Welcome to the last podcast of 2025. How crazy is it to think 2025 is almost over. It’s that strange time between Christmas and the New Year, where we lose track of which day of the week it is and its still festive but not Christmas.

In this episode, where I dare to be in front of the camera, rather than just a voice,  I give a quick review of 2025 from Off the Arrow Shelf HQ, also known as my office come fletching room, but more importantly I get the opportunity to say thanks to all my followers, listeners and subscribers. I’ve uploaded it to YouTube, Spotify and it’s on Amazon music.

There is my YouTube channel where I have been uploading more content this year, both shorts and longer form recordings of 3D reviews, gear review and more. If you enjoy the content, please hit the Like button and consider subscribing to the channel.

Two videos that have seen a lot of feedback have the the breakdown of the NFAS shooting styles for Barebow and Traditional Bowhunter. I hope to do some more of these covering different shooting styles.

I have been very fortunate to have some fantastic guests this year from the world of archery, scouting and beyond.

• Episode 138 – with Chris Mussell talking archery in scouting
• Episode 137 – with Kristina Dolgilevica about the World Traditional Archery Federation
• Episode 136 – With Special guest of Oliver from Hemlock archery
• Episode 123 – special guests Austin and Courtney of St Joe River Bows
• Episode 118 with Special guest – Paul Chittenden of Dirty Gnome Leather Company
• Episode 115 – Special guest talking Lyme Disease

I would also like to give a special thanks to my friends who have been amazing this year. A year that has been very emotional with the recent loss of of my Mam

As for 2026? I have a few ideas for some more 3D target reviews along with some coaching topics including how to use a range finder to aid your archery development, along with working on videos I mentioned earlier. I might even get to do some archery, if I can decide on which bow to shoot. In the meantime remember to enjoy your archery.

If you have any questions or queries you can drop me an email on or via this website 

Most of all remember to enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening, watching and supporting me over the past year.
