ADAM THOMPSON has shot his way to a county archery title - at just 12 years of age.

Adam, a pupil at Oakbank School, won the Yorkshire Under-14s recurve championship last weekend.

He is a member of Aire Valley Archers who meet at St Ives, Bingley and Sandylands in Skipton during the summer and shoot indoors at Oakbank school in the winter months.

He took up the sport three years ago following in the footsteps of his grandfather, David Thompson and grandmother, Pamela.

"He has won every indoor championship he has entered," his grandfather said.

The Aire Valley club, which has over 100 members, is preparing for the summer season. The club also features in the Guinness Book of World Records following a 24-hour marathon shoot.
