Episode 71 – It’s okay to make mistakes

05/22/23 • 16 min

We don’t always get things right; we are human and make mistakes. With modern media like Instagram, TikToK etc we tend to only see the perfect groupings or perfect shots. This is the main topic of this episode where I discuss that it’s important for people to realise things can go wrong and to remember “Mistakes are only mistakes if we don’t learn from them”.

You shouldn't dwell on your mistakes but learn from them. This is far easier to say than do, but it is worth trying.

I mention a couple of other podcasts in this episode Modern Outdoor Survival and Outside & Active (which has Ray Mears on). You can check these out on Spotify or other streaming services.

There is also my version of don't be that guy.

In this special episode of the podcast, I am delighted to have as a very special guest on the show Harry Boyce, the current president on the National Field Archery Society here in the UK.

Episode 72 – Target boss options

This episode is in response to listeners questions I have had recently about what sort of target boss they should buy for shooting at home and for practice. I’m not going to go into details about the risk assessing your garden as to whether it is safe to shoot or not. This decision is yours but I have written about factors you need to consider on the website site (offthearrowshelf.com⁠)

What I am going to do is provide a breakdown on two types of targets, bag bosses and layered foam bosses. Why you need to be careful and consider which is most suitable for you depending on the type of bow and poundage you are shooting. I will provide a view as to the merits and flaws of each.

If you do have any question or thoughts let me know, drop me an email on ⁠[email protected] ⁠or via the website ⁠offthearrowshelf.com⁠

Stay safe, stay well and thanks for listening.
