In this episode of Bowhunt or Die, Tim and Troy head to northwest Illinois with just one evening to scout and one morning to hunt. After using trail camera intel and a sunset observation to pinpoint a gobbler's movements, the plan comes together exactly as drawn up when a big tom walks into range on the final day of the Illinois turkey season. But that's only half the story. We also rewind to youth season, where Drake battles nerves, overcomes his fear of the shotgun, and makes a perfect shot on his turkey with Dad right by his side. It's a special hunt filled with family, encouragement, and a memory they'll never forget.

After days of getting outplayed by call-shy gobblers, changing blind locations, dealing with storms, silent birds, and frustrating close calls… it finally all came together. This episode follows two different turkey hunts and two hunters grinding through the chaos of spring turkey season. From birds hanging up across the water to split-second encounters inside bow range, nothing came easy.

In this episode, Matty sits down with New Zealand ecologist and Sika Foundation member Cam Speedy for a deep dive into Sika deer, deer ecology, habitat management, and the role hunters play in conservation. Cam shares decades of experience working in wildlife management throughout New Zealand, including predator control, deer tracking studies, biodiversity work, and research around Sika deer populations in the Central North Island. The conversation explores how deer density directly impacts habitat quality, breeding success, antler growth, and overall herd health. Cam explains why healthy hunting systems rely on balanced harvests, particularly around female deer, and how hunters themselves often act as the primary predator within modern deer systems. There's also a fascinating breakdown of Sika deer behaviour, including rut timing, scrape systems, home ranges, dispersal patterns, and why Sika have become such a sought-after species for bowhunters. This is a grounded conversation that blends science, practical hunting knowledge, and conservation into one of the most detailed discussions we've had on deer ecology and management.

Mike Cascini joins the Okayest Hunter Podcast to break down the side of archery and bowhunting most people completely overlook: the mental game. From target panic and self-doubt to elite-level performance psychology, this episode dives into how mindset impacts everything from shooting tournaments to punching tags. We also get into deer camp stories, New Jersey hunting culture, performance under pressure, ego in hunting, and why some of the best hunters and archers are usually the quietest people in the room. If you've ever struggled with confidence behind the bow, overthinking shots, comparing yourself to others, or simply trying to become more consistent as a hunter, this one's worth the listen. We hit on the following topics: Archery performance psychology Target panic Bowhunting mindset Mental coaching in archery Confidence and consistency Hunting culture and ego Deer camp stories Tournament archery pressure The overlap between life, business, and hunting Shout out to our partners: ⁠Latitude Outdoors: ⁠Mobile hunting gear built for hunters who'd rather keep moving than sit in the same spot wondering if the wind betrayed them again. ⁠Rack Hub: ⁠Simple, smart gear storage that helps organize the growing pile of hunting equipment we all swear we actually need. ⁠Gerber Gear: ⁠Knives, tools, and gear built to actually get used instead of just photographed on tailgates. ⁠ASIO Gear: ⁠Technical hunting apparel designed for serious pursuit without taking yourself too seriously. ⁠HLRBO: ⁠Access to private land opportunities without the headache of knocking on doors or chasing down permission slips.

For this episode we are joined by Eric Clark from the Okayest Hunter crew!  Eric has been a part of building an outdoor brand based on overcoming stereotypes, making it "okay" to hunt the way you want to hunt and having a healthy stewardship over our wildlife and habitats.  Our conversation covers a lot of ground to include social media misconceptions about hunting, public land hunting, conservation, the overall popularity of hunting, some of Eric's hunting experiences that have made an impact on him and more!  Eric and Okayest Hunter believe that hunts are not measured in inches or mounts, but rather experiences and memories!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Week two of Wisconsin turkey season turns into an absolute grind. Rainy mornings, silent gobblers, pressured birds, blown opportunities, and long sits in the blind had us questioning everything... until a subtle move finally paid off. After struggling on heavily pressured birds the hunt shifts north to Chippewa County where the gobblers barely make a sound. With cold mornings, frosty ridges, and “deer hunting for turkeys” tactics, patience finally leads to an unforgettable encounter.

Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it — life got in the way and we missed a week. But we’re back, and this one was worth the wait. Joe Epple is one of those guys who doesn’t fit neatly into a box. Retired professional football player. CFL veteran. Director of Business Development for Wild TV — Canada’s largest hunt and fish TV network. Co-host of The Edge, now in its 17th season. Father of two boys. Columbia blacktail hunter. Stone sheep chaser. A 6’8″ giant of a man who grew up in Squamish, British Columbia, hunting for meat and mushrooming in the rain just to make ends meet — and who somewhere along the way figured out that all those lessons in the wet coastal bush were actually building the foundation for everything that came after. This episode goes deep on what it really means to make the transition from professional athlete to serious hunter, and why the skills that make you elite in sports — goal-setting, resilience, the ability to learn from getting your ass kicked — translate directly to the mountains. Joe talks about growing up in a logging family that hunted out of necessity, not recreation. About being the fat, knock-kneed kid who nobody bet on, who started going to a rusty prison gym at 13 and never looked back. About how hunting blacktails in the miserable, soaking wet coastal bluffs of BC taught him to push through discomfort long before any football field did. We get into the mental game of hunting — specifically what it looks like when you’ve got 14-day fly-in stone sheep hunts on one end of the spectrum and a four-year-old who snaps every branch and asks to go back to the truck every five minutes on the other. How do you stay present? How do you keep the long game in mind when you’re sitting in the gutter on day 10 of a backcountry hunt wondering why you’re not home with your family? Joe’s got a framework for that, and it’s worth hearing. We talk about Kristen’s bear — a giant boar that’ll likely crack the top 15 all-time in the province. About Joe’s most-prized blacktail taken at 12 yards with a bow. About why archery hunting teaches you more about your weaknesses as a hunter than anything else. About what it’s like to hunt stone sheep as a resident in BC for a fraction of what nonresidents pay, and why he still hasn’t punched an archery tag on one. And about the pressure social media puts on new hunters to skip the learning curve entirely and shoot a 200-inch muley on their first trip out. Joe’s a straight shooter (pun intended), genuinely humble, and packed with perspective from both sides of the fence — the elite athlete world and the deep wilderness backcountry. This one’s got range. Turn it up. Episode Sponsors onX Hunt If you’re hunting out west and you’re not running onX, I don’t know what to tell you — it’s not optional at this point, it’s foundational.

The Outdoors Builds the Foundation — Not the Other Way Around Joe flipped the typical narrative. Most people assume athletic success leads to outdoor opportunity. For Joe, it was the blacktail hunts in the BC rain — the cold hands, the wet wool pants, the days you saw nothing and came back a prune — that built the grit that eventually carried him to pro football. The outdoors taught him to show up when it sucks, because the lesson is in the discomfort. If you’ve ever wondered why some people can push through brutal hunting conditions while others fold, this conversation gives you the answer: it’s not a hunting skill, it’s a life skill — and you build it long before you ever draw a tag. 2. Play the Long Game With Your Kids Joe and Cody both land in the same place on this one: the goal isn’t to turn your four-year-old into a stealthy, branch-free hunting machine. The goal is to make sure they ask to go again. Unlimited bubbly water. Bring the toy excavator. Let them jump on every frozen puddle. Have a dance party in the mountains before you sneak over the ridge. The association you build right now — “hunting is fun, hunting is where we laugh and eat good snacks and do dumb stuff together” — is worth more than any lesson you could drill into them about staying quiet. The discipline will come. The desire to be out there has to come first. 3. Stop Writing the Story Before It’s Over Two or three days without seeing an animal and most hunters start mentally packing it in. Joe’s been there on 14-day fly-in hunts when the wheels come off and you start questioning every decision. His counterintuitive advice: that’s the point. That’s the adventure. The highs wouldn’t mean what they mean without the lows, and things change in a moment — a bull materializes, a bear steps into the open, the hunt you’ve been grinding finally breaks your way. The story isn’t finished until you’re back in the truck. Stay in the field. Stay sharp. The last two days have a funny way of making up for everything that came before.

Our ed staff talks about archery practice...the ease, fun and practicality of it all.

Turkey hunting has a way of humbling you fast… and this hunt was no exception. From blown-over blinds to missed shots and stubborn gobblers that refused to commit, this one felt like a nonstop battle against bad luck. But sometimes the chaos is what makes the payoff even sweeter. In this episode of Bowhunt or Die, Todd teams up with friends for a wild spring turkey hunt packed with close calls, hilarious moments, aggressive gobbling, and a last-minute decision that changes everything. After striking out with the bow and watching opportunities slip away, Todd finally does the “unthinkable” and grabs the shotgun for a run-and-gun hunt through the woods.

