Her son Ben Bogie, on the other hand, only took up the sport in February this year but is already proving he can hit a target with precision.
Joanne took the international archery world by storm in April when she picked up a gold medal in her division at the IFAA World Indoor Archery Championships (WIAC) in Wellington, New Zealand.
Shooting in the division Bowhunter Limited, Adult Female, her final score securing her first place spot was 852/900.
The score sees her holds the current International Field Archery Association World Indoor Record for a Three Day Standard Round.
Following her success abroad, the talented Upper Dartbrook resident competed in the Pacific Region Field Archery Championships (PRFAC) in Ipswich, Queensland in June where she again won gold in her division.
Ben, from Aberdeen, also competed and incredibly picked up a silver medal in his division despite his short time participating in the sport.
The 30-year-old, who practices his shooting at the Lake Glenbawn Field Archery Club, has needed little guidance in picking up the sport however Joanne says she helps where she can.
"He's shooting a different division to me, but I'm passing on my knowledge to him as much as I can," she said.
And there is plenty of knowledge to pass on.
In 2018 Joanne competed at the World Field Archery Championships in South Africa.
"I had some bow issues so I didn't do as well as I'd hoped and I came home with bronze," she said.
This year, she has won all her Australian Bowhunters Association (ABA) national titles with just the 3DAAA nationals to go in November.
The mother and son duo are now preparing to compete at the World Field Archery Championships (WFAC) in Estonia in 2020.
