Big changes

The latest episode of the podcast is now up, can’t believe I’m up to 114 full episodes.

In this episode I discuss the recent changes to the NFAS rules following the publication of the results of the recent voting. You can see the full details in the NFAS newsletter / bulletin available from the NFAS website. You might recall I recorded an episode a while back discussing the proposals . These rules changes come into effect from the 1st of April 2025.

I also discuss a life changing decision I’ve made concerning my future. I’ll admit I am more than a little nervous, but the decision is made now.

Thanks for listening

Effect of weather on archery video

Some of you may have already seen this but found this video on how weather, especially wind affects the archer and shooting.

Being a traditional archer using wooden arrows and feather fletching, I can concur that wet weather has a huge effect on feather fletching and wind does throw them off too.

Some good advice in the video is to manage your expectations. If the weather is bad you aren’t likely to break any records. Also when going to a shoot check the weather forecast, so you know if you need wet weather clothing, or sun block if sunny (not a problem that many British archers have suffered from this year)
