Tim Hazell, the coach and manager of the British team feels that a good haul at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games is just what British archery needs in the run up to London 2012.

"This competition will be a positive sign for us in the London Paralympic Games," said Hazell.

"We have a number of younger archers coming up to the national team. This can help to push them to a new level."
