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.

Episode 44 - Sitting Down With Friends From Paget To Shoot The Breeze

Episode 43 - Liberty, Limb Splinters & Playing With Fat Shafts

Welcome back to the podcast with Episode 43.
