Off the Arrow Shelf

A few months back I organised a very simple poll on a Facebook group in an attempt to gather some facts and opinions from archers on what they felt slowed a shoot down. My thanks to all those who took the time to vote and provide feedback on what proved to be a complex issue

In this episode I review the results from that poll an offer some thoughts on what can be done to answer or sort those issues highlighted.

What are your thoughts? Was there anything missing or are you surprised by the results?

I’ll am posting the full results via the website ⁠offthearrowshelf.com⁠. Pop by and have a read.

As the title says in this episode I offer some thoughts on the proposals that have been published in the November / December copy of the NFAS magazine prior to being discussed at the upcoming AGM.

There are quite a few proposals this year, with modification to shooting classes, proposals on use of binoculars and even suggested new rounds.

I encourage all nfas members to read them.

As the title says there has been quite a lot of things going on over the past couple of weeks, some positive and others less positive. The important thing is everyone is okay.

Thanks for all the feedback I’ve received from the last podcasts and based on this I’m going to dive into some coaching tips and advice. This time focusing on your shot

I go through what I have been doing with one club member who after recovering from a motorcycle crash is now wanting to get the most from his archery.

I’ve come to the decision to restart the podcast series.

I have been very humbled by the support that has been offered to me online, face to face or via phone calls.

My goal remains the same, that is to provide perspective of field archery here in the UK. I am hoping to include some product reviews include Core takedown recurves, shooting gloves, Wildcrete 3D targets and a few other ideas.

I’m also updating some coaching material on the Archers Triangle.

I've been fortunate enough to have an article published in the latest issue of Bow International issue 181It's a 3

I’ve reached 100 episodes and in this one I look back at the work going on for the Briar Rose Annual shoot on 30th of June details can be found on the clubs website.

I also try to thank the numerous guest and supporters of the podcast over the years. Thank you all.

On a sadder note though I question whether I should continue writing or recording.

This episode is another shoot report thus time it's for Duvelle Bowman, for  NFAS competition which they hosted a couple of weeks ago.

Overall it was a really good day, with some fantastic weather and good company. The course was 40 targets and all but 2 were 3Ds.

With some very cleverly set shots which I go into in the episode I’m going to try to record a YouTube video for this podcast too as I captured lots of photos. I also discuss the new rule NFAS has brought in for children under 2 and how banning them impacts archery parents.

I hope you enjoy it and let me know your thoughts and remember if you do have any question or thoughts let me know, drop me an email on ⁠[email protected] ⁠or via the website ⁠offthearrowshelf.com

In this episode I am trying something a little different and recording it as a video. Don’t worry I’m behind the camera.

I’m talking about the different finger tabs and shooting gloves you can come across in traditional archery.

I’ve had a couple of questions recently about the differences between tabs and gloves when running some coaching sessions so thought this would be a good way of showing the differences.

I know that some people prefer a glove, while others prefer a shooting tab. At the end of the day it’s what works for you and you are allowed. I’ve used both and tend to lean towards using a custom tab over a glove.

I also offer a quick tip on improving the fit of your shooting glove by adding some velcro to the wrist strap.

Last thing is a mention to Dixie Leathercraft (https://www.facebook.com/dixiedamsell)
