    Episode 149 – Shoot Report - Black Arrow Field Archers

    In this episode I give a shoot report on the recent BlackArrow Field Archers NFAS open shoot.  Regular listeners and readers will know I have a soft spot for Black Arrow Field Archers club and attend as many of their shoots as possible in the year, since it is a club I used to be in many years ago. It is one I struggled with not because of the course but myown mind set. The Push episode I mention is episode 426 with Ian Edwards. It's a great episode and well worth listening too We still have places for the Briar Rose open shoot is on the 19th of July and details can be found on the clubs website https://briarrosefieldarchers.wordpress.com/ It is open to all bow classes and members of the National Field Archery society.

    Episode 147 - Archers triangle overview

    In the latest episode I invite you on a learning journey with me as I introduce you to the concept of the Archers Triangle which is something I first started using when I started archery nearly 20 years ago. I honestly believe it is as applicable to an existing archeras it is to a newbie. In the next few episodes, I plan to expand on the 3 sides ofthe triangle but this is very much an overview. If you are a coach do you have something similar to helpexplain things to your students?
