    The Cost of Precision: Pro Shop Tips for Buying your Archer's First Set-up
    2026/05/28
    Archery Equipment 101: Pro Shops, Set-up Costs, Used Gear, and Arrow Basics with ReeceIn Part Two of my conversation with my Archer (& Pro Shop Staff) Reece, the discussion shifts from shoes to Archery equipment, emphasizing the value of supporting and learning from local pro shops versus big box stores through personalized fitting, trying gear, set-up, and tuning for comfort and consistency. Reece outlines typical costs for set-ups (in CAD$), budget options, bow components, and a whole lot of information about arrows: arrow progression, spine measurements, arrow lengths and cutting, DIY arrow-saw considerations, fletching tools, and parts of an arrow. We end the episode with Reece’s travel essentials and the beauty of Archery as a lifelong sport.Be sure to get caught up, if you missed Part 1 with Reece: "Shoes that Stabilize: Reece's Range-Tested Picks". 00:00 Welcome Back Reece00:12 Shoes Recap Advice01:00 Why Pro Shops Matter03:33 Comfort And Fit Checks04:51 Recurve Set-up Costs07:10 First Set-up Breakdown08:23 Clicker Timing Debate11:13 Buying Used Gear Safely13:21 Arrows & When to Upgrade (… & Why Not To)14:45 Arrow Spine Numbers: What it All Means20:04 Arrow Length Cutting26:00 Fletching Tools 28:35 Arrow Parts Explained31:17 Compound & Barebow Costs34:50 Travel Essentials & Conclusion----💡 Top Tips for Buying Equipment Prioritize Comfort Above All Else: When trying out gear at a pro shop, always ask your Archer (or yourself), "Is it comfortable?". If a bow feels too heavy, a grip feels wrong, or the draw length is misaligned, the fun will fade quickly.Let the Riser Grow with Your Archer: Investing in a machined riser at the start gives a solid foundation. You can easily save money on entry-level limbs or accessories first and upgrade those pieces down the road.Buy Arrows Stiff for Long-Term Savings*: If your Archer plans to slowly increase their draw weight over time, a pro shop can set them up with arrows that are a little stiff to start. These arrows will work well in the future, saving you from buying a completely separate set of arrows a few months down the line.*NOTE: This is a decision between you, your Archer, their Coach, & pro shop staff. It could be a frustrating time as your Archer adjusts.Inspect Online Used Gear in Person: Dedicated Archery forums have some amazing gems, but it can be a major risk. Always examine used items carefully for hidden damage like bent limbs, scuffed risers, or cracked arrows. Don't Rush the Clicker: A clicker is an incredible tool for draw length consistency, but introducing it too early can turn it into a mental distraction. Wait a few months until your Archer's alignment, follow-through, and shot timing are rock solid.🔗 Places, Gear, & Communities Mentioned in this EpisodePro Shops & Facilities:The Bow Shop / Shooter's Choice (Waterloo, Ontario): The local pro shop where Reece has worked for the past five yearsTrusted Online Forums & Communities for Used Gear:Nocked Nation (Facebook Forum) Archery Talk (Dedicated Archery Forum) Gear Mentioned in the Episode:Bows & Risers: Sebastien Flute (This was Reece’s beginner set-up.)SF Explorer Riser SF Axiom LimbsArrows: EastonEaston Inspires (Perfect beginner indoor arrow)Easton Avance (great mid-tier target arrow that replaced the Carbon One)Easton X10 (The elite, premier Target Archery standard)Fletching Jigs, Tools & Vanes:Bitzenburger Fletching Jigs Last Chance Jigs Beiter Tri-Liner Range-O-Matic Spin Wings Jet6 Vanes Spider Vanes Reece's Travel Essentials: A Theragun (for keeping shoulders and neck loose) and noise-canceling headphones Keywords: Reece Wilson-Poyton | Archery | Expert Archery Advice | How to Buy a Bow | Archery Pro Shop | Compound Archery | Olympic Recurve Archery | Barebow Archery | Buying Archery Equipment | Bow and Arrow Hosted on Acast.

  • The Long Game: Why 4x Olympian Crispin Dueñas Believes in "Leaving Them Alone"

    The Long Game: Why 4x Olympian Crispin Dueñas Believes in "Leaving Them Alone"
    2026/04/23
    Crispin Dueñas on Specialization, Hobbies, and Supporting Young ArchersManisha of the Archery Parent Podcast interviews Canadian Archer Crispin Dueñas, 4x Olympian and high school Math/Physics teacher, about specialization, burnout, and how parents can best support their Archer. Dueñas describes starting Archery by chance after a discussion with his Grade 8 teacher, the switch from Compound to Olympic Recurve, and developing internationally with low expectations, strong coaching, and a balanced life that included school and part-time employment as a life guard. He shares how fun, teammates, and hobbies help performance, mental health, and how to compartmentalize setbacks. Crispin highly recommends that Archers pursue goals for themselves rather than to please parents. We discuss Norway’s “Children’s Rights in Sports”, early vs late bloomers, the shock of international competition, taking breaks, and changing equipment to reset. Dueñas also shares how music led to playing guitar with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, meeting the former Prince Charles (now HRH King Charles), his announcing work, and travel tips (always try the local food, tolerating McDonald’s if needed, and learning to sleep anywhere).00:00 Welcome Crispin Dueñas00:36 Leave Kids Alone01:43 How Archery Found Him03:09 The Teacher Who Changed Everything04:15 Why Archery Clicked05:38 Switching to Olympic Recurve06:46 The Pan Am Games (Toronto)08:12 Relaxed Path to Elite10:34 Balancing School Work & Sport12:12 Keeping the Fun in High Performance13:22 Coaching Without Pressure16:22 Why Hobbies Make You Better19:49 “Sport Room” Metaphor from Author David Epstein22:21 A Parent’s Fear their Archer is Falling Behind25:29 Extreme Specialization Tradeoffs26:52 Playing With Canadian Astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield27:42 Musical Roots29:48 Meeting Prince Charles31:16 The Invictus Games (Toronto)32:41 Hobbies Prevent Burnout34:48 Post Season Slump37:36 Taking a Break from Archery40:54 Norway Youth Policy: “Children’s Rights in Sport”45:33 Big Fish in a Little Pool Reality Check49:44 Run Archery 51:57 Travel Tips And WrapREFERENCESNotable PeopleJoan McDonald: Crispin’s long-time coach who guided him from his early days through his international career.

  • Blueprinting the Shot: A Parent's Guide with Joel Turner

    Blueprinting the Shot: A Parent's Guide with Joel Turner
    2026/03/26

    In this episode of the Archery Parent Podcast, Manisha interviews Joel Turner, Archery Dad, and developer of the SHOTIQ approach to performance. Joel reveals why Archery is "just shy of impossible" and how parents can actually help their Archer develop the "ultimate skill of the human being". The discussion includes teaching work ethic, how school-based programs can lead to target panic, and why "just relax" doesn't work.


    Joel shares the difference between thoughts and thinking, and the one question that can refocus your Archer when things are falling apart. Joel also takes to task the many parents and mid-level coaches who overemphasize form when an Archer's thoughts become too much.


    Learn the speech-based “blueprint” of an Archer's process, the foundation of the SHOTIQ system. Hint: It's about getting loud in your head with the right words at the right moments.


    Joel also explains how to handle tournament stress and spectators, and answers a question from a listener worried about his Archer's emotional and physical changes going from the easy backyard practices to the intense tournament expectations.


    We talk about parent support cues and Turner Family travel tips (avoid connections, AirTags, hydration/electrolytes).
