Ever wondered what archery and a bit of healthy chaos have in common? In this episode, Roberta and Owen dive into everything a beginner needs to know before stepping onto the competition field. From waxing your string to why you really don’t need to bring a compass. Plus, a brief near-death experience involving a candle and a cup of tea.
Expect personal stories, coughing, and plenty of practical advice, including what to pack (and what not to), navigating the IFAC/IFAA registration process, and whether popping a squat in the woods is a legitimate part of the sport (spoiler: it kind of is). Oh, and someone might’ve set a record… sort of.
Whether you’re gearing up for your first shoot or just love the culture of the sport, this episode covers it all.
Topics Include:
- Registration, gear checks & bow speed limits
- First-time nerves and what to expect
- Dress codes, carbon arrows, and controversial trousers
- Realistic kit lists vs. “pack-donkey” tendencies
- Community support & informal buddy systems
- And yes… etiquette for emergencies in the woods
