Episode 92 – Chrono, Crossbows and club shoot

I managed to record this episode will struggling with a case of the flu so apologies if this episode is full of me sniff and heavy breathing down the microphone.

Having said this is does cover quite a few topics from experimenting with the clubs chronograph to measure bow speeds, while trying out a few different options in point weights for club member on their crossbow.

I also mention the Archery Geek outdoors recent podcast concerning the Governments call for evidence on crossbows. I have included links to the episode and government site below for you to review.

Shoot Report – Black Arrow Field Archery

Archers massing before start of competition

Following on form the positive feedback for the last shoot report for Paget de Vesey I’ve recorded one for the Black Arrow field Archery shoot we attended a last weekend.

For those interested it was a 40 target course, in mixed woodland. Though a little cold and foggy to start it was a good day. Sadly I didn’t shoot as well as I’d hoped.

I would like to say thanks to Joy for her company and support on the day. For those interested her bow is from St Joe River bows https://stjoeriverbows.com/

I mentioned the new rules that will be coming into force in April for NFAS and for those wanting details I’ve included the link for the new rules page.

I’m also posting a couple of links to YouTube hosted videos I shot on the day,

Thanks for reading.