In this episode, Matty sits down with long-time mate and experienced red deer hunter Mick Cullen. Mick is someone who's been in Matty's ear for years, helping break down mistakes and sharpen decision-making in the field. This is a practical conversation about what actually works when you're chasing red deer in the rut. Mick shares the systems he's developed over more than a decade of consistent hunting. From calling setups and reading terrain, to understanding how stags behave across different phases of the rut. There's a big focus on execution under pressure, why most hunters get busted at the last moment, and the small decisions that separate blown opportunities from clean kills. Podcast topics: Early vs late rut behaviour and when calling works bestWhy wind and setup matter more than the call itselfUsing terrain (benches, folds, cover) to force movementDrawing early vs getting busted at full drawHind & fawn calls vs stag roarsSpot-and-stalk vs calling, and when to use eachWhy most hunts fall apart inside 50mThe importance of repetition and experience Find Our Guest: Mick Cullen Instagram: @bows_dogs_n_rods Follow Becoming a Bowhunter Instagram: @becomingabowhunter.podcast Hosted by: @mattyafter

The crew returns to finish building Pathfinder 2e Fighters, but first they must survive the true final boss of tabletop podcasting: technical difficulties, cursed spell names, mysterious bugs, and Tyler being physically defeated by his cat (again). Somewhere between Spider Missile, Bigby's Big Spider, and a cat-based sneak attack on the microphone cables, the episode remembers it is supposed to be about Fighters. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we continue building Pathfinder 2e Fighters from levels 11 through 20, and the class goes from reliable martial powerhouse to legally questionable blender with opinions. Randall keeps chasing the dream of the biggest possible hit, Tyler builds a reaction-fueled control monster with a gnome flickmace, and Ash leans into the archer fantasy with trick shots, ricochets, and enough arrows to make every hallway a liability. The discussion covers high-level Fighter class feats, armor and weapon proficiency progression, automatic bonus progression, ancestry feats, and the awkward joy of realizing halfway through a build that you should have planned for a composite longbow. Along the way, the hosts talk through why planning a Pathfinder 2e character to level 20 can save pain later, why Pathbuilder is a gift to society, and why high-level Fighters are so good at critting that some feats sound better than they actually are. Also, Quorra the cat attacks Tyler's setup, which is probably the most accurate simulation of a Pathfinder encounter in the entire episode. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e Fighters become legendary with their chosen weapon group at level 13, making them terrifyingly accurate compared to other martial characters. High-level Fighter feats can dramatically shape a build, from Whirlwind Strike and Overwhelming Blow to Impossible Volley and Weapon Supremacy. Automatic bonus progression helps track expected gear math, including armor bonuses, weapon damage dice, and apex attribute boosts. Planning a Pathfinder 2e build ahead matters, especially when weapon traits, feat chains, and ability boosts affect long-term effectiveness. Archery builds can work well, but they require more careful feat and equipment planning than some melee Fighter builds. Reactions become a huge part of Tyler's control build, especially with riposte options that punish enemies for missing. Weapon Supremacy is a strong capstone because being permanently quickened for extra Strikes is exactly what Fighters want. Cats remain undefeated against podcast equipment.

