Episode 54 - Catching Up, A New Scope & Arrow Musings

Welcome to episode 54. After the carnage that was episode 53, this episode sees things a lot calmer. I catch up on what I've been up to in the gym, look back at my trip to the EFAA Bowhunter Championships, get a new scope for the Axcel Accutouch and discuss whether or not to go back to the Gold Tippy Goodness to find one arrow to fit all of my needs.

Episode 53 - The Saturday Spectacular (Raw & Uncut)

Welcome to Episode 53 of the Archery Geek Outdoors podcast. Despite what  I say in the introduction it is definitely episode 53. This episode was recorded on the Saturday night of the campout and I'm joined by Big Jake, his brother Cody, Posh James, the delightful Nurse Kirsty, Alex the Boss, Sniper Mark, Ian and Crazy Kaz. There were copious amounts of alcohol involved so this is almost 4 hours of unbridled chaos including dark humour, innuendo, tasteless jokes and the occasional reference to archery, all peppered with an excessive amount of foul language and merciless personal insults with some of the most genuine people it is my pleasure to call friends. Apart from some volume normalization and compression this has been uploaded as it was recorded, raw and uncut, so be prepared because this is definitely not safe for work or for listening to around delicate ears.

Episode 51 - Shooting With A Lens With Angel Garcia

Welcome to Episode 51 where I am joined by Coach Angel Garcia of the High Power Archery Podcast. After listening to my last episode where I talked about starting to shoot with a lens in my scope and the differences it created in my shot, Angel joins me to talk through the pros and cons of using a lens and the adjustments that I may need to make.

Episode 50 - Discipline Equals Freedom & Fatty Wants A Six Pack

Welcome back and I've finally made it to the half century. My 50th episode. In this episode I discuss some big changes that I've implemented since Boxing Day, both in my shooting and my weight loss and fitness journey. The catalyst for this change was an offer from Anthony at The Off Center Archers following my Christmas Eve rant. Listen in to find out what I've changed and I'm really pleased to say that I'm currently 2 weeks cigarette free.
 

Episode 49 - Special Guest Ryan Clark Of The African Allure Hunting Safaris

Welcome back, In this, the final episode of 2022, I'm joined by special guest Ryan Clark of the African Allure Hunting Safaris in the longest episode yet at just over 3 hours and 20 minutes. Ryan is a guide and professional hunter and owner of The African Allure Hunting Safaris with almost 30 years experience and specializes in bow hunting, although he also rifle hunts, wing shoots and fishes. We talk about everything from his background in hunting and guiding, equipment choices, shooting tips, dealing with anti hunters, taxidermy, hunting as a novice and his recent experience guiding in the USA. I must apologise for the abrupt ending but with Ryan being in rural South Africa, he lost internet connectivity. We will hopefully have a second episode together in the not too distant future.

Episode 48 - The Return Of Angel Garcia & Highpower Archery

In this episode I'm joined again by Coach Angel Garcia of Highpower Archery. Angel has been through a really rough time battling cancer and after he listened to my drunken escapades in episode 47 he decided that he wanted to address dome of the topics that I covered in an environment where he could really let loose, so we have 2 and a half hours of us shooting the breeze and putting the world to rights covering topics from his ongoing fight with cancer the state of the archery industry through the loss of competitive spirit and participation trophies, fortitude, resilience, the Necronomicon Sagittarius and what comes next, We hope you enjoy this episode because we had a riot recording it.

Episode 47 - Updates, A New Release Technique And A Change Of Mindsert

In this episode I return after and uniintended hiatus with a change of mindset, some updates and a new release technique. It was recorded while indulging in copious amounts of late night Cheistmas Eve alcohol, therefore this episode is definitely NSFW and expresses some views likely to trigger Betas and those lacking a spine.

Episode 46 - I Shoot My First Marked 3D Event, Bought A Prime And The Loss Of Heath McDonald Of Young Guns Archery

Welcome to Episode 46. In this episode I talk about my first marked 3D event at Whitemark Bowmen, the EFAA 3D Championships, the sad loss of Heath McDonald of Young Guns Archery and I've bought another bow, a Prime Black 5

Episode 45 - The Queen Is Dead, Long Live The King, New Limbs On The Kuma & My Hunting Arrow Finalised

Welcome to Episode 45. Today we have had the heartbreaking news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. On the archery front, the new limbs have been fitted to the Kuma and she's more vicious than ever. Pure fluke led me to a perfectly tuned 500gr hunting arrow that does around 290fps and I mull over which range finder to buy ready for the EFAA 3D championships.
