On this week’s episode of The Game Trail podcast, I tackle the topic of buying and setting up a new bow sight. I discuss what I like in a sight, the number of pins, pin sizes, and if you should buy a slider sight. I also talk about peep sight sizes and alignment. I work through the process of setting up a slider sight and weigh in on which option might be the best for hunting situations out west. Finally, I wrap up with a review of four of the top-selling sights on the market. Whether you are buying a new sight or working to dial in the the sight you already have for the upcoming year, this is a good episode with several tips and ideas to consider.

On this episode of The Game Trail, I sit down and spend time talking with GOHUNT’s Brady Miller. I’ve known Brady for a number of year’s but we rarely get a chance to have a long conversation. I ask him some random questions to get to know him better and a bunch of hunting related questions to discover more about how he approaches adventure hunting. Topics include, what’s more important physical or mental preparation, what food he craves on a long hunt, why did Brady stop bowhunting, and much more!
