Episode 28: Bow Shooting and Arrow Throwing with Patricia Gonsalves

Into the Greenwood

Patricia Gonsalves is the founder of Lykopis Archery, an expert on historical archery, a competitor in international traditional archery competitions, was the archery consultant for the television shows, 'Arrow' and 'The Flash', and was the first person that came to my mind when I first started this podcast.
During our wide ranging discussion we touch upon the earliest bows we know from the archaeological record, what it's like to work in Hollywood, how to make one's own bow and arrows, the physics of archery, different styles of shooting and much much more!
