This week Matty is joined by Darrin Christenberry.

Darrin is a part of the pro staff for Elite Archery and does the rounds of the archery & 3D competitive scene in America and other parts of the world.

He’s lived and breathed archery for the majority of his adult life, including working within the industry.

Over the last few years, though, Darrin came up again with some of the worst possible target panic known to the archery world.

So much so that he almost packed in his whole career.

However, instead of throwing it away, Darrin did something drastic and rebuilt himself as a left-handed shooter.

After a two-year rebuild, Darrin has been able to stand back on the top of the podium.

And in today's episode, the boys go deep into unpacking the mental hurdles and obstacles Darrin had to overcome.
