So I have reached the 75th episode of the podcast and the first thing I want to say is a huge thanks to everyone who has support me, offered help and advice, or sent in questions and feedback.

Besides thank everyone I mention a couple of other podcasts to go and listen too along with some plans for the future topics. Along with a don’t be that guy inspired segment on a safety aspect and importance of carrying a whistle.

Let me know your thoughts and remember if you do have any question or thoughts let me know, drop

Enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening.

I recently received a question from a listener who had just had a great day at a tournament and had shot a personal best score. He reached out to me because he was concerned about what to do next, how to cope with his next shoot and whether I had any tips or advice on keeping positive and capitalising on the success.

I’ve tried to outline some thoughts and strategies he could focus on along with setting some concepts to remember including every course is different and presents it’s own unique set of challenges.

A few weeks ago there was the National Field Archery Society 3D championships, it also marked the 50th anniversary of the society formation.

In this episode I’m going to give my view of how it went. For those of you who aren’t familiar with these styles of events, it’s 2 days of shooting, with over 600 archers and 4 courses of 40 3D targets of all shapes, sizes and distances.

It was in my view a great success and huge thanks to all involved.

The new 3Ds I mention are I believe Wild Crete.

In the next episode I will be answering a listeners question about the mental side of shooting, what to do after shooting well or poorly. What to do after shooting personal best .

Stay safe, stay well and thanks for listening.

Episode 72 – Target boss options  

This episode is in response to listeners questions I have had recently about what sort of target boss they should buy for shooting at home and for practice. I’m not going to go into details about the risk assessing your garden as to whether it is safe to shoot or not. This decision is yours but I have written about factors you need to consider on the website site (offthearrowshelf.com⁠)

What I am going to do is provide a breakdown on two types of targets, bag bosses and layered foam bosses. Why you need to be careful and consider which is most suitable for you depending on the type of bow and poundage you are shooting. I will provide a view as to the merits and flaws of each.

If you do have any question or thoughts let me know, drop me an email on ⁠[email protected] ⁠or via the website ⁠offthearrowshelf.com⁠

Stay safe, stay well and thanks for listening.

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.
