Look who’s officially a Cumberlands Patriot!

There’s a pretty exciting new adventure starting for our very own Hector McNeilly, who has swapped NZ for Williamsburg, Kentucky, where he’s starting university at the University of the Cumberlands — and, of course, there’s going to be plenty of archery involved!

Hector has joined the Cumberlands archery team, so he’ll get to experience life as a US college athlete while continuing to train and compete in the sport he loves.

We’re going to miss having him quite so close to home, but what an amazing opportunity

Have the BEST time, Hector. We’ll be following along and cheering you on from NZ. 🇳🇿🩶🏹

And don’t worry — going halfway around the world doesn’t get you out of being a Silver Arrow.

More opportunities to get out and compete, a bit of friendly rivalry with series points and prizes, and you can still be home by lunchtime!

You can shoot one, a couple, or come along to all four and see who ends up with the X Factor Series title.
