Not all legends wear medals or chase podiums anymore.
Some lean on the counter at the pro shop.
Some drink bad coffee, tell better stories, and tune bows without being asked.
Some quietly make everyone else shoot better.
This episode is about one of those guys.
We sit down with Dan Gaston — a lifetime archer, a pro shop regular, a problem-solver, and a living piece of archery history. Dan’s been shooting his whole life, competed at a high level back in the day, and whether he’s chasing scores now or not, his impact on this sport is undeniable. If you’ve ever walked into a shop and felt instantly welcomed, helped, or challenged to be better — you’ve felt the influence of guys like Dan.
Archery isn’t built only by champions and trophies. It’s built by the people who show up, share knowledge, and keep the culture alive. This conversation is about legacy, glory days, and why the counter-leaners and daytime shop guys matter more than they’ll ever admit.
