The Directors of MRM Archery have a combined experience in excess of 60 years of competitive performance – we are eager to pass this experience on to others and to grow the sport of archery across Scotland.

When business demands, we are delighted to work with a range of very experienced Associates who help us provide our quality services - information on their experience is detailed below.

Directors:

She has been Scottish and British Ladies Champion, competed for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia in 1982 and was British Team Manager for 4 years, culminating in managing the British Olympic Archery Team at Atlanta in 1996. She still retains a Scottish record set in 1983!

Moira also has extensive knowledge and experience in the field of Child Protection having written the Child Protection Policy for Scottish Archery. Moira was a member of the National Governing Bodies Child Protection Lead Officers Group, a multi agency group of voluntary organisations focussing on child protection issues throughout Scotland, for 7 years.

Rona Mather

Rona started archery in the early 1980s. She has successfully competed for both the West of Scotland and Scottish Teams over the last 15 years in both recurve and compound disciplines and is a past West of Scotland Champion. Rona was instrumental in modernising Scottish Archery during her period as Secretary of the Association in the early years of this decade. Rona is still active on the competitive front and still competes for the West of Scotland.

Michael Mather

Michael has been involved in archery since the early 1970s. He first competed for Scotland as a Junior in 1977, and competed on the international stage over the next 20 years. He has competed for Scotland on more than 40 occasions. Michael qualified as an archery instructor in 1978 and with his coaching accreditation has been heavily involved in archery coaching ever since. Michael is an Archery GB Regional Judge and is therefore qualified to fully risk assess potential archery venues. Michael has been heavily involved in the administration of Archery in Scotland over many years and was President from 2001 – 2006, and in 2006 was awarded Life Membership of Scottish Archery for his services to archery in Scotland.

Associates:

Susan Maitland

Susan started shooting in 1986 and in that time she has represented both the West and East of Scotland and has also competed for Scotland every year since 1999, in both recurve and compound bow styles.  She has been both Indoor and Outdoor Scottish Champion, a silver medallist at the British Championships and has competed internationally in Europe, South Africa and India.  In October 2010 she was a member of the archery team for Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.  She has been an active contributor at Club and Area levels and was a Coach on the Scottish Junior Squad for six years.

 David Hutton

David has been involved in archery since 1986 and became a Coach in 2001. He has been Scottish Indoor Champion and record holder in the Compound Limited class.  He shoots recurve, compound and longbow but currently gets most satisfaction from shooting his horsebow. David has been a coach and mentor in Glasgow Archers for over 10 years. He was also a member of the Scottish National Council representing the West area in the administration of Scottish Archery. 

Aaron Moison

Aaron took up archery in his native Northern Ireland in 2003 and qualified as an Archery Leader in 2005. Aaron shoots a recurve bow, barebow (no sights) and previously studied at Strathclyde University which prevented him in spending as much time in improving his own archery as he would have wished. Aaron assisted his Dad in Northern Ireland to help mould the Roe Valley Archery Club into the successful club it is today. In 2006 Aaron came 2^nd in the barebow under 18 category for Northern Ireland. He continues to help his father teach archery at open days and other events in Northern Ireland whenever he is home.
