ABOUT Lewis Matthews

I am raising funds to help finance my development in Para Archery, with my aim of one day representing Australia in this event at the Paralympics. I won my first medals in March 2025 at the Australian National Para Archery championships, - a Bronze in individual Mens Open Compound Bow; and a gold in Doubles Mens Compound Bow. I will need to improve a lot before I can challenge the best Para Archers in the world but I believe that this is possible. I train at SOPA (Sydney Olympic Park Archery Club) at least 3 times per week.
