The Archery Geek Outdoors' Podcast

Welcome to Episode 52 of the Archery Geek Outdoors podcast where I'm down in Outwell in Norfolk and I'm joined by Alex George, founder and owner of Hybrid Archery. We talk about Alex's background, how he found his love for archery and his decision to make archery his chosen business. We discuss the benefits of being independent, with no affiliation to any of the big governing bodies, how the sport that we all love can be grown and new, young blood brought in and Alex's plans for growing the business. Head over to Hybrid's Facebook page to check them out and give them a like.

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.

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.
 

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Welcome to Episode 44 where I sit down with Ollie, John, Nic, Joy and Andy from Paget for my very first round table podcast. The episode also features appearances from our youngest ever guest, 4 year old Lily-Rose, Andy and Nic's youngest daughter and their eldest daughter Chloe. This episode was completely unscripted and we just sat down for a conversation about archery in general, our home club of Paget and anything else we happened to talk about. I hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording it. Links to Ollie's Facebook page, Instagram account, YouTube channel and Etsy store can be found here:

Welcome back to the podcast with Episode 43. In this episode I look back at the Liberty Archers weekend, a day spent with Alex at Hybrid Archery, a British International Bowhunters  meet and the Briar Rose open shoot. I'm also waiting to hear from Merlin Archery about a warranty claim on the limbs for the Kuma where I've had splinters lift. I finally got the Skylon Empros made up and got to fling some fat shafts, Huge thanks to Tim Connor for his permission to use his monologue from a video that he posted on the Elkshape YouTube channel.
