This week on the Dreaded Archer Podcast, I sat down with Pierre Cheek, better known as P_Outside, for a conversation that covered everything from competitive archery to anime.

Pierre shares how he got started in archery, what it's been like documenting his journey on social media, and his experience competing at the 57th Indoor Nationals. We also dive into the unique challenges of being a left-handed archer, the growth of archery on platforms like TikTok, and why now might be one of the most exciting times to be involved in the sport.

One of the biggest topics we tackled was the possibility of compound archery being included in the 2028 Olympics. We discuss what that opportunity could mean for archery as a whole, how it could bring new eyes to the sport, and whether it could help grow the next generation of archers.

Of course, no Dreaded Archer conversation stays on track forever. Towards the end of the episode, Pierre and I found ourselves going down an anime rabbit hole, talking about some of our favorite series of all time, iconic characters, and why shows like Cowboy Bebop, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and others have had such a lasting impact on us.

This episode is a little bit of everything archery, competition, social media, the future of the sport, and a healthy dose of nerd culture mixed in. I had a blast recording this one, and I think you're going to enjoy it.

Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and enjoy the conversation.
