Mr. James  is a Georgia native, a family man, a Marine veteran, and a recreational bowyer like myself. James is part of Compton Traditional and the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia, and I admire the circle of traditional bowyers and archers that he has living so nearby. James is also an avid hunter and fisherman, and about the most prolific feral hog hunter that I’ve ever met.

Hit songwriter Andrew Scott Wills has been enamored with American history since he was a

boy. As a teenager he discovered Eckert's "The Frontiersman" and built his first CVA Kentucky

long rifle. Around the same time he bought a junk guitar for $20 and started songwriting.

Despite a successful career of songwriting on Nashville's Music Row, notching Billboard

charting singles and hundreds of recordings, Wills felt the frontier calling. Hawken Horse was

born. The music of Hawken Horse shines a lantern on the romance and ruggedness of

frontier history with inspiring lyrics that spark an inner yearning for discovery, independence, and

Survival.

Welcome to the Bowyer’s Podcast with host Matthew Morris, where we explore the ancient art of bow making, traditional archery, and the age-old pursuit of wild game. Together we’ll chat with masters of their craft to uncover the deeper “why” behind reviving the old ways in a modern world. During this organic, and perhaps entropic introduction Matthew discusses the origin of the Bowyer’s Podcast and provides insight on what to expect in the future. Get outside. Get dirty. Learn something new.
