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, winning a silver at the European Outdoor Championships, bronze at the Lancaster Classic and team medals on the World stage.  

In February, 2022, her first big win individually on the international stage came when she took gold and the compound women European Indoor Champion title in Slovenia. In the same year she won the National Tour Final, individual gold at stages 1, 3 and 4 of the World Cup and silver in the World Cup Final. Ella won gold at the Birmingham 2022 World Games. As part of the women’s team, she won gold at the European Championships and silver at World Cup stages 3 and 4. She won bronze as part of the mixed team at the third stage of the World Cup. Ella has broken several records and is currently World Number 1. 

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.
