    Episode 96 – Shooting gloves and tabs – the basics

    Episode 96 – Shooting gloves and tabs – the basics

    In this episode I am trying something a little different and recording it as a video. Don’t worry I’m behind the camera.

    I’m talking about the different finger tabs and shooting gloves you can come across in traditional archery.

    I’ve had a couple of questions recently about the differences between tabs and gloves when running some coaching sessions so thought this would be a good way of showing the differences.

    I know that some people prefer a glove, while others prefer a shooting tab. At the end of the day it’s what works for you and you are allowed. I’ve used both and tend to lean towards using a custom tab over a glove.

    I also offer a quick tip on improving the fit of your shooting glove by adding some velcro to the wrist strap.

    Last thing is a mention to Dixie Leathercraft (https://www.facebook.com/dixiedamsell)

    Episode 94 – Listen to the feedback, don’t block it out

    Episode 94 – Listen to the feedback, don’t block it out

    Over Easter I was in Wales staying with my family and I managed to record this episode whilst sat outside in the garden, trying out the new Lavaller microphones I mentioned on Instagram a few days ago. Let me know what you think of the sound quality as I’ve been quite impressed. I do wonder off topic a bit and talk about the wildlife that’s surrounding me.

    Sorry it’s taken so long to be posted but unfortunately my health's taken a hit and I’ve been laid up.

    The topic of the session is feedback and what I can feedblocks, The points in your shot sequence where you have the opportunity to stop before you make a mistake or error in judgement.

    Whether you are an instinctive archer or a process based shooter you need to have points in your draw and shooting sequence where you can take a moment and decide whether you should or should not be moving forward to the next step.

    Just because you draw up does not mean you have to shoot.



    I hope you enjoy it and let me know your thoughts and remember if you do have any question or thoughts let me know, drop me an email on ⁠offthearrowshelf@yahoo.co.uk ⁠or via the website ⁠offthearrowshelf.com⁠

    Enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening.

    Episode 93 - coaching and archers triangle application

    Episode 93 - coaching and archers triangle application

    I managed to record this episode on holiday in Wales as I wanted to touch on a recent coaching experience and how I was helping a couple of archers out. I explain how the archers triangle can be used to explain and identify issues archers can face with their shooting in order for them to then move forward and develop.

    Apologies the sound quality isn’t as good as normal, I think this I due being away form my office and the microphone not being the same quality.
