Sidney Smith joins me on First Generation Bowhunter in episode 43 and shares his passion for hunting and bowhunting. He shares how he learned early on and what advice he shares with new bowhunters. I really appreciate how positive Sidney is, he brings forth so much goodness in his day to day life as well as the great work he does for DO UTAH an incredible organization dedicated to get Disabled Outdoorsmen out hunting and experiencing the outdoors.  Sidney also shares his experience with the Garmin Xero rangefinding sight. While this is a spendy piece of gear, it sounds like Garmin has done a nice job refining it over the years, maybe enough to get me back to using one. Maybe?
