First Generation Bowhunter

In this episode I answer a question from a listener and good friend of mine, Taylor, who asks about what type of bow to start out with. I share my journey of what products I've tried over the years. It's been an evolution for sure and have learned a lot over the years on what brands and gear work best for me. I hope this episode provides some value to you as you think about what direction you want to take. 

My approach may not work for you, best advice I have is to ask a lot of questions, talk to your local bow shop, and test out different options.

When you're in literally thousands of dollars, you've burned PTO to be in the field, and you don't see animals - you will need to lean on your purpose to get you through those discouraging times. In this episode I share my three reasons why I bowhunt:

1. Self-reliance

2. Return to our primitive nature

3. Providing organic meat for the family

After many years of mixed success and frustration, I finally got an opportunity to get a shot at an animal. My nerves got the best of me though and I completely missed my target. I was crushed. As I reflected on what happened I realized my breathing was all over the place, my heart rate spiked, I got way too excited, and forgot all my routine of shooting an arrow. 

I was pissed at myself. 

I turned to yoga to get myself together and it opened up this whole new world for me. Listen in to help find ways to calm your nerves when the time comes, I promise you, it pays off.
