New Robin Hood wanted. For some years the Arcieri 01 Artù have been present in the tests of the Fiarc Regional Championship, where Cristiana Fiorano and Gianluigi Pollone often manage to get on the podium. «Our archery is not what you see on TV during the Olympics – explains section chief Sergio Di Bella -. We were born as a company associated with Fiarc, with the aim of shooting in the woods, obviously in well-defined areas, where generally the owner of the land is an archer. We use the traditional technique, but within the specialty there are different types of arches: from technological ones to wooden ones. The distances before the race are unknown and can vary from 5 to 55 meters ».
Since 2020 the group has joined the Pietro Micca. “We were born in 2014 and since last year we have been part of this association – he concludes -. We generally use the historical ‘longbow’: a bow made from a single piece of wood (with applied fiberglass that allows a smooth performance and to extend the life of the tool, ed). We could say the evolution of the Robin Hood arc. But there are different types ».
On the shields in the first seasonal races Cristiana Fiorano, silver on her debut in the test held in the Novara area, where she placed behind the multiple blue champion Marina Tesio. «My passion was born a bit by chance and a bit for fun – says Fiorano -. Then I knew Di Bella, also a doctor, and from a simple outburst and playful activity, it has also become a competitive moment. It made us better. I was lucky enough to meet Giulia Barbaro, one of the strongest representatives of the ‘longbow’: we went to visit her and we became more aware of the shooting. It would take more training, but the fact of keeping up with such good people fills us with satisfaction ». In Valdilana there was the debut in the championship of Angela Fiorano, who finished in fifth place.m.pe. —
