He has spent over 43 years working direct with manufacturers, selling archery equipment and helping to grow archery and bowhunting across the globe.

He has had decades of boots on the ground both at shoots, in shops and at the factories. In this podcast, we take a trip down memory lane talking products, people and places. It was a real honor to podcast with Jay and I am excited to be connected with him again.

This podcast is with two awesome friends from Black Rifle Coffee Co., Logan Stark and Special Forces SGT Major Charlie “Tyr” Martel. We sit down after a ridiculously fun few days at the School of Nock and battling the frozen tundra of Iowa. These two guys picked up archery in the past year and are diving deeper and deeper by the day. We recap an amazing experience of building bows, learning proper shooting techniques while rolling some smoke on the Traeger Grill. Logan is the Editor in Chief for many of Black Rifles famous content videos. Tyr heads up charitable givebacks for BRCC and is an amazing guy and possibly related to an onion in that the more layers you peel off the better it gets. He is a library of awesome stories and we get him to share a few good ones. Both of these gentlemen have an amazing past in foreign lands and have found tremendous joy in archery and how it's the perfect Zen from the days on the battlefield. They voice their opinions on how archery and bowhunting is so therapeutic for Veterans.

In a recent R&D trip to Arizona, I sat down with Archery Legend and PSE founder Pete Shepley. Pete is flying high after a stellar 50th year as a company. However, he has so many more interesting adventures to talk about in addition to archery. In this podcast I get Pete to open up about his friendships with some of the prestigous Russian aviators and astronauts and also his years flying competition stunt plains.

PC 291 - Large and In Charge with SG

Podcast 291 is with an awesome buddy of mine codename SG-which i think stands for shredded guns (i made that up). He is fairly new to archery but a Veteran on the battle field and recently retired from the Teams searching for the similarities in his former military career and bowhunting. He recently flew out to HQ and got set up with a new bow and a few days of lessons. For this podcast we wanted to do a follow up about how he is doing after a few weeks of applying the new training back home. We start out with some friendly heckling but then go into deeper details about the parallels of archery, firearms, bowhunting prep and spec ops training protocols. We talk though technique and get his takeaways from our time training together. We cover topics specific to efficiency in archery, grip pressures, getting faster by slowing down, perishable skill sets, goal setting and more. 

PC 290 - Shredding the Silverback with Josh Hall & Torquila Torie

Podcast 290 is with Pro Board Shaper Josh Hall and his wife Torie. These two are a west coast couple specializing in surfing the waves and super clean eating. Josh started archery a few years ago and I met him at the Nock On Experience TAC event. He then became a Bowhunter, shot a great bull that fall and keeps pushing. Torie is an author of The Mexican Keto Cookbook, which is awesome and also specializes as a nutritionist. She has recently dove deeper into archery and bowhunting as this couple continues to know where their food comes from. They both came to the School Of Nock for a weekend of lessons, instructions and good eating. 

PC 289 - Nock N Roll with Mark Schenker

Podcast 289 is with Rock N Roller Mark Schenker from the band KIX. Mark decided to embark on an archery journey and came to the Nock On HQ to learn how to shoot a bow. Mark has a amazing background in music/ song writing but is also a professional photographer, seasoned Jiu Jitsu blue belt, master diver and has a growing passion for field to plate. We talk about what he’s learned so far with archery in the first day of training but mainly go down memory lane of life in the 80s with Rock N Roll, Metal and everything in between. This was such an exciting few days for me because the 80s bands were such a huge influence in my life.
