Over the weekend I was incredibly fortunate to be asked to appear as a guest on Archery Geek Outdoors podcast. I was not expecting it to end up as a 3 hour plus conversation about all things archery.
It was definitely out of my comfort zone being in front of the camera! Thanks Rich
Thank for watching and let me know what you think.
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.

I’ve added a poll to this episode to gather peoples views and thoughts on licensing crossbows.
I’ve also mentioned that Briar Rose Field archers has announced dates of the annual shoot which is the 30th of June this year. Details can be found on both the NFAS website
It will be a 36 target course mixed 3D and paper faces. Sadly we can’t have dogs.
Off the Arrow Shelf Podcasts
It seems crazy to think that I started this blog 9 years ago. I have to say the first few posts weren’t my best and I hope you feel they have improved over the years. So before a huge thank you to all who have supported me over the years. In fact the first post was just saying I was going to the woods with my new bow, my Blackbrook flatbow
It seems appropriate to promote on this anniversary a development with the site. As some of you may know I have started to record podcasts on a variety of topics.
These are available on a number of platforms and I have included links below.

I am hoping that people will find them of interest. It has been something I have been thinking about doing for a while and I don’t think I’d be lying in saying I was more than a little nervous about the idea as there are some great podcasts on archery already out there.
Initially I will be looking at creating some podcasts based on topics I have covered here. So, the next few will be on the Archers Triangle. I am hoping to do a few on coaching tips such as shot sequence and maybe arrow builds. As always if there is anything you would like to comment on let me know.
I will still be writing for this site.
Anyway, thanks for reading and maybe listening.