This week, I'm playing around with a variation of the archery technique I was working on last week (holding arrows in my bow hand) but also combining it with another technique, holding a few in my drawing hand also.  They each have their pros and cons, but I think Logan and Aurora might have played around with both, and probably others.At the suggestion of former show guest Billy Campbell, I have been reading the fantasy book, A Wizard of Earthsea.  This is actually my third time trying to get into it - once as a child, once in my 20s, and then again, twenty+ years after that.   Third time's the charm, I suppose.  I found it quite difficult to understand before, but I think the combination of an initially unlikeable protagonist and the dreamy, myth-like writing style were initial barriers that have grown on me this round.  The tale is a great example of how sometimes, you can and should break the rule of "show, not tell," because it is very much the sort of thing you might be told around a fire on a dark winter's night.  One interesting fact is that the author of the book, Ursula Le Guin, had parents who were anthtopologists - Theodora and Alfred Krober.  Alfred Krober was one of the anthropologists who worked with Ishi, the last of the Yahi people in California after they were killed in massacres in the late 1880s.  In 1911, Ishi was "found" (i.e. emerged from hiding, half staved) and brought to San Francisco.  He became part of an anthropology museum, working a job and demonstrating traditional Native American skills for museum attendees and forming what sounded like a genuine friendship with the anthropologists, who also recorded his reactions to 20th century life.  He would later also befriend a University of CA physician, Saxton Pope, around archery, and their collaboration would basically form the basis for a re-mergence of traditional bowhunting in the United States.  Unfortunately, Ishi died in 1916 of pulmonary TB.  Alfred Krober was away on sabbatical at the time, and for whatever reason, Ishi's body underwent an autopsy, and his brain was removed.  Alfred was very upset by all of this when he returned and found the subject quite difficult to talk about for years.  Decades later, his wife wrote the book, Ishi in Two Worlds, that became very popular.   The fact that Ursula Le Guin undoubtedly grew up hearing her parents talk about Ishi makes me wonder if her writing style for this book, reminiscent of a myth, was influenced by her parents' work, and if her protagonist for the book, Ged, portrayed as having reddish - brown skin, was not in some way influenced by Ishi.  Of note, Ged was given that name by his master teacher, just as Ishi was given that name since no one knew his real name.  I think the custom in his tribe was for someone else to introduce a person to another by name, and since there was no one else of his tribe left, the Yahi word for man ("ishi") was used instead.  In Le Guin's Eathsea books, magic stems from knowing an object's true name.  It's a sign of acknowledgement and respect that commands power and summons the natural forces of the Earth.  Part of me wonders if this was again an ode of Ishi, who died without anyone in the living world know his true name.  I don't know, but I do wonder at the connection.   Pictures: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-560-thirteenth-hour-sequel-update-9-working-a-fast-shooting-archery-technique-ishi-a-wizard-of-earthsea/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Opening morning in Northern Illinois kicks off with sky-high expectations, a perfect setup, and gobblers everywhere… but nothing goes as planned. In this episode of Bowhunt or Die, Kurt dives into one of the most frustrating turkey hunts you'll ever see. Birds are everywhere, circling decoys, hanging up just out of range, and busting him at every move. Hunting without a blind proves just how brutal bowhunting turkeys can be. Then a massive Midwest storm rolls through — bringing tornado warnings, heavy rain, and uncertainty about whether the hunt is even still possible. But when the weather finally breaks, everything changes.

Chance Beaubouef has been a professional archer for many years. We caught up with the Champ after securing a win in the Men's Open Pro Division at the most recent ASA Pro/AM at Camp Minden Louisiana.

This week, I'm playing around with something I saw in a Franco-Belgian comic book from the late 70s/80s called Thorgal, written by Jean Van Hamme and illustrated by Grzegorz Rosiński, about the child of a race of people from elsewhere in the universe who crash land on Earth.  The child (Thorgal) is raised by Vikings and grows up to be a very skilled archer. I just discovered this comic on a trip to visit my brother across the pond.  We ended up taking the Chunnel from London to Paris, and there is this one section of the city where there are a whole bunch of comic book stores.  We went into one that had mainly French comics.  It was absolutely amazing in terms of art, though I only know a few words of French so could not really read anything.  But I found a few volumes in English, and a Thorgal comic was one of them.  I was attracted to the title of this volume (The Archers), and even though it was sealed (as is often the case with most comic book shops), decided I'd buy it on impulse.It was basically something I would have totally done as a kid - bought a book because the cover looked cool and opened it up to find I couldn't understand what I'd just bought since I'd purchased the 4th volume out of 9 or something and had missed all the backstory.  But I will say, though that was technically the case, I have heard that these volumes are more stand alone-ish that typical American comics.  I didn't have much trouble figuring out what was going on.  I was also pleasantly surprised to find that Thorgal, his wife, and their son end up living on a remote island, just like Logan and Aurora do at the end of The Thirteenth Hour.  My impression was that they did it for similar reasons, too - to be left alone in peace from the chaos of an ever intruding world. In the volume, there were a few scenes depicting characters shooting very quickly using a way of reloading arrows off the hand holding the bow, a technique I'd seen and tried before but never successfully.  I tend to favor holding extra arrows in the hand drawing the string, but I thought I'd give this one another try.  It looks like the illustrator knew a thing or two about this technique himself, and I love that he took the time to depict this little detail, probably knowing a lot of people would probably miss it.  So in this episode, I play around with a few different techniques inspired by these panels.   Though I'm drawing the bow with my thumb and not the pads of my fingers like the characters in the comic, I found that what is drawn does actually work, more or less.  This is the hand position I found most successful, with the arrows under my middle finger:Anyhow, it's something I figured Logan and Aurora might find themselves using in the sequel, so I figured I owed it to myself to figure it out so I could write and draw about it.  More coming soon!Pictures: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/04/27/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-559-thirteenth-hour-sequel-update-8-trying-a-fast-shooting-archery-technique-inspired-by-thorgal/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form!  It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.)-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

A slow start doesn't mean the hunt is over. After a tough morning filled with close calls, shifting flocks, and blown opportunities, the decision is made to switch gears and go mobile. With birds disappearing and the heat setting in, it's time to cover ground, glass new areas, and take a shot at public land. What follows is a fast-paced spot-and-stalk play—closing the distance, reading terrain, and making a bold move with a fan setup to pull a fired-up tom into range.

