We'll cover:

*Indoor to outdoor Archery and the differences

*The nuances of the Canadian Archery community

*How to Find a Coach

*Crossing the Canada/US border with Archery equipment

*Costs

*Travel

*Reviews of products that will make your life easier

*Where to shop for Archery equipment

*The importance of creating a community

*Nutrition and General Health

*Getting ready for your first outdoor tournament

*How to get involved

*What to say and what not to say to your Archer

*The future of Archery in Canada


And, we will have interviews with special guests from Canada, the USA, and abroad


There's so much more we can't wait to share with you.

  • Shoes that Stabilize: Reece's Range-tested Picks
    Jan 19 2026
    The Essential Role of Archery Footwear


    Discover why your Archer’s next performance boost might start at their feet, not their bow. In this special episode of The Archery Parent Podcast, Manisha sits down with her son, Canadian National Recurve Team member Reece Wilson‑Poyton, to break down the often-overlooked gear that underpins every shot: SHOES.


    Reece shares how the wrong footwear can quietly sabotage balance, stability, and scores. You’ll hear why cushy running shoes can make your Archer feel wobbly at full draw, why top Archers use low‑drop, wide toe‑box shoes, and how to choose a dedicated pair of “range shoes”.


    Together, Manisha and Reece walk through real‑world advice for parents and Archers:


    • Find out Reece's Top 3 shoe recommendations from personal experience and world-ranked Archers
    • Hear how footwear affects proprioception, weight distribution, and long‑day steadiness
    • Discover how shoes can quietly make or break balance, stability, and scores
    • Learn why low‑drop, wide toe‑box shoes beat other shoe options
    • Guidance on budget, the reasoning behind dedicated range shoes, and replacement tips
    • Why shoe choice becomes more important as and Archer's body awareness increases


    If you’ve ever wondered whether shoes really matter in Archery, this episode is your practical guide to building a more stable shot from the ground up.


    This is Part 1 of a two-part series with Reece. In the next episode, Reece breaks down beginner equipment so Archers can head to the pro shop with confidence. Share with one other Archery parent.
