In this episode of The Game Trail Podcast, Trail sits down with Kolby Hanley of Ultraview Archery to dive deep into shot process and execution. Kolby breaks down how great archers think about process over outcome and how to build a repeatable shot you can trust. The conversation also covers the release of Ultraview’s new Button 2, why it was redesigned, and how subtle changes in feel and feedback can impact shot consistency. Whether you’re shooting leagues, tournaments, or preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt, this episode is all about simplifying your shot, committing to the process, and executing when it counts.

Today’s episode is a special one. I’m sitting down with the man who first put a rifle in my hands, taught me patience in the field, discipline at the reloading bench, and—most importantly—what it truly means to respect the animal, the hunt, and the process. My dad, Steve Miller, is the reason I fell in love with hunting in the first place.

We talk about where it all began for him, the hunts that shaped who he is, the lessons learned the hard way, and the one hunt that still stands above the rest after all these years.

This episode is about time spent in the outdoors, traditions passed down, and the kind of knowledge that can only come from a lifetime of experience. And there’s no one I’d rather share that story with than my dad.

Mule deer hunting isn’t supposed to be easy—and most of the time, it isn’t even fun. In this first episode of the Miller Tines podcast, Brady Miller breaks down the mindset and mental toughness it takes to hunt mule deer (or really any animal for that matter). From endless hours behind the glass to failed stalks, empty basins, and physical exhaustion, mule deer hunting has a way of testing patience, discipline, and mental toughness more than any other western hunt. This episode isn’t about tactics or shortcuts. It’s an honest conversation about learning to enjoy the process, embracing boredom, staying disciplined when the hunt gives you nothing back, and why mental toughness matters more than gear, tags, or talent.
