When was my first arrow shot?

My first arrow was shot when I was 13(1986) at Paringa Archers in Launceston-Tasmania. I completed the 6 week introductory course with a recurve bow and then went straight to shooting a compound bow after the 6 weeks.  It took a while before my shooting started going places but in 1992 I made my first National Team(World Field Championships) after winning my first Australian Championships.
