Both teams have had successful training camps leading into the tournament. Our compound team under the guidance of National Compound Coach, Dr Jim Park, headed to Victor Harbor (South Australia) for a few days of intensive shooting to work on matchplay, competition pressure and fine tuning equipment & technique.

Our recurve team was lucky enough to enjoy a training camp in Korea ahead of the World Cup. Shooting at the Kwangju Women’s University Archery Centre in Gwangju, the team was put through their paces under the watchful guidance of National Recurve Coach, Oh Kyo-moon.
