A podcast (published whenever at this stage) about my journey through archery from a complete beginner to exploring new stages, challenges, and the chaos along the way.
Join me, and occasionally my coach, Owen, as every part of archery from form to equipment to shooting blind is discussed.
Whether you’re a fellow archer or just curious, you are welcome.

Stay in by the wall and mind the arrows.
One multi-day archery competition: standing in a crowd, waiting your turn, and watching hundreds of arrows fly. From people with hypnotic routines to those who just wing it, the day-to-day rhythms and unexpected moments consume your attention and teach lessons you can’t get from practice alone. I've been thinking.....again.

EIAC: Extreme Irritation And Cursing.
In the second (and actually the third one too) part of my EIAC review, things get a bit cranky. The Flint round took more out of me than expected, the scores aren’t where I hoped they’d be, and my competitive brain is having serious words with me.

EIAC: Day One Reflection
This episode is a sleep-deprived, slightly overheated ramble through day one of the EIAC and, honestly, it’s exactly what you’d expect from recording in a hotel room that feels like a sauna, at an hour when no thoughts should be verbalised.
It’s my first proper competition, and I go into everything from the evil early morning start (no, I did not make the 6am practice), to shooting with a genuinely lovely group of women, to trying (and mostly failing) not to loudly sigh and curse my way through every end.
There are a few decent shots, a lot of “what am I actually doing here?”, and the realisation that I might be too relaxed about the whole thing.
Also featuring: tragic makeup, questionable food situations, deep thoughts about bow poundage, and the ongoing internal battle between “I can do this” and “I should absolutely not be trusted with sharp objects.”
It’s messy and a bit all over the place but at the core of it, it’s about being a tiny bit proud of myself.
