Para archery is a sport of precision, strategy, and resilience. In this in-depth conversation, Team Canada’s Kyle Tremblay explains the structure of para archery competitions, from qualification rounds and elimination matches to the intense pressure of single-arrow shoot-offs.

Kyle opens up about his journey into para archery after an accident, the challenges of competing in a sport where focus and consistency are everything, and how he rebuilt his confidence after returning from injury. He reflects on highlights like winning a Parapan Am bronze in a dramatic shoot-off and setting a personal best at the Paris Paralympics.

The discussion also dives into the mental game, training under pressure, and the technical side of archery—from equipment tuning to handling environmental factors like wind and heat. Kyle shares his sights on future competitions, including the 2026 Pan American Championships, the World Championships in Australia, and the road toward LA 2028.

Plus, with the NFL season officially underway Alex and Dave have a para sport fantasy draft to create the best Paralympic Games!