This one's a full recap of the 2026 rut and for once, it's not just close calls. Across three separate hunts, Matty breaks down what actually played out in the field… the wins, the stuff-ups, and the moments that could've gone either way. The episode moves through three key hunts: A March trip focused on getting the drop on a red deer, gone a little differently.Easter weekend on family ground, including a camel hunt and pig encountersA return to the family red deer block during peak rut, putting everything together There's a bit of everything in this one…  calling sequences that worked (and didn't), pressure getting the better of moments, wild dog encounters, and what happens when things don't go to plan but still come together over time. It's not polished. It's just how it happened. Podcast topics: Breaking the rut into three separate hunts and what changed across eachEarly mistakes under pressure: rushing shots and missing opportunitiesLessons from hunting with experienced hunters and adjusting setup decisionsDrawing early vs drawing late, and why it matters more than you thinkCalling strategies: when to use hind calls vs roarsHow stags actually respond when pressured by other deer in the areaA close-range wild dog encounter and the mental side of making the shot countThe reality of pressure in the moment, even when you've done the workCamel hunting… stalking, shot placement, and dealing with sheer sizeWhat happens when a hunt turns into a logistical challenge (heat, meat, time)Managing meat recovery and processing when things don't go to planReturning to the red deer block during peak rutReading wind, terrain, and access differently after previous experienceHow small decisions (where you park, where you listen) change everythingThe importance of patience and positioning during the roarWhy some hunts finally come together after years of near misses You can do all the right prep. Shoot well, train hard, understand animals — and still mess it up in the moment. But over enough time in the bush, those lessons stack. And eventually… things start to go your way.

On this Week's Episode we are re-running one of our most beloved episodes on Brian's first ever archery bull elk. Fourteen days of hunting and a whole crew of friends at his back, this was a hunt that Brian has not and will never forget. Originally posted on September 29th of 2022, this episode stands out as one of Brian and Brad's favorite western hunting stories, and a great walk down memory lane.

We opened the mic's up and had a general discussion with the just us. Be sure and watch the ASA's FB page with up coming weather for the weekend. Possibly some shooting changes could be going on. Be sure and watch the Pro/Am this weekend for the shoot offs.

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Chris Romano for a deep and wide-ranging conversation that starts with fatherhood and quickly transitions into the evolving world of archery and bowhunting. From raising young kids and introducing them to the outdoors to sharing moments through music and everyday life, the discussion highlights how hunting often intersects with the bigger picture of family, growth, and passing on tradition. It's a relatable look at how priorities shift over time, and how the outdoors continues to play a meaningful role through every stage of life. The conversation then dives headfirst into the science of arrow flight — breaking down everything from arrow spine and FOC to drag, vane configuration, and real-world performance on animals. Chris shares his journey down the “rabbit hole” of optimizing archery setups, challenging conventional thinking and exploring how modern equipment and deeper understanding can improve both accuracy and effectiveness in the field. More than just a technical discussion, this episode emphasizes education over ego, encouraging hunters to understand their equipment, question assumptions, and continually strive to become more ethical and effective in their pursuit.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with FWP Education Program Assistant Ryan Schmaltz about the Archery in the Schools Program. First, you all are going to love Ryan! He has so much energy and enthusiasm for this program and man what a job he has done! He has been all over Montana getting schools involved in this amazing program and training teachers how to teach it. Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks has been championing this program for about 15 years but over the last few years it has really taken off! It is part of the National Archery in the Schools Program or NASP which has, since its inception in 2002, reached over 23.5 million students, primarily in grades 4-12. The program operates in all 50 states, boasting a 50-50% male/female participation rate. But get this, in Montana last year alone about 150 schools included the program in their PE classes with over 14,000 Montana youngsters participating! But this is more than kids shooting arrows at targets and blocks of foam shaped like animals. It is changing most all the kids that participate! That is why you have GOT to watch or listen to this podcast. You can do that on MontanaOutdoor.com, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and many other websites and directories! Here is an example of what we mean by changing the kids. Ryan pointed out that in the recent State Tournament that a whole bunch of schools traveled to Helena to participate in, he looked out over the sea of well over 200 4th through 12th graders and did not see one child looking at a cell phone during the entire tournament. Oh, they had their phones with them, sticking out of their pockets and such but THEY WERE FOCUSED! As Rigger put it, “THAT is unheard of and just flat amazing! When has anyone ever seen that many kids and not one is looking a cell phone?!” Oh, but there are even more positive ways that this ancient sport is affecting our kids so be sure and watch this podcast now to find out more!Links:Click here to learn more about the National Archery in the Schools Program or NASP.To learn more about the program in Montana click here.Questions for Ryan?

