August 20, 2025 Stripping Away the Unnecessary with Cody D'Acquisto
I've been following our guest, Cody D’Aquisto, and his father on YouTube and Instagram for several years, and I’m continually impressed by their relentless innovation in the hunting space. What stands out even more is Cody’s ability to juggle it all—running a successful business, hosting whitetail clinics, and raising a family. For that, I have a deep respect and admiration for the man. Cody is a highly accomplished bowhunter, a driven innovator, and the founder of Dying Breed Bowhunter. Through his traveling Whitetail Roadshow, Cody is helping hunters—new and experienced—elevate their mobile hunting game. His mission is simple: connect face-to-face and share what truly works in the field.

August 13, 2025 30 Years of Bow Building: Jim Neaves with Centaur Archery
Today’s guest is Jim Neaves — a master bowyer with more than three decades of experience under his belt, despite being just shy of 50. Jim began his journey crafting selfbows, but eventually found his true calling in building beautifully designed, lightning-fast laminated recurves and longbows. From his shop in Montana, he runs Centaur Archery — a small, self-owned company built on his lifelong passion for archery and a commitment to one-on-one consultation with every customer. His mission is simple: to create the best traditional bow possible, at the best price, for each unique bowhunter.

August 06, 2025 Bill Vanderheyden with Iron Will Outfitters
In this episode Matthew is joined by Bill Vanderheyden — accomplished bowhunter, engineer, innovator, and the driving force behind Iron Will Outfitters. If you've spent any time in the mountains with a stick and string, you've likely heard the name Iron Will — synonymous with rugged, high-performance hunting gear. From their precision broadheads to purpose-built knives, Iron Will is known for gear that flat-out performs.
In this episode, Bill walks us through the Iron Will origin story, broadhead design, materials, and what really makes Iron Will broadheads so darn lethal. Whether you're chasing elk on the high ridges or dialing in your setup for whitetails this fall, there’s a ton to learn here.

July 30, 2025 Charles Whitwam is Howling for Wildlife
This is a special episode of the Bowyer Podcast — one that goes beyond bows, broadheads, and backstraps. Charles Whitwam and I hope to shed light on a variety of pressing conservation issues… and dare I say it — the growing oppression of hunter rights.
Charles Whitwam, Founder and President of Howl for Wildlife — an organization that’s fighting to protect science-based wildlife management across North America. Our wildlife and fisheries are constantly under threat — not from hunters, but from policies driven by emotion, anthropomorphism, misinformation, and a rejection of science. If we don’t stand up, the very future of conservation — and our role in it — is at risk.
Howl for Wildlife gives us the tools to fight back. Their platform empowers everyday hunters and anglers to take direct action — efficiently and effectively. So if you’re tired of seeing decisions made with science (not emotion), and if you believe in real conservation — it’s time to join the pack.
Take action. Make an impact. This is Howl for Wildlife
Want some free hunting kit? We’ve got you covered. All you have to do is make a donation to How for Wildlife (www.howl.org) of $10 or more between 1-10 August 2025. What’s included in the giveaway? I’m glad you asked:
