    In this heartwarming and giggle-filled episode of Unstrung Archery, we sit down with two rising stars in the archery world—Isla and Emelia. At just a young age, they’ve already made their mark, moving swiftly from beginners to champions, and we couldn’t wait to hear their story.

They share insights into their rapid progress, the challenges they faced, and the moments they knew they were on the path to greatness. Isla and Emelia open up about competing at the JNOC, the nerves, the excitement, and the routines that keep them grounded. From balancing school and friends with their rigorous training schedules to dreaming of future achievements—maybe even the Olympics—they show us the determination, focus, and humour it takes to succeed. Of course, it’s not all serious talk. From imagining archery targets shaped like marshmallows to discussing the undeniable magic of ice cream and bacon butties, this episode is packed with personality. The Quick Fire Round is a highlight, with rapid answers revealing their favourite post-shoot snacks, dream shooting locations, and even what their bows might say if they could talk.
