A deep‑dive conversation into the craft, mindset, and mechanics of modern archery. In this episode, Roy Canterbury sits down with competitive archer Matthieu de Caffarelli for a packed two‑hour discussion covering everything from hunting origins to high‑level tournament performance.
Matt shares how he went from buying his first bow for whitetail hunting in Quebec to chasing world‑class scores in 3D and target archery. He breaks down the realities of practice volume, the mental game, and the long road from “good” to “excellent.” The episode explores target panic, stabilizer tuning, hinge vs. thumb vs. index releases, and how tiny changes in grip, shoulder position, or shot timing can completely transform accuracy.
Roy and Matt compare coaching styles, teaching beginners, analyzing slow‑motion video, and the value of archery communities like Arch Talk 101. They dig into bow torque, hand placement, blank‑bale training, shot execution, and how to diagnose left/right or high/low misses. Matt also explains his progression through equipment setups, his IBO World Championship experience, and his plan to chase the 2027 world title.
Whether you're a hunter, a target shooter, or a coach, this episode is loaded with practical insights, real‑world fixes, and advanced technique discussions that can help any archer improve.
