Welcome to the first podcast of 2026, crazy to think we arealready in February. I hope 2026 is treating you well and any new year resolutions you made are still going well.

I will admit to having a bit of a rant at the start of this episode concerning the appalling service we have received from TUI airlines following our long flight delay when returning home. After everything that happened end of last year we decided to book a ski holiday, which was fantastic but the flight home was delayed for hours.

Anyway lets change the subject to more archery related. Inthe episode I give my thoughts on the proposals that have been sent out to NFAS members for voting on this yearconcerning rule changes. Some of which I like others of which I am less keen on.

Let me know what you think.

Welcome to the last podcast of 2025. It’s crazy to think 2025is almost over.

In this episode, where I dare to be in front of the camera,rather than just a voice, I give a quick review of 2025 from Off the Arrow Shelf HQ, also known as my office come fletchingroom, but more importantly I get the opportunity to say thanks to all my followers, listeners and subscribers.

I have been very fortunate to have some fantastic guests this year from the world of archery, scouting and beyond.

I would also like to give a special thanks to my friends whohave been amazing this year.

As for 2026? I have a few ideas of 3d reviews and coaching topics.In the meantime remember to enjoy your archery.

In this episode I am joined by Chris Mussell who is a scoutleader and archer, where we have a long conversation about the role archery has in the scouting organisation in the UK. Discussing not just coaching scouts of all ages in archery in all forms from soft archery to shooting a simple field course, but also what is involved with training the scout leaders in the what’s required to run a session for scouts.

It provides a really good insight into how the scoutingorganisation plans, runs and controls the rules of shooting for scouts and leaders.

Of course we do tangent at times into other archery relatedtopics as we have known each other for several years.
