... is a bloke from Cumbria called Alan Wills. He was given this nickname a couple of years back when from no-where he came through and beat some of the best archers in the world to win a World Cup event*.
I'm not that good... maybe only third of fourth most dangerous. ;o) On the other hand, having spent nearly seven hours languishing in fifth at my competition yesterday I had a massive comeback in the last twenty-five minutes to snatch the bronze medal.
Coupled with the silver I won last weekend all I'm missing is a shiny gold for this month. Weekend coming is the University Champs (my last) and while it would be nice to finish with a win there it is highly unlikely. (my best finish is third) Of course, a series of freaky and unfortunate events could take place which would remove those five or six archers who are better than me.... but that wouldn't be as much fun as beating them straight up.
Not that I'm competitive..... ;o)
* - he's also one a likely inclusion in the GB archery squad for the Olympics, so hopefully you'll be able to watch some of our top archers on tv!!
