Al Chapman is widely regarded as one of this generation’s great traditional bowhunters, but he is too humble to admit it. A true outdoorsman, man of faith, and southern gentleman, Al has spent a lifetime pursuing wild game, primarily across the southeastern United States, but also on exciting adventures in far-off places like Namibia. He is an active member of the Professional Bowhunters Society, Compton Traditional Bowhunters, and Georgia Traditional Bowhunters. Recently, Al achieved the impressive feat of completing Georgia’s Big 5 with primitive archery equipment. Even as he reaches his golden years, Mr. Chapman shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to embody the spirit and passion of traditional bowhunting.

In this episode, Matthew chats with Spencer Sutliff from Domain Outdoor LLC. The conversation kicks off with Matthew’s exciting new land acquisition and his vision to create a traditional bowhunting-only hunt club. Step one in the journey? Improving flora quality to support better wildlife nutrition and give hunters a greater chance of closing the distance to their quarry.

Spencer shares practical advice on establishing food plots that benefit both game animals and landowners. Whether you're a seasoned land manager or just getting started, planting a food plot with help from Domain Outdoor can greatly enhance habitat for whitetail deer and other game species. Their specialized seed blends—like Hot Chic, Comeback Kid, No BS, Overhaul, and Clutch Clover—make it easier to grow nutritious forage that works.

We’re proud to welcome Domain Outdoor as a show partner for 2025 and thank them for supporting our food plot efforts here at the Bowyer Podcast!

In this episode, Matthew sits down with Mr. William “Willie” Pekah (Peek-ah)—a Comanche elder, lifelong educator, traditional bowyer and fletcher, and all-around fascinating human. Willie has spent over 40 years working to sustain the cultural practices of the Comanche people, while also collaborating with other Native tribes to rejuvenate traditional lifeways.

His work has even taken him to Hollywood, consulting on books and films—including the hit TV series The Son, based on the novel by Philipp Meyer. Conversations like this are the reason we started this podcast: to honor the makers, preserve the traditions, and pass on the stories of those who keep the old ways alive.

Ray Fletcher is the man behind Riverbend Longbows. Ray grew up in New Mexico, but spent much of his adult life in Iowa with his wife, raising their children, and working as a tradesman for a couple of decades. In 2024, Ray and his wife made the bold decision to move to a former homestead in southern New Mexico. We all dream about, and perhaps romanticise a pivot to the simpler lifestyle….but lack the gumption to actually make the move. Well Ray is one of the few folks that took the leap and has since found peace and a newfound freedom while enjoying the Gila National Forest and beyond with his bride, now that their kiddos are grown. Ray is a skilled bowyer, and fabricates simple, yet elegant traditional bows. Take a peek at his work on Instagram and Youtube. Riverbend Longbows: Built with today’s technology, made with yesterday’s pride.