How do you turn a passion for bow hunting into a business that builds community and changes lives? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Sam Westfall, an Army veteran and founder of Archery in Motion, who has created a unique space where veterans and civilians alike can experience the challenge, camaraderie, and healing that comes from the discipline of the bow."I break every one of those rules," Sam explains about traditional archery tournaments. Instead of rigid competition formats with scorecards and egos, he's built something different—fun shoots that challenge experienced archers while welcoming complete beginners. From steel targets to moving targets to shots beyond 40 yards, Sam's approach prioritizes the experience of archery over the formality of competition.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Sam's honest discussion about the entrepreneurial journey. From presenting at a Bunker Labs pitch night where he met Otis, to navigating the challenge of growing both the archery market and his slice of it, Sam shares practical insights about building a business around a lifestyle. Whether discussing the importance of eye placement in archery (and life), the cost of recovering arrows from steel targets, or the philosophy of "no scorecards, no egos," this episode offers lessons for anyone trying to turn their passion into sustainable business.Whether you're a veteran transitioning to entrepreneurship, an outdoor enthusiast interested in archery, or a business owner trying to balance growth strategies, Sam's journey from competitive archer to community builder provides a roadmap for creating something meaningful that serves others while doing what you love.More About Sam:Sam Westfall is an Army veteran, entrepreneur, competitive archer, and veteran community builder who believes archery can change lives. With decades of experience in hunting and shooting sports, he works to create opportunities for veterans and civilians alike to find challenge, camaraderie, and healing through the discipline of the bow.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Real Deal, No AI Here [00:00 - 03:04]Welcome and meet Sam WestfallArmy veteran, entrepreneur, and competitive archerThe authenticity check: proving it's really SamSetting up the archery conversation"Eye Placement Is Everything" [03:04 - 12:21]The importance of eye placement in archeryHow focus and discipline translate from bow to lifeThe fundamentals that matter mostWhy archery requires such precisionFrom Lifestyle to Business: The Archery in Motion Story [12:21 - 13:04]How Sam converted bow hunting into entrepreneurshipMeeting Otis at Bunker Labs pitch nightThe veterans into business programPresenting Archery in Motion for the first time"I Break Every One of Those Rules" [13:04 - 32:06]Traditional archery tournament rules and restrictionsWhy Sam went his own directionSteel targets, moving targets, and challenging shotsCreating space for both beginners and expertsThe philosophy: "Let them experience what archery should be—fun"No Scorecards, No Egos [32:06 - 30:50]The fun shoot approach vs. traditional competitionBuilding community without the pressurePlanning one true competition later in the yearWhy most events focus on play, not performanceGrowing the Slice vs. Growing the Pie [30:50 - 32:44]Camden's question about growth philosophyGetting more people into archery overallBeing the best option within the archery marketThe mix of both strategies in Sam's approachWelcoming brand new archers with low barriers to entryThe Cost of Missing Steel Targets [32:44 - 32:06]Otis's Alaska archery certification storyShooting at steel silhouettes with vital zonesClassmates spending extra to recover arrowsTh

Trail talks with Towson Jenkins to break down their weekend at the Las Vegas archery shoot—the nerves, the pressure, and everything they learned stepping into one of the largest archery shoots in the world. They get into why they decided to shoot it in the first place, how their setups performed, and what surprised them most when it counted. From equipment choices and mental game struggles to shot execution under pressure, this episode is a raw look at what happens when bowhunters step into the target world. They also connect the dots back to hunting—what actually translates, what doesn't, and how this experience will change the way they approach next season.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook
