Meet Aerynn. She is a National Record-holding Barebow archer, a musician, a student of history, and a proud representative of the Australian youth archery community.

Her journey in this sport has been anything but ordinary. In just 18 months of serious training, she went from a local club novice to a multiple National Champion.

But for Aerynn, archery isn't just about the medals; it's about the pursuit of excellence against the odds.

Career Highlights (2024–2025)

Since commencing her elite training pathway, Aerynn has secured titles across every discipline she has contested:

• National Indoor Champion: Gold (2024 & 2025)
• Youth National Archery Championships: 4 Medals (2 Gold, 2 Bronze)
• Trans-Tasman Challenge: Team Bronze (International Debut)
• State Champion (VIC): Target, Field, and Indoor Titles
• Record Holder: Currently holds multiple State and National Records

The "Renaissance Warrior"

Aerynn has been nicknamed the "Renaissance Warrior" because her life is a balance of distinct, intense passions. When she is not on the shooting line, she is a disciplined Suzuki Method violin student, an undefeated school debater, a lead actress in musical theatre, and a passionate student of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).

She brings the same mindset to every discipline: Focus. Resilience. Process.

Defying the Odds

Aerynn was born with microtia and is profoundly deaf in her right ear. While some might see this as a limitation in a balance-based sport like archery, she sees it as her superpower. It has taught her that she has to work harder, listen closer, and focus deeper than anyone else on the field.

That grit has carried her from her first arrows all the way to the Trans-Tasman Challenge in New Zealand, where she fought through injury to win a Bronze Medal for Australia.

Why She Needs Your Support

Archery (Barebow) is a non-Olympic discipline, which means there is no government funding for athletes like Aerynn. Every arrow, every flight, and every hour of coaching is 100% self-funded.

She has big dreams for the future—including the Youth National Championships, State Team selection, and eventually, the World Field Championships.

By following this page and supporting her campaigns, you aren't just funding a trip; you are investing in a young athlete who is determined to prove that with enough hard work, no target is out of reach.

Thank you for being part of her team.
