Welcome to Episode 80, where I'm privileged to be joined by Danish barebow sensation Oliver Øchkenholt. Oliver is a national and international champion who came to competitive shooting from a background of bow hunting.
We discussed his introduction to archery, creating a work/life/archery balance, the cost of competitive archery at an elite level and sponsorship/funding. We also talked about additional ways that he funds his travel and entry costs for international tournaments and his vision for making archery a more spectator friendly sport for non-archers to reach a wider audience. I also broached the subject that at the very top levels of archery where television and livestreams are involved, should the archers look like "athletes" to give a better perception of the sport to non-archery viewers?
We had invited listeners to ask questions they wanted Oliver to discuss and I think we covered most of them in the general flow of conversation. We hope that you enjoy the chat.
