Hi all.
Hope you are enjoying a good Easter, weather is pretty good in the UK. I know lots of you will be out enjoyingthe first BBQ or maybe flinging a few arrows.
I just wanted to share a quick update on why I’ve been so quiet on here and podcasts.
I’m finally beginning to feel back to normal health wise. I’ve been under the weather for a few weeks. Coughing all night, so not getting any sleep and exhausted all time, lost voice has too.
Weird thing is I’ve yet been testing negative for Covid for over 2 weeks.
Doctor has me on antibiotics and steroid treatment which seems to have helped, especially with my asthma.
Been feeling pretty low as this is second time in last couple of months I’ve been under the weather.
I’m hoping to get back to writing & podcasts soon. Let me know if you have any questions.
Stay safe everyone, there are loads of people I know who have been suffering from poor health.
Thanks for reading
Those of you who know me well, know that I’m not one to promote my achievements or successes. It’s also fare to say I’ve been feel pretty low recently, whether this is due to the fatigue of work, the variety of issues that are cropping up, or it could also be due to the run up to Christmas. In short I’m not sure.
I’m also not the most confident person, often having long periods of self doubt, so it’s quite nice when something positive occurs. I wanted to take a minute and share the fact I’ve been published.
Those who follow me on Instagram or Facebook will already know , but I’ve had a couple of articles published in the latest issue of Bow International magazine (issue 156), in their field archery special.
It’s a good read and covers field archery elements that non field archers may not realise. It’s also great to see articles from Alex Tyler on the recent NFAS championship, along with articles on the amazing Allison Wright and Scott Stanbury.
The other thing is the Off the arrow shelf podcasts have hit over 2000 listens, with the latest episode 33 (https://anchor.fm/off-the-arrow-shelf/episodes/episode-33—a-coaching-question—takedown-or-one-piece-recurve-e1bjkgf) covering my answer to a common question coaches are asked. What bow should I buy, a takedown recurve or one piece?.
A few years back I wrote an article covering some of these options https://offthearrowshelf.com/2020/02/06/what-kind-of-bow-should-i-buy/
So thanks for reading and listening. I hope you all have a fantastic festive break, stay safe and well. Good luck for 2022
