Mr Fisk competed in Paralympic Games at Seoul in 1988, Barcelona in 1992 and Sydney in 2000. 

He also competed several times at the World Wheelchair Games in England.

Mr Fisk made the move into bowmaking after the 2000 Olympics, and was widely recognised as one of the best craftsmen in Australia.

He was introduced to archery as part of his physiotherapy after he suffered an injury in 1984 that put him in a wheelchair.

He said when he started the sport he struggled to hit the target at all, but it made him determined to improve and, by 1988, he had qualified for a spot on the Australian Paralympic team for the Seoul Games.

Around the same time he was competing in the World Wheelchair Games and the Far East and South Pacific Games for the Disabled (FESPIC) in Japan.

He went on to compete in Barcelona and Sydney as well as the FESPIC Games in Korea in 2001 before turning his attention to the craft of bowmaking.

Mr Fisk was helped in his new quest when he met one of the world’s leading bowmakers, Bob Wilson, after the Sydney Games and the pair became friends.

His product, the Frisky Bows, have become hugely popular and are widely recognised for their craftsmanship and quality.

He said bowmaking brought the fun back into the sport for him and gave him an extra sense of purpose. 

“Making bows is my passion,” Mr Fisk said in 2011. “I was a carpenter and [after my injury] no-one would employ me, so making bows has given me something to do.”

In 2011, for the second year in a row, Mr Fisk was recognised for his abilities as a bowmaker at the Australian Archery Hall of Fame Expo in Liverpool.

The previous year he took out the overall Ross Herron Bowmaker award as well as the longbow and deflexreflex divisions.

Mr Fisk was the beloved husband of Sandra, the much loved father of Damian, Adrian and Sandy and a much-loved father-in-law, brother, grandfather and great grandfather.
