Episode 79 - Catching Up With Maddie Mads

Welcome to Episode 79 where I'm joined by Maddie Hammond. We started our day with a hike up a windy, wet and cold  Wrekin in Shropshire, which turned out to be eventful as there was a man unconscious and verging on hypothermia at the summit. When we fially made it back to record, we talked for almost 4 hours & discussed our respective experiences in the States, Maddie's upcoming feature film debut in a new film from The Push, bows, Liberty Archers Turkey Shoot and veered off on numerous tangents. I'm going to ask you folks to kindlyleave a review for the podcast on whatever platform you listen to it on. Many thanks & I hope you enjoy it.

Episode 78 - Hunting In Montana With Joel Turner & Dylan Drego With Special Guest Dylan Drego

Welcome to Episode 78. In this episode I'm joined by special guest Dylan Drego, who I was honoured to spend a week with in Montana at the start of November, hunting with Joel Turner. It was such an incredible adventure and I'm not ashamed to admit that I got a little emotional during the recording as we reminisced about our experiences in this beautiful state. We go through the highs, the lows, the laughs, the frustrations and the lessons learned. I came back from this trip with a huge amount of gratitude for Joel, Sarah, Bodie, Kaylee and Dylan, alongside a renewed vigour for life and stronger faith. I hope you enjoy the listen.

Episode 77 - Liberty Shennanigans, Using Shot IQ & Tough Decisions.

After an unusually long interval between episodes due to a recently acquired speech impediment, I'm finally back - lol! In this episode, I look back at the weekend shoot at Liberty Archers in Suffolk in July. This is the traditional Paget summer holiday & this year was no exceptoion as we took around  20 archers to Suffolk. I was 5 months into my traditional archery adventure and attempting my first competition with a single string bow. On the Friday I had to make the decision to either put in the reps on the pracrice range or, after an invitation from Maddie, jump on the opportunity to shoot with Matt Zirnsak from The Push as he was in the UK filming with Maddie. Will I regret delaying gratification and deciding to put in the reps? I hope you enjoy my latest ramblings.

Episode 76 - Klaes Andersen

We spent almost 3 hours in conversation about his start in archery, how he sets up his bow and arrows, bowhunting, consevation, the joys of swearing, smack talk and deciding whether to rename Trad Sniper (The Black Bowman) The Emo Bowman. (Sorry Lee... Hahaha). Sit back, relax and enjoy the chat.
