Average Jack Archery

If you do nothing else today, at the very least listen to the first 10 minutes of this episode! We sit down with the owner, "Kaz", of Buck Rub Archery in Wisconsin. I filmed some of their products at ATA 2020. Kaz has some AMAZING insights into the world of archery both old and new. Was a pleasure to sit down with him and "learn some new tricks from an old dog"!

Today, we hit up the Keystone State as we talk to Andrew Downs! We talk an older bow setup, getting our young kids into the outdoors, and touch on some "intricate" PA hunting laws and regulations. I know I enjoyed the conversation and I hope you do too!

On today's episode, we turn northward to "the Mitten" to talk with Nick Otto; owner and operator of "The Huntavore" podcast and YouTube channel. We cover a lot of topics from using a more "budget minded" compound setup, shooting a longbow, heavy arrows, and definitely venison breakdown and Nick's top recipe choice.

Today we get to chat with Shawn Teed: MMA Heavyweight champ and avid bowhunter from New Jersey! Shawn offers some great perspectives on what archery means to him, starting into archery, and what keeps him coming back season after season. Want to see some of his content? Check him out on Instagram @teedmma ! 

The AJA Podcast takes a turn to the Hoosier State (sorry, Purdue) and talks OTC Elk, saddle hunting, and much more with John Heikamp in Episode 2! Unfortunately, we did experience some less-than-awesome audio due to connectivity issues in the middle of the show, but bear with us as it does iron itself out! John brings a great perspective into the world of starting to saddle hunt, buying used bows, and also going with a heavier arrow setup to chase some elk.

There are A LOT of things folks don't understand about the archery industry and how bow shops work in the modern world. Today, I want to hopefully bring some of those things to light, and hopefully you'll have a better understanding of why your shop can be "good" or "bad".
