Off the Arrow Shelf

We don’t always get things right; we are human and make mistakes.

You shouldn't dwell on your mistakes but learn from them. This is far easier to say than do, but it is worth trying.

I mention a couple of other podcasts in this episode Modern Outdoor Survival and Outside & Active (which has Ray Mears on). You can check these out on Spotify or other streaming services.

There is also my version of don't be that guy.

In this special episode of the podcast, I am delighted to have as a very special guest on the show Harry Boyce, the current president on the National Field

In the episode we discuss what got Harry into archery, his current set up, what he does when not shooting and the upcoming One Big Event which see the 50th anniversary of NFAS. At the two-day event there are expected to be nearly 700 archers competing over 4 courses of 3D targets.

I’d like to add my thanks to Harry for making time to record this episode as I know he is really busy.

I often get asked what to take on a shoot and what do you carry, so I recorded this in response.

Sorry audio not great at times with rustling of contents of quiver. I carry more than other people do, but over the years I’ve found it all useful.

I mention an article I wrote for the site on what I carry so this is the link https://offthearrowshelf.com/2012/06/19/bow-arrows-and-kitchen-sink-what-do-you-carry-with-you-on-a-field-shoot/

So a couple of questions to ask yourself

Why did you get into archery in the first place?

Why have you stuck with it?

We all come to it via different paths and stick to it for

This may not sound the most exciting topic to talk around but as an archer, course layer or just attendee at a club we have to recognise that archery can be potentially risky, some might say dangerous. I discuss ideas and views of what to consider and why it is important.

There is also a bit of a don't be that guy rant too in this podcast.

This is in response to a couple of questions from a follower, who was asking about how to incorporate the use of binoculars into his shooting process now that National Field archery Society here in the UK are allowing them in his class which is Barebow.

 I offer some thoughts and ideas of what you could do and how to gain confidence in using them, along with factors to consider to consider so they don’t have a negative impact on your draw sequence.

In this episode I talk about what I’ve been doing recently, Shot, my first competition in years and didn’t go well. There is a quick thought on coaching tips when it comes to your stance and taking a shot and how this differs to target as not always on flat ground.
