Stan gives lessons to beginners in the skills of Freestyle target archery.

He tries to attend the Open Shoots we put on twice a year and has regularly been present at Club Shoots. For the past three years he has worked full time at Chilton Archery as General Manager where he serves customers and works in the workshop making archery equipment, For his sins Stan pleads guilty to introducing Lucy Holderness to Field archery, now we all know who to blame when you finish in the dark on a cold wet day. Still all is not lost she has been seen lurking in the woods with a Longbow. Maybe she has seen the light at last?
