In this video I look back at everything I did in 2025, both on and off the shooting line — competitions, training, gear reviews, coaching, engraving with lasers and 3d Printing. I also talk openly about what worked, what didn’t, and what I’ve got planned for 2026 for this channel and my own archery journey. Most importantly, I want to hear from you.

About This Video

In this end-of-year chat I look back at what I actually got done in 2025, both on the shooting line and in the workshop, and then I lay out my rough plan for 2026. My main goal for 2025 was to crack 5,000 subscribers and keep the channel ticking over with roughly one video a week (plus some shorts), and I managed it. The first half of the year was mostly me getting my recurve shot routine back on track (I’ve still been working through Online Archery Academy), then mid-year I changed things up and jumped properly into target compound. The big gear shift was picking up the Topoint Reliance 38 Pro and setting it up myself. It’s affordable, yes it’s Chinese, but I genuinely rate how it shoots—smooth and just easy to live with—and I’ve been enjoying it enough that I’ve entered multiple comps for 2026 as compound. I also built out the archery workshop/studio (bow press, bow vise, updated string jig, drawboard), and I’ve been having a lot of fun with the “maker” side too: a gifted AlgoLaser Alpha M2 for engraving (including medals for our club shoot) and a 3D printer that’s been a total game changer for grips, wall mounts, and even TPU arm guards. For 2026, I’m aiming to compete more (Masters Games in Dunedin, Kenny Rogers Memorial in Christchurch, and Naroli Fair Hall again), keep the recurve going, do more DIY/workshop builds, and test more gear—plus I want your input on what you want more of next year.
