Victory at Ripa Teatina
The summer holidays draw to a close, but local archers from the Rieti area continue their winning ways. Last Sunday, within the historic setting of Ripa Teatina—an Abruzzo municipality known historically for the passage of the Carthaginian commander Hannibal—Quinto Guadagnoli outpaced the competition to secure the top step of the podium in the barebow division, as reported by RietiInVetrina.
Guadagnoli, who serves as an instructor for the ASD Arcieri di Valle Oracola sports association, capitalized on a rigorous and extended training regimen. His victory was anchored by a total score of 509 points, achieved during the complex night shoot against targets set 25 meters away.
Equipment Adjustments and Preparation
Reflecting on the performance following the medal ceremony, Guadagnoli pointed to meticulous preparation as the key to his success on the course. According to statements published by RietiInVetrina, the archer fine-tuned his gear in the weeks leading up to the tournament.
“I am really happy with this result,” Guadagnoli said, as reported by local media. “In recent weeks I have worked hard on tuning the equipment, focusing in particular on the new arrows that I replaced recently. The training gave me great confidence in my abilities, allowing me to approach the whole competition with extreme serenity.”
The triumph reinforces the competitive standing of the ASD Arcieri di Valle Oracola, highlighting the technical proficiency cultivated within the Rieti archery community.
