Permaul is Guyana’s rep. at Columbia’s Archery World Ranking & World Games Qualifier events
Kaieteur News – Archery Guyana has informed that Devin Permaul is the lone Guyanese Archer in Medellin, Columbia, flying the Golden Arrowhead where the Americas’ last world ranking event of the season, which also serves as the continent’s last qualifier for the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, USA, is taking place.

The tournament commenced on November 2nd and will end today at the Sports Complex Andres Escobar where more than 70 archers from 13 nations are competing; there are three quota places in the compound Men’s and Women’s events for Birmingham available.
In a release from Archery Guyana, Permaul notes, “International tournaments have been a struggle for me. The scores in local tournaments aren’t being reflected at this level of play. I have headed to the World Games Qualifier in Colombia to gain more international experience and raise my confidence in shooting.
There seems to be more familiarity now as there are faces I recognise and has kept me relaxed off the field. Team Ecuador especially has been kind to me. Outside of archery it seems learning Spanish seems advantageous and that is another endeavor I hold. Practice was okay, it was the first time I didn’t feel nervous but there have been changes in my form that I am not fully confident in yet. This does feel like it’s getting easier. They also put up a flag for Guyana at this tournament it was the first tournament I had seen this and thought it was cool.”
