International Competition Achievements

About Ella

Ella first tried archery in October 2014 when some coaches from Xperience archery came to her secondary school. They put on a six-week taster session after school and that led to a beginners’ course with Deer Park Archers and she joined the club in June 2015. Ella has competed internationally since 2018.

Ella’s family own and run Dolcetti Ice Cream, in Cirencester. They have moved to bigger premises, which includes a 25-metre indoor range so that Ella can continue to shoot, whatever the weather.  

Her most proud achievement to date was winning the World Games in 2022, and in 2024 she became the European compound women's champion. Also last season at the World Cup in Antalya, she came home with three medals: a bronze individual, a mixed team silver with Ajay Scott, and a team bronze medal with Izzy Carpenter and Layla Annison.

She remains the number one world-ranked compound woman since July 2022, and she broke the 50m qualification world record with a score of 718 at stage 3 of the 2024 National Tour.
