Archer Danielle Brown became the first English Paralympian to compete at an able-bodied Commonwealth Games event on Monday.
The 22-year-old finished 14th in the Women's Individual Compound event at the Yamuna Sports Complex in New Delhi
"It's pretty exciting, but I haven't made a big fuss over it," Brown said.
"For me, I'm trying not to get over-excited because I don't want to put myself under any additional pressure."
Brown suffers from reflex sympathetic dystrophy [RSD] which causes immense pain in her feet, and competes using a purpose-built stool.
She won a gold medal at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing and could be a medal chance in Delhi, but says for now she is just enjoying the experience.
"It's fantastic, I love being part of the Games and part of the team," she said. "I love learning about other sports in the Games as well."
Archery returns to the Games after a 28-year hiatus and, with the sport not featuring at Glasgow 2014, Brown said she was focused on making the most of her chance here.
"I haven't competed in a major able-bodied event before so it could well be an opportunity of a lifetime," she said.

"I'm ranked at 14, and we were ranked second as a team. It's a really good place to be," Brown said.
