Welcome back to the Outdoor Podcast by BowHunterPlanet! We're recording LIVE from Michigan hunt camp, and things haven't exactly gone according to plan!

Dave and the crew are sharing some real-world bowhunting stories, including TWO missed opportunities at deer, frustrating encounters with alert whitetails, and what happens when everything goes wrong at full draw.

But it's not all bad news!

We're also talking about how affordable electric bikes (e-bikes) are changing the way we hunt. From quieter access to hunting locations to hauling gear into the woods, these bikes might be one of the best investments for deer hunters.

**IN THIS EPISODE:**

- Two missed deer and the lessons learned

- Hunting nervous, alert whitetails

- Why early-season bowhunting can be challenging

- Using affordable e-bikes to access hunting property

- E-bikes vs. walking into your hunting spot

- Michigan deer movement and trail camera activity

- Preparing hunting land and accessing stands

- Bow setup, sight-in issues, and shooting confidence

- Why you should never give up when deer blow at you

- Life at hunt camp and the stories that make it memorable

**What would YOU do?** Have you ever missed a deer because of nerves? And would you use a $300 e-bike to get to your hunting spot?

The Outdoor Podcast from BowHunterPlanet sits down with Matt from REK Broadheads for a deep dive into broadhead design, hunting performance, American manufacturing and what's coming next from REK.

We break down the current **REK XP, HXP and FX4 broadhead lineup** and talk about one of the biggest debates in bowhunting:

**FIXED BLADE vs MECHANICAL BROADHEADS.**

Which one should you shoot?

The answer isn't always as simple as people make it sound.

We discuss broadhead flight, crossbow performance, cutting diameter, penetration, arrow setups, 100-grain vs. 125-grain heads and choosing a broadhead based on your particular hunting situation.

REK's XP is a mechanical with a cutting diameter just under 2 inches, while the larger HXP features a massive **2¼-inch cut**. The FX4 gives hunters a fixed-blade option.

REK also redesigned its mechanical broadheads with a simplified **clipless blade-retention system**. There are no springs, collars or bands, and the blades can be reset by hand.

We also get into how REK builds its broadheads.

The current lineup uses **7075 aluminum ferrules**, hardened stainless-steel chisel tips and heavy-duty blades. REK's goal has been to build a mechanical broadhead capable of standing up to bone and hard impacts while also being rebuildable instead of disposable.

And REK is doing it right here in Michigan.

Matt talks about REK's commitment to American manufacturing, with the heads machined in Northern Michigan and assembled in-house.

We also dive into the business side of the hunting industry:

• Growing REK Broadheads

• Selling through archery dealers

• Online vs. retail sales

• Seasonal broadhead production

• Inventory challenges

• Working with major retailers

• Protecting a premium hunting brand

• Growing an American-made company

And then Matt drops an interesting teaser.

**REK has a NEW broadhead being developed for 2027.**

They've already been testing the new model out West — and Matt says they've already taken two deer with it.

He can't reveal everything yet...

But something new is definitely coming.

And of course we couldn't have REK Broadheads on without talking about one of our favorite BowHunterPlanet traditions:

🎃 **PUMPKIN KILLING SEASON!**

Expect to see REK broadheads destroying some pumpkins very soon.

What really makes an arrow accurate? In this episode of the Outdoor Podcast, we sit down with Chris from Feradyne Outdoors to talk about the technology, testing, and history behind some of the biggest names in archery.

We dive deep into the Carbon Express Mach 5, including its lightweight 5mm design, single-spine construction, durability, and how arrow stiffness affects consistency and accuracy.

We also tackle a common problem for bowhunters: the outlier arrow. Chris explains how squaring the back of an arrow, checking components, spinning arrows, tuning nocks, and maintaining consistent spine can help diagnose inconsistent arrow flight.

Then we get into Nocturnal lighted nocks, why manufacturing and material selection matter, and the potential risks of using questionable or counterfeit archery components.

The conversation also takes a fascinating turn into the history of Muzzy, the development of the original broadheads, Carbon Express technology, Block Targets, and the people and ideas that helped shape modern archery.

Trophy Ridge has a lot of new archery gear hitting the market, and in this episode of the Outdoor Podcast from BowHunterPlanet, Dave Thomas and Tim sit down with Ted from Trophy Ridge for a detailed look at the latest bowhunting accessories.

Bear Archery’s 2027 bow lineup is HERE — and some of the pricing may surprise you.

In this special episode of the Outdoor Podcast, Tim and Dave sit down with Ryan Shutts from Bear Archery for our annual deep dive into everything new from Bear.

Ryan takes us through the new 2027 Bear Archery lineup, including the brand-new Bear Source flagship bow, the Whitetail NXT, Warrant, new Paramount and Paramount Pro target bows, updates to the Paradigm Pro, and much more.

One of the biggest stories this year is PRICE.

