Episode 127 – Shoot Report – Lyme Valley

Several weeks ago, we ventured to the Lyme Valley club for the first time in what seems like years. Only now have I’ve finally got round to writing this shoot report. Sorry guys for the delay.

This would be a 36 mixed target course with some cracking shots and some JVD faces (I really don’t like the old JVD faces. The course is situated in a valley, hence the name, not far from Stoke on Trent. Being in a valley the course offers a variety of gradient based slots, both up and down hill, something few clubs can offer.

One great shot was the grizzly and fish from the top of the hill to the screen below. This was a double shot where you would shoot both the Grizzly 3D and fish 3D from the red, then if needs be you would take shots from the white. Etc

Another shot worth mentioning was the 3D polar bear, where they had positioned white sheets and duvets, making it look like the bear was exiting a cave.

Check out the podcast for a full breakdown of my thoughts on the course and shots.

I’m afraid I can’t embed Amazon music on this page but can provide a link https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/c649e917-695a-4c30-aa50-d99742ccd824/episodes/c314e454-dad9-41a1-9812-ecf3b66655e4/off-the-arrow-shelf-episode-127-%E2%80%93-shoot-report-%E2%80%93-lyme-valley

I much preferred the shoot through for lunch, with catering being central in the woods than the old situation where you would stop at 12.30 for 30-40 minutes.

Overall it was a good shoot with some interesting shots.

Thanks for reading.

Episode 117 – Shoot Report – Duvelle Bowmen

In the latest episode of the podcast I give a shoot report for Duvelle bowmens shoot in late April this year.

This isn’t the first time we’ve been to Duvelle and you can see another shoot report from May last year. It proved to be a long day due to a road traffic incident that delayed our arrival by over an hour, but it was a great day, with some fantastic shots. Sadly I did not do the course justice, but it is a learning game this barebow class. Having said this I did manage to get one very lucky shot, with the arrow barely holding in place..

I’m adding links to the podcast below for Spotify and amazon music, though the podcast is available on a number of platforms.

If you get chance please vote in the fun light hearted Poll, is it a bacon sandwich, cob, bap or roll?

For some reason I can’t embed an amazon player into this page so I’m afraid you are left with a link.

As always thanks for supporting this site and the podcast.
