Clive Jones took up archery after losing his sight completely in 2000.

Clive Jones from Market Drayton, Shropshire, lost his sight completely in 2000 after being assaulted whilst serving in the army.

"It really is a lovely sport. It’s inclusive. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got no eyes, no arms, no legs, you can still shoot an arrow," Mr Jones said. Mr Jones said archery had helped him hugely with his confidence, and has led him to coach others in the sport.