The new Bear Source flagship comes in at $999.99, while still bringing many of Bear’s higher-end features, including the EKO2 cam system, QPC tuning system, multiple stabilizer mounting locations, integrated accessory mounting, vibration dampening and adjustable let-off.

Ryan also explains why Bear is putting such a major emphasis on value, adjustability, shootability and accessibility, continuing what he describes as the “Fred Bear way” of making archery available to more people.

We cover:

The 2027 Bear Source flagship

Why Bear priced its flagship at $999.99

340 FPS, 32" axle-to-axle and EKO2 cam technology

Bear’s Quad Pocket Control tuning system

The new Whitetail NXT

Warrant Ready-to-Hunt bow

Paramount & Paramount Pro target bows

Bear’s return to the competitive/target archery market

Paradigm Pro updates

Ready-to-Hunt and RTH Plus packages

Bow-only vs complete package pricing

New risers, pockets, stabilizer mounting options and vibration control

Bear Archery color and camouflage options

Why Bear continues focusing heavily on bow value

The Whitetail NXT alone offers multiple configurations, including bow-only, Ready-to-Hunt and RTH Plus packages, with pricing discussed in the episode from $729 up to $969 depending on configuration.

Bear also makes a major return to the target world with the Paramount and Paramount Pro, including a 35" axle-to-axle platform and pricing designed to make target archery more approachable.

Whether you already shoot Bear Archery or you're shopping for a new hunting bow for 2027, this episode gives you one of the most detailed looks at what Bear has coming.

Chris James from Feradyne is back on the Outdoor Podcast, and there is a LOT to talk about!

We dive deep into the new **Rage Tyrant**, including its 2-inch cutting diameter, construction, sharpness, arrow flight, and real-world performance on black bear and elk.

Chris also gives us a look at what's coming from **Muzzy**, including the upcoming ultra-tough hybrid broadhead, the new **Muzzy Slash**, and the future of the legendary Muzzy One.

Then we jump into the bowfishing world and talk about the new **Muzzy Akula** tip, including its use on big fish, sharks, alligators and tournament bowfishing.

We also talk bear hunting, the new **XOP Rhino platform**, the **Block Targets Backyard Range Target**, AX crossbow development, and what hunters can expect from Feradyne heading into the upcoming season.

This is one of those episodes packed with new products, hunting stories and behind-the-scenes information you won't want to miss.

From nearly two decades of military service to building a successful hunting YouTube channel, Clifton Denney’s journey is all about passion, authenticity, and sharing the outdoors.

Clifton started bowhunting about 10 years ago and has harvested **32 Pope & Young bucks**, primarily on public land. A Christmas gift from his wife—a Tactacam—sparked his content-creation journey, and just 28 days later, his channel was monetized.

What makes Clifton stand out is his commitment to honest, unscripted reviews. He doesn’t let companies dictate what he says, allowing him to give hunters his real-world opinions on the gear he uses.

In this episode, Clifton talks about his hunting journey, YouTube, working with **XOP**, and how his field experience has helped influence hunting gear and stand design. He also shares insight into the demand for XOP’s newest stands and what hunters should know when new products drop.

**Real hunting. Real gear. Real opinions.**

Watch the full episode and hear Clifton’s story.

The Outdoor Podcast is BACK for the fall season!

Dave, Thomas and Tim kick off the new season by looking back at an incredible summer — including an unforgettable Alaskan cruise, massive salmon runs, whales, grizzly bears, bald eagles, Vancouver, Skagway and Icy Strait.

Dave shares his Top 5 moments from the Alaska trip, with the incredible salmon run at Ketchikan taking the #1 spot. Seeing the river absolutely packed with salmon was an experience unlike anything he had seen before.

But we're also getting ready for what we love most — FALL and HUNTING SEASON!

We talk about everything happening around BowHunterPlanet, including our work with Spartan Cameras, XOP Outdoors and Rhino. We also head out to the hunting lease and put together the Rhino Universal Ground Blind Platform.

The Rhino platform gives a ground blind hunter approximately 7 feet of elevation while still allowing you to use a portable pop-up blind. We talk about the construction, setup, portability and why getting a ground blind off the ground can be such a big advantage.

And with the 2026 bow season approaching, we're getting ready for a TON of new bow launches, hunting gear and industry coverage.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

• Dave's Alaska cruise adventure

• Massive Alaska salmon runs

• Humpback whales breaching

• Coastal brown bears and grizzly cubs

• Bald eagles everywhere

• Vancouver, Skagway & Icy Strait

• Dave's Top 5 Alaska moments

• Spartan Camera experiences

• XOP Outdoors

• Rhino ground blinds

• Rhino Universal Ground Blind Platform

• Setting up our hunting lease

• Getting ready for hunting season

• What's coming for the fall bow market

This is the season we look forward to all year — new bows, new hunting gear, new products and plenty of time in the woods.

Thanks for being part of the BowHunterPlanet Outdoor Podcast!
