Episode 93 – Applying the archers triangle when coaching

In this episode I explore how the concepts round the archers triangle can be applied to help archers.

The archers triangle is a concept I have used for several years to help explain the shooting process and steps. If you are interested feel free to check out the website for more details son how I apply the Archers triangle for helping archers suffering from target panic. In essence the triangle explores the key 3 elements of archery, the archer, arrow and bow.

I explain how the archers triangle can be used to explain and identify issues archers can face with their shooting in order for them to then move forward and develop.

Apologies the sound quality isn’t as good as normal, I think this was due to me being away as I recorded this in Wales whilst visiting family and did not have my normal microphone set up.

Enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening.

Episode 81 – When target panic hit me at a local tournament

podcast image

No surprise that the subject of this episode is target panic. In it I talk about how it made me feel when it hit me at a local field archery tournament a few days ago.

This is partly a personal reflection but also I am hoping it will give some confidence to those who like myself struggle with anxiety at times. I also go through how I used a few techniques to settle my nerves throughout the day.

Inspired by Angel at High Power Archery I try to adapt the don’t be that guy segment he uses in his podcasts to a do a be that guy who tries to help, offers a friendly ear or non-judgemental viewpoint.

Enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening.

YouTube video on Target Panic

This is well worth watching if you are struggling with target panic as it offers some good advice on developing mental process especially the idea of talking out loud prior to start of the shot.

The rest is also a useful technique and I used to use 4 controlled shots and repeat.
