PC 347 - Archery Basics & Bowhunting Adequate with Nate Huizenga and Quinn Badder.

In this podcast I sit down with two grass roots fellas. We have recently finished filming a series for hunter’s education graduates that take advantage of some access to bettering their progression as new hunter. We also talk through some important things that all of us should put into practice. Nate is a great guy and has such a positive and holistic view on the outdoors. Quinn is an inspiring digital creator with an eye to details and a passion to capture great educational content. 

PC 346 - Getting better memories of the hunt!

In this podcast I sit down with three experts behind a lens and in the editing room Caleb Copeland, Casey VanDerGraaf and Joe Chiarappa. Although these 3 fellas are experts beind the lens and in the studio I try to get them to simplify the most important things for all of us doing our own video and photos for our hunts or social media. We get into a lot of subjects including self filming, gear essentials, better content creation and better approaches to editing.

PC 344 - Exploring New Ground for Birds and Bucks with Adam Seward.

In this podcast I sit down with an Iowa farmer who I recently visited while looking for new spots to hunt with LandTrust. After driving around with him and listening to his story I wanted to do a podcast from a landowners perspective who is offering daily hunts through Land Trust which is like the “AirBnb” for hunting/recreation land. I get asked often about “how and where“ I hunt and LandTrust has opened the door for DIY private land hunting opportunities. This is an amazing new tool that new hunters and veteran hunters can use to find new spots in new areas.

PC 343 - Introducing the T2 Mechanical Broadhead from G5!

In this podcast I sit down and discuss the new T2 head that I know is about to make serious waves in the bowhunting industry. This is a wicked new mechanical that has shown me some insane results. I sit down with Nate Grace, Brian Andersen and Jeff Helm to discuss the concept to creation and where we stand after a final hunt using production heads. We dive into the what’s, the why’s and the where’s to this new broadhead that proves consistency is found in simplicity! 

PC 342 - It’s TAC TIME with Sean Degrey

The Podcast is back as we kick off “TAC” season. I sit down with Sean Degrey and talk with him about this years plans for TAC, ALL NEW VENUES that are not announced yet and what you all should expect on the ranges this year. 

PC 341 - Talking Arrow Trauma with Dr Peter Attia

This podcast is with Dr Peter Attia who is a physician known for his expertise in researching life extension and enhancing people's overall health. Dr Attia is a passionate archer and bow hunter who is super fascinating about his attention to details when he has a successful hunt. He talks about vitals, fatality and what it takes for a clean ethical arrow to an animal. I hope you enjoy!

PC 340 - Projectile Proficiency with an Industry veteran Joel Maxfield

This podcast is one that I personally was really hoping for. I was lucky enough to get Joel Maxfield on for his first podcast. Full disclosure, Joel is one of my personal mentors in bowhunting. He began working for MATT McPherson as a youngster with McPherson archery and then became the first employee of Mathew’s and ultimately my boss there during my time. Much of my base in archery came from watching Joel and Matt in the bow labs and experimenting with the founding teams there. Joel has a hunting resume that is far to long to write. I’ve never met someone more serious and dedicated to bowhunting and archery than Joel. He loves the industry, loves the dealers and loves professional archery. He has a Grand Slam in archery and the Super Slam in archery. He shoots a compound and traditional gear. His wife Janice is an extremely successful short draw low poundage archer also having success on most species around the globe. His experience and curiosity goes deeper than anyone I know of when it comes to real life application of arrows and animals. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

PC 339 - Finding Common Ground in Arrow Curiosity with Troy Fowler

This podcast is with Troy Fowler who many people claim is behind the charge in heavy arrow/FOC & penetration debates. After my recent arrow series “truth about arrows” Troy reached out to discuss some of these topics with me. Although many in the industry have found certain subjects or comments from Troy to be abrasive, I told him I would certainly like to talk more on the topics. I also wanted to understand his background because in the end, all I want is for archers to maximize their abilities and some of the “extremes” just don’t translate to accuracy and tuning.   Going into this podcast I didn’t know much about Troy’s background and wanted first hand information from him about some of the arrow opinions he has. We navigated our first long conversation together while he told me his side of curiosity and I explained my theories based on my experiences on the range and in the field. Although some of Troy’s post and comments within the archery community isn’t from the high ground I think he could choose to take, it becomes clear it’s part of what makes him who he is. Troy has made a few comments to me about the appreciation he has for some of the information I have shared and will lead him down some new paths. I like where we left off and hope I can be of help more if asked but also want to do what’s is possible to make sure the industry moves forward, TOGETHER for the betterment of all those who choose life with a bow.
