MOVE over Hawkeye and Katniss Everdene here comes Woodenbong’s Remy Leonard.
The Woodenbong Central School Year 10 is set to represent Australian as ‘Indoor Team Shooter’ for the 2016 World Archery Championships to be held in Turkey in March next year.
“I aspire to be a world-class archer, therefore this is my major stepping stone for me and I am very excited about this opportunity,” he said.
The talented 15 year old belongs to the Lismore Great Eastland Archers and Northern Rivers Field Archers.
He received a bow for Christmas two years ago and hasn’t looked back, winning numerous state and national titles over the past two years.
His most recent win came at the two-day event at Yatala 3D Shoot – where he took the Queensland State Title in his division.
Remy is now busy fund-raising for the trip to Turkey and is looking for sponsorship to help him realise his dream.
His school has set up a fund-raising account, contact Woodenbong Central School for further information.
