After a quick update on what has been going on over the past couple of weeks, I launch into a technique I’ve used myself and have coached other archers with.

It is surprisingly straight forward and can help build confidence in distance judgement and overall shooting.

It’s been a very exhausting couple of weeks with my Mamsfuneral, helping at a scout camp, half term with associated childcare and more.

Finishing off with a trip in an ambulance and stint in thelocal hospital accident and emergency, thanks to knocking myself out at the archery wood. So in all it’s been very tiring. Anyway back to this edition.

I mentioned in this episode I have recorded a video anduploaded it on YouTube giving a review and my thoughts on the SRT wild boar target https://youtu.be/Nc6-bqVEUlE

Feel free to check it out. I’m hoping to do more reviews of this kind so if you find them useful let me know.

Onto the main focus of this episode of the podcast and this isa question which could be at best a hugely contentious issue or at worse a downright explosive one.

Is it time to license bow ownership in the UK? I explore this topic offering my thoughts on the matter and consider what possible alternatives are available.

I try to approach it from a pragmatic view point of what ispractical or realistic. If you listen to the various media channels you could believe that all bow ownership whether longbow, compound or crossbow is unnecessary and should be licensed as firearms are in the UK.

Let me know what your thoughts are on the subject.

This is a personal message of thanks to all those of you who have messaged me or called to offer support following the sudden death of my Mam on October 1st. I have some amazing friends and followers who have reached out to me. Thank you all.

I wanted to record how I’m feeling and trying to come to terms with the grief and loss.

Remember to enjoy your archery, but most of all reach out to friends and family and check they are ok. Don’t put it off.
