In this very special episode, I am delighted to welcome back Kristina Dolgilevica as a gest to the podcast.

Those of you who have been listening to the podcast for a few years might remember Kristina’s first guest slot back in episode 80. Then she had only just taken on the role of Editor for Bow International magazine. Now a couple of years on we discuss how the role has developed as Bow International celebrates its 30th year in publication, a huge milestone for any magazine.

Throughout the episode we discuss various coaching topics, focusing on the concept of Developments having no limits. thought the main focus of the discussion surrounds the World Traditional Archery Federation and the formation of the UK Traditional Archers’ International Association (UK-TAIA), contact detail of which are below.  

We chat about her hopes and aspirations for UK-TAIA in promoting not just competition but also the cultural heritages of the differing forms of traditional archery across the globe. The goal being to promote the association and the potential it has for highlighting the potential for engagement across countries and continents.

Episode 135 – a technique for building stamina in archery

Welcome to the latest episode of the podcast.

In this episode I give a brief update on how things have been progressing down at the archery wood with respect to the new half of the course. I’m delighted to say that targets 19 to 36 are now live and there are some really nice shots in that loop, many of which are completely new in their settings.  In fact I think there are only 2 that are a similar shooting line to previous ones.

I then launch into a technique I’ve used myself which can how you build your stamina in archery, while highlighting a few things to consider about not pushing yourself too quickly.

When talking stamina it’s important to remember that there are 2 elements, the physical side of building muscle strength and endurance, along with the mental side or being able to shoot good, focused and controlled shots.

As always if you have any questions or queries you can drop me an email on or via this website. the episode is available on Spotify and amazon music.
