As part of its Chasing the Dream campaign, the organisation wants "focused, motivated individuals who think they have what it takes to represent Great Britain and reach the Paralympic podium".

The main aim is to identify archers with potential and "fast-track their development" so they can compete at Rio 2016.

It is also looking for archers who can be developed for Tokyo 2020.

"It's a great opportunity for existing archers who want to take their performance to the next level - and for recurvers willing to switch to the compound," said an Archery GB spokesperson.

"Either way, you will receive world class coaching support."

Those interested can email [email protected] for more information and an application form.

Applications need to be submitted by October 10.

Those who are successful will be invited to Lilleshall in the English county of Shropshire on November 1 and 2 for a screening session.

Meanwhile, a Paralympic open day is being held in Lilleshall on October 18 for any disabled archer who thinks they have the potential to reach the Paralympic podium.
