Bucks Of America Podcast

In the latest episode, we dive into the world of the Mountain Archery Fest (MAF) through the stories and experiences of its crew members. These are not just your typical archery enthusiasts—they are passionate, resilient, and deeply committed to the art and challenge of setting up some of the most grueling 3D archery courses across the country. The podcast begins by recounting how the crew members first became involved with MAF. Some were drawn in by a simple love of archery, while others joined through more personal connections, like Garrett, who was initially motivated by his relationship with Brandon Waddell's daughter. Over time, these personal stories blend into a shared mission of creating unforgettable archery experiences for participants. The crew discusses the intricacies and challenges of setting up courses in different terrains, from the mountains of Colorado to the forests of the East Coast. They share tales of battling the elements, from snowstorms to tick-infested woods, all in the name of delivering top-tier archery courses. The work is physically demanding, and the team often finds themselves in remote areas with limited help. Despite these hardships, their dedication shines through, whether it's tweaking course setups based on participant feedback or working late into the night to ensure everything is perfect for the next day's event. The podcast also touches on the camaraderie that forms among the crew. They recount humorous and tense moments alike—whether it’s being spooked by a wolf in the wilderness or dealing with the wear and tear on their vehicles from the rough terrain. This shared experience of overcoming obstacles together has forged a tight-knit group that approaches each new challenge with a mix of humor, grit, and a deep love for what they do. The conversation then shifts to the broader impact of their work, with the crew reflecting on the joy they see in participants, especially when they hear that the MAF courses are some of the best they've ever shot. This feedback is not just rewarding—it fuels their passion and commitment to continue pushing the boundaries of what they can achieve.

In this episode, we dive into the heart of HHA USA's Mission 2024, an initiative driven by passion and a deep commitment to supporting veterans through the sport of archery. Hosted by Jeff Vance, the conversation unfolds with Chris Hamm, the visionary behind HHA USA, and Seth Baranowski, an avid archer with a unique perspective on the sport's impact.

Chris Hamm shares the origins of HHA USA, emphasizing the organization's unwavering dedication to serving those who have served. Seth Baranowski, while not a veteran himself, offers insightful reflections on how archery has the power to build community and foster mental well-being. The discussion is rich with stories of resilience, the importance of mental health, and the unifying power of the bow.

As we navigate the goals and challenges of Mission 2024, the conversation delves into the deeper significance of creating a community that stands together—both in the field and in life. From the technical aspects of archery to the emotional connections it fosters, this episode is a testament to the enduring spirit of our veterans and the incredible work being done to support them.

Whether you're an archer, a veteran, or someone who values the strength of community, this episode offers something meaningful for everyone. It’s not just about hitting targets; it’s about making a difference.

"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." - Proverbs 27:17 (ESV)

This verse underscores the idea of community and mutual support, which aligns well with the themes of resilience, camaraderie, and the positive impact of archery on veterans and participants alike in your podcast episode.

In the realm of outdoor adventure and community spirit, Brad Rothermel's charity work stands as a testament to resilience and giving back. Drawing from his own experiences with health challenges, Brad has found solace and purpose in the outdoors, particularly through archery. After suffering a stroke and multiple brain hemorrhages, Brad's journey to recovery was bolstered by the supportive community of archers, led by his friend Chris.

The power of archery in Brad's life is more than just hitting targets; it's about reconnecting with a supportive community and inspiring others to do the same. Whether it’s veterans grappling with post-service challenges or kids battling cancer, Brad’s mission is clear: to get people outdoors, enjoying activities that foster mental and physical well-being.

Brad’s involvement spans numerous organizations, including HHA USA and Heroes for Vets. His latest endeavor involves organizing shopping sprees for struggling veterans, helping them gear up for outdoor adventures. Collaborations with stores like Scheels and Fleet Farm make this possible, providing veterans with much-needed equipment.

Brad's story is a powerful reminder of how the outdoors can heal and connect us. Through archery and charity, he’s not only found his own path to recovery but also paved the way for others to discover the therapeutic power of nature.

Brandon Waddell, the founder of Mountain Archery Fest (MAF), embodies the spirit of resilience and determination. His journey is a testament to the power of hard work, self-discipline, and a deep-seated passion for archery. Through MAF, Brandon has created a unique platform that not only celebrates the sport but also fosters a sense of community among participants.

Brandon's story is one of perseverance. Training rigorously throughout the winter, he has consistently placed in the top ranks of competitions, despite facing challengers 20 years his junior. His dedication to physical fitness and mental well-being is evident in his commitment to maintaining a rigorous workout regime, even amid a demanding job and personal commitments. This focus on fitness is not just about competition; it's a crucial element of his overall approach to life.

MAF has grown under Brandon's leadership, hosting events across the country and gaining recognition as a significant player in the 3D archery community. The festivals are not just about shooting arrows; they offer a space for veterans to share their stories and find solace, reflecting Brandon's commitment to mental health and emotional support. His approach emphasizes the importance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, demonstrating a holistic view of well-being.

Brandon's vision for MAF extends beyond the sport, aiming to build a supportive and inclusive community. By partnering with organizations like the Boys and Girls Club and hosting events that welcome everyone, he is making archery accessible and enjoyable for a broader audience. His story is a powerful reminder that with passion and perseverance, we can create meaningful change in our communities and lives.

Utah often gets overlooked by non-resident elk hunters due to its limited entry units. However, for a more accessible elk hunting experience, Spiker Chow offers a viable option. Hunting in Utah presents a unique and thrilling experience, even for newcomers. Josh shares his story of taking his friend Jaden elk hunting for the first time, where Jaden encountered elk at remarkably close distances. These intense moments teach the crucial lesson of understanding wind and thermals, as elk are highly sensitive to scent. The narrative emphasizes that while knowledge from articles and podcasts is useful, real learning happens in the field. Hunting is not just about the kill but the journey and the lessons learned along the way. It highlights the importance of preparation, patience, and respecting the natural instincts of the prey. For Josh, seeing a mentee succeed in hunting is more rewarding than personal achievements. Additionally, Trey and Jeff discuss the mental health benefits of hunting, with Trey recounting how archery helped him overcome depression and find a new sense of purpose. Jeff shares his own transformative experiences, emphasizing the therapeutic power of hunting and the camaraderie it fosters.
