Taymon Kenton-Smith PLY took up archery at age six with a partial left hand and no off-the-shelf solution... So he built his own!

And 15 years of engineering, fine-tuning, and problem-solving later, he stood on the Paris Paralympics stage, took out the world number one, and finished 4th in the world.

"Ordinary things done over a long period of time is how extraordinary things happen."

Innovation and determination have been at the heart of Taymon`s career (and so has giving back).
From sharing equipment solutions with fellow para-archers to mentoring the next generation as Brisbane 2032 approaches, he`s helped build a sport that truly is for all.
