19th of June 2020 was the date I posted the very first podcast. It seems strange now to think it was 2 years ago and I am now over 40 episodes down the line. I’m hoping you have found it useful.
I started the podcasts as an experiment, much like my website. It was inspired by other podcasters like The Push, High Power Archery, Barebow Archery, Archery Geek Outdoors and others.
The goal, then as it is now was to promote my hobby of field archery, offering tips and advice. I hope I’ve been successful in helping and promoting the hobby, which in some ways is a lot less well know than target archery, some would describe it as an under ground hobby. You, the listeners are the best judge of whether they have been useful. Have you enjoyed them? I do hope so and I hope they have helped in some small way.
Looking back at the topics I’ve covered it’s pretty diverse, from steps to overcome target panic, to thoughts on course laying, tips on improving shooting your shooting or shot sequence.
It can be pretty difficult to keep coming up with ideas and topics, while keeping it all fresh. Having said that I think one of the things I really do enjoy is replying to followers questions so, if you have any let me know.

So what of the future? Well ‘m not sure. I’d still like to have guest on providing their views on the hobby.
Well thanks for listening and supporting this site and the podcasts.
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
