Keith Hanlon Q&A: The first day I shot the bow, it was an ‘Oh yeah, I like that’ type of feeling

Keith Hanlon will be shooting for Ireland in the World Archery Field Championships at Killruddery House, Bray next week. The veteran archer has competed in all 12 Target World Championships since 1993 and at the 1996 Olympic Games.

Q: How did you first get into archery?

A: I took it up by chance 28 years ago — an ex-girlfriend was going to do a course and asked me if I’d like to try it. I said I’d give it a go and from the moment I picked it up I loved it. Just over a year later I was on my first national team.
