We return for the second part of this two-part episode with more honest and unfiltered reflections on Roberta's journey through archery thus far. From awkward anchor points to unexpected breakthroughs, we continue the conversation about physical setbacks, mental focus and what it really means to chase consistency in a sport that refuses perfection.
With humour, sharp insight and a healthy dose of sarcasm, we talk about competitions...
In this episode, Owen takes the interviewer mic and Roberta takes centre stage. We’re looking back on nearly a year of archery, chats and general chaos, and digging into what keeps people coming back week after week. It’s not just about hitting the gold, it’s about headspace, routine, and remembering who you are outside of the school runs and day job.
Roberta opens up about what archery has done for her; not just the technique or t...
We’re back with another episode where absolutely nothing is planned but everything somehow comes together. This week, there is a bit of chat about Roberta’s new bow (christened “Bain”), the joys and disasters of string making, archery safety, Metallica dreams, and losing arrows in the woods.

Owen breaks down every major format: indoor vs. outdoor, target vs. field, 3D rounds, and the nuanced differences between traditional, barebow, recurve, and compound setups, while Robbie tries not to have a breakdown.
We talk competition formats, common begin...
We’re chatting all things getting started from the buzz of your first shot to the joys of perfecting your own bow until it feels just right. We’re talking beginner blunders, dodgy footwork, eye dominance, and the magic of just getting out there and giving it a lash. How archery is for everyone, regardless of age or physical abilities. You don’t need to be built like a tank, just have a bit of curiosity and the will to stick with it...
Is being a member of an archery club important? If so, why? What are the benefits of membership, and how does the archery community work? Owen joins me to answer these questions and more.

He's here! The man, the myth, the Stringfellow legend (not *that* Stringfellow!) that is Owen!
