When Sue Laugesen of Whanganui was looking for a new sport to take up five years ago, she fancied the idea of fencing.
"I decided I wasn't fit enough for that so I chose archery," she said.
There has been no looking back and now, at 57, Ms Laugesen is competing in the Masters' Games for the second time.
At Wembley Park on Saturday, she was in third place for women competing in the 40 plus category at half time.
She won a silver medal in the recurve (bow with limbs that curve away from the archer) section of the 2015 Masters' Games competition.
