ESSENTIAL SKILLS

As with compound pros, it goes without saying that some amount of shooting talent is essential to success; like any professional sport, pro archery is performance-based so you must be able to win high level tournaments.

You will also have to develop an extensive social media profile and learn how to network – to be a good brand ambassador you need to be able to promote, advertise and sell the products you’re using. This means something rather more than being able to copy and paste a list of archery brands into an Instagram post. It means engaging with people on a level that gets them inspired and excited, and tends to suit more extroverted people with good social skills and empathetic personalities. You will need to 'do you', every day.
