Episode 86 - With AGB WA3D Squad Member Aaron O'Shea

Welcome to Episode 86, where I'm joined by NFAS, EFAA & AGB archer Aaron O'Shea. Aaron has only been shooting for 4 and a half years but has already achieved considerable success nationally & is a member of the AGB WA3D squad. We cover a myriad of subjects, including some that maybe controversial, including his introduction to archery, tuning, coaches vs instructors, the sponsorship (or lack of it in the UK), and how to grow the sport. We're hoping to record a second episode when time permits, covering everything that we didn't get to cover this time.

Episode 85 - Updates, Milestones & Brain Twisting Moments.

Welcome to Episode 85, my first time flying solo in a while, so you'll be pleased to know that this is a shorter episode. In this episode, the podcast has reached a new milestone, my brain gets twisted by some unexpected results comparing impact points with markedly different arrow weights and I look forward to upcoming adventures with my bow.

Episode 84 - Norwegian Longbow Archer William Holm

Welcome to Episode 84 where I'm joned by 18 year old Norwegian longbow archer William Holm. We discuss his introduction to archery through barebow, English Longbow and then World Archery longbow. He gives us a deep dive on his equipment, shot process and his performance at the recent Norwegian Indoor Nationals aswell as us going off on the usual tangents. The Dirty Gnome even managed to sneak into the conversation. We talked for just over 4 1/2 hours so it's definitely not a short one. Please be aware that there is some colourful language in places.

Episode 83 - Trad Bows & Asiatic Archery With Journey With Arrows & Clwyd Archer.

Welcome to Episode 83, After a bit of a sabbatical, I'm back with my 6th episode in a row with guests. It was my pleasure to be joined by Nathan Vaughan (Clwyd Archer) & Dave Jones (Journey With Arrows). We sat and talked for almost 4 hours about their beginnings in archery, their respective styles (longbow, recurve & asiatic), arrow tuning, got a top tip for waterproofing feathers and a whole host of other subjects as tangents were followed. There was even the odd joke about sheep. We hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Episode 82 - Archery Development, Philosophy & Balancing Priorities With World Champion Ian Edwards

Welcome to Episode 82 where I'm joined by sculptor, World Archery world 3D longbow champion and now philosopher, Ian Edwards. We talked for almost 2 and a half hours about Ian's recent sharing of his philosophies, his preparation to defend his world title and how how balancing work, archery and family commitments means that he will have to miss out on this years Lancaster Archery Classic. We also talked about the work that he is doing with the Archery GB 3D Squad, organising seminars with leaders in their fields and training days which are not only open to squad members, but to members of any of the other main archery governing bodies who want to improve their skillset. This helps to raise funds for the squad members to travel to and compete in international events, because like many other international archers from around the globe, the national squad for 3D & field archery are primarily self funded. This was combined with the usual meandering conversation that happens. I hope that you enjoy listening and please leave a review on whichever streaming platform you listen or watch on.
