In this episode of Before the Echo, I sit down with Matt Zernzach from The Push Archery to talk about the growing movement of traditional bowhunting and why more hunters are picking up a stickbow.

We dive into instinctive shooting, transitioning from compound bows to traditional archery, the mental side of shooting, and why traditional bowhunting forces you to become a better woodsman. Matt shares insights from years of teaching traditional archery and building one of the most respected educational platforms in the trad community.

If you've ever considered shooting a recurve or longbow, or you're already deep in the traditional archery world, this conversation is packed with insight.
