally have it come together on the finals field is amazing and it gives me great confidence for the World Cup Final next week.”

"I don’t at this point quite realise what I’ve done. So maybe it’ll sink in tomorrow when I wake up and watch the video back and realise I have a gold medal around my neck.”

"As this was the first ever IBSA games that included archery, it was a real landmark event for VI archery."

"I’m super proud to have been part of a successful team and to see so many teammates do well too.”

“I think the level of the women’s competition at the moment means that there isn’t an easy route into the Finals anymore, so every route was tricky in its own right."

"I'm really proud to finish the World Cup season with another final four.

"Our club rallies as a big team and it's really good fun to put things together and to see the enjoyment on people's faces when people come to shoot with us."

"Our team is excited to see what they can bring home from this event."

One of the standout performances of the day went to compound woman world number 1 Ella Gibson. She started the day with a 354 at 70m which broke the world record by one point.

"That was my aim, to win and to get maximum points for the Tour rankings. So I'm pretty chuffed that I've managed to achieve both of those."

"People should come and watch to see what an actual finals’ field is like. The National Tour Final is just as good as any international stage."

"We have thoroughly enjoyed hosting this great shoot and hope that whoever takes it on next year will have as much fun as we have."
