World Archery Fiji National Secretary Ajay Ballu says from now on these three will need to prove themselves more and improve on their personal bests because they will be competing against some of the best players around the Pacific.

He says toughest opponents of Archery comes from New Caledonia and Tahiti.

Suva dominated in the Fiji Games as they took out three gold medals in the Archery events.
