This week, Mike is joined by archery guru, engineer, and total super-nerd, Ryan Garner (@rgarner92). If you’ve ever wanted to know how the precision and tinkering of long-range rifle shooting translates directly into archery, this is the episode for you.

Ryan drops an absolute masterclass on bow tuning, explaining why he prefers a 35-inch axle-to-axle setup, the mechanics of D-loop tuning for a steadier hold, and exactly what it takes to get your mechanicals and fixed blades hitting perfectly with your field points at distance. They also dive into the mindset of hunting, ethical shot distances, and Ryan recounts an unbelievable spot-and-stalk archery hunt in South Africa—including taking down a Steenbuck from the African "Tiny 10."

Whether you’re a diehard bowhunter or a precision rifle shooter thinking about picking up a compound, this conversation is packed with deep-level insights to help you crush your next hunt.
