Confidence is high you'll be hungry after this episode!

Mountain Primal Meat Co.

Our ranch did not start out with a desire to make money selling meat and provisions.  It wasn't even a dream when we purchased the land.  We had one thought:  "Let's build something out of this."  From that simple foundational idea we went from growing hay, to purchasing our first head of cattle, to finally developing the operation into a sustainable beef enterprise focused on quality and our animals' wellness.

We believe that we should continue our journey by not only pushing ourselves, but those we serve, towards personal greatness, whatever that looks like to the individual.  We serve our employees and work to help them grow, learn, and become leaders so they can raise their families and pursue their goals with enthusiasm earned from their accomplishments at our company.  We serve the organizations and people we sponsor by involving ourselves in their program in a way that ensures their continued success and growth while educating ourselves with lessons learned from their various pursuits. 

Finally, we serve our customers.  We want you to be inspired to blaze your own trail in life.  By eating the food we bring to market and wearing the clothes we design, we want you to feel connected to an overarching theme that is gaining traction here in the United States.  You may already feel it.  It's that desire to put down the soul-sucking electronic distractions in our lives, peer out into the world we live in, and make something out of our thoughts, grit, and know-how. 

You have but one chance to shape this world, shouldn't you leave your mark alongside your fellow modern pioneers?

We believe you should.

After years of testing multiple bows, Aron divulges the many factors that led to his ultimate favorite.  Cody Greenwood also joins the podcast to lend his technical expertise through his own research testing multiple bows.

Bow Tests:

​Traditional tackle is not readily available for Archers to pick up and test locally.  My goal is to provide Archers with unbiased quality information that helps them make a well educated choice and pick a bow that fits their needs. I have chosen metrics associated with Ergonomics, Performance and Sound to highlight the compromises within each Bowyer design.  I have worked hard  to make sure my testing results are accurate and repeatable. If you see a error or flaw feel free to contact me, I will correct it. 

My goal is to continuously improving myself as an Archer, the Archery Community and our Sport.  The Trad Community  at its core is made up of selfless people that help one another.  I hope this  effort maintains that spirit and adds value.   

God Bless,

Cody Greenwood

Hunting and fishing are forms of outdoor recreation as are hiking, rock climbing, biking, and 4-wheeling. Not everyone however, participates in outdoor recreation activities but those that do are often passionate about their involvement.

Bowhunters can probably be characterized as one of the more passionate groups of outdoor enthusiasts. We dearly love the outdoors and the wild things that reside within it. We are a diverse and extended family who regards bow hunting as a perfect union of man and the natural world. Our love for bow hunting and the scenes that accompany the privilege can only be understood by those that relish the environs as deeply as we do. We are literally drawn to nature…autumn arriving like a golden chariot piercing the pure air and azure sky on contrails of yesterday’s dreams and tomorrow’s promises. Our treks into the tall grasses and deep forest quench an ancient urge that others cannot apprehend. Yet, defeating our quarry isn't nearly as important as having had the opportunity to be among them… having had the opportunity to be part of something greater than ourselves.

There are those however, that totally disregard our passion for the outdoors and are financially motivated to take those freedoms from us. Organizations like HSUS, PETA, and others are determined to destroy hunting starting with archers…and will go to any means to accomplish their goals.

If you bowhunt in Colorado and are not currently a member of the CBA ... please consider joining today. We need your support to protect the privilege so many enjoy. Here are some other reasons to join:
