Learning archery online is possible — but only up to a point. Online training works best for building a solid technical foundation. You can learn shooting form, understand alignment, develop consistency and follow structured exercises at your own pace. In many cases, this is more efficient than occasional in-person lessons, simply because you can repeat and revisit the material as often as needed. However, there are clear limitations. Archery is a physical skill. Small detail

Training a horse for mounted archery is not about teaching it to tolerate shooting. It’s about building the right foundation first. A horse that is relaxed, balanced, and responsive without rein contact will always be easier to train than one that relies on the rider’s hands for control. This is where the process starts. Before introducing any equipment, the horse should be able to: move calmly in all gaits maintain rhythm without rein contact respond to seat and voice aids W

A training diary built for sports that don’t fit into templates After years of tracking training in Excel, I finally reached a point where it was clear: this needed to exist as an app. Most training diary apps work well for mainstream sports, but once training becomes more specific, discipline-based metrics and flexibility quickly run out. For six years, Excel was the only option because it allowed me to track exactly what mattered — but it was far from practical, especially
