General
OLYMPIC SWITCH
He use a compound bow until 2005 when he switched to a recurve bow - the only bow used in the Olympic Games. The change came about at a camp in 2005 when he had a malfunction with his equipment in the form of a snapped string. He was unable to fix it and while waiting for a replacement a friend allowed him to use one of his recurve bows. He used it and immediately was noticed as having potential by coaches. He was soon convinced to make a switch from compound to recurve after talking with his coaching mentors. (USOC, 08 May 2007; nbcolympics.com, 18 Jul 2008)
