  • Bane the Bow: Observing My Stubborn Avoidance
    Jan 2 2026

    Haaaaaaaapppyyyyyy New Year!!

    After a couple of quiet months and more skipped sessions than planned, Roberta talks honestly about nearly walking away from archery. Not in a dramatic way, but in the slow, avoid-the-bow-and-hope-it-goes-away kind of way.

    This is about burnout, expectations, stalled progress, comparison, and how a hobby you love can quietly turn into something heavy. There’s no comeback arc or life lessons here. Just Roberta, a neglected bow (Bane), and turning up again, this time using her stubbornness for something vaguely helpful.

  • Misconceptions & New Friends Needed
    Nov 3 2025

    This week, Roberta dives into the world of archery misconceptions which include what her friends think she does to the messy and often humbling reality of practice.

    Her brain has given up so this episode is brought to you by a rogue chia seed. Roberta breaks down myths like “archery is easy,” “you just point and shoot,” and “it’s a calm hobby”. There’s even talk of why anger might sometimes help your aim (but don’t quote her on that).
