Archery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The discipline of archery dates back as far as 9000BC and has been featured in the modern Olympic games since 1900. It\u2019s a sport that\u2019s constantly evolving and the complex bows today\u2019s archers use are a huge leap forward technologically from the bows of antiquity.<\/p>\n<p>Edd Kealy and Niamh Griffin went along to the Blackheath Archers club based in the Irish Wheelchair Association hall in Clontarf to find out more about the sport and Edd got a lesson from the first Irish man to compete in archery at the Olympic games Jim Conroy. We also talked to Paul Conroy another coach at the club and archers Barry Guider, John Reck and Stephen Hogan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/BAI-logo-mark-colour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8367\" alt=\"BAI logo mark colour\" src=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/BAI-logo-mark-colour-215x300.jpg\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This series is made with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of\u00a0Ireland\u2019s\u00a0Sound and Vision scheme.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_315\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/17Archery.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('315','http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/17Archery.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/playbutton-443.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/17Archery.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?powerpress_pinw=8555-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/17Archery.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"17Archery.mp3\">Download<\/a> (0.0KB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Sporting Life: The Story of Minority Sport in North Dublin This Sporting Life\u00a0is an upbeat and lively series of short documentaries which capture the excitement and dedication of minority sports people and encourages others to join in.
