Schoolteacher Sleight is UK archery champion

by isleofman.com 2nd June 2010

QEII High School PE teacher Leslie Sleight has another string to her bow - quite literally.

She's recently become the UK Ladies American Flatbow 3D Champion at the National Field Archery UK 3D Championships.

That's in addition to picking up a Scottish title at Easter and another United Kingdom one last year, making her the leading female American Flatbow field archer in the UK.

Leslie explains what the 3D element of her title is: (play clip)

St Ninian's pupil Mick Wrench was also at the NFA UK 3D Champs and came away with a bronze in Under-16 Boys Barebow class.

We'll hear more from Leslie tomorrow morning on Mandate AM sport.
