We caught up with Matt before he flies out to Tokyo tomorrow to get his final thoughts.

Matt recently set a world record while qualifying for the Paralympics, shooting a 1398/1440 double 50m round (2x72), breaking the record by 20 points.

Oh, and he broke the record in 2015 for World's Longest Archery Shot, shooting of course with his feet.
