Nock On Archery

On this podcast I talk with my good buddy Mike Slinkard who is an industry veteran and amazing hunter. I like to have a conversation each season with Mike prior to Spring hunting. He’s a wealth of knowledge and we talk about his recent hunt for a massive Costal Brown Bear that he shot under 20 yards and then we dive into some great information. I pick his brain about common mistakes hunters make for both Mule Deer and Elk!

I have had many people behind the lens for me over the years and no one has been with me more than Caleb Copeland. He has been in the industry for a long time bringing forth videos and images that tell great stories. Caleb and I sit down and discuss the past, present and future of our content creation.

Andrew Ehard is a diehard, passionate midwestern bowhunter and member of the Nock On Nation, but there's also another side to him. I say he leads a double life since at one moment of the day he can be in the courtroom as a highly respected attorney then two hours later in the woods chasing critters and flinging arrows. He's served in the military and returned home making his way through law school all while working up through the ranks of being a better bowhunter. He's one of those guys when you meet him at a TAC event or in a hunting camp you would never guess what he does on his day to day at the office.

A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Leif served thirteen years in the Navy, including nine in the SEAL Teams. As a SEAL platoon commander in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, he planned and led major combat operations in the Battle of Ramadi that helped the “Ready First” Brigade of the US Army’s 1st Armored Division achieve victory. Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War. After some private coaching we sit down and talk more about what bowhunting and archery means to him.
