On this episode of the Bowyer Podcast, Matthew sits down with traditional bowhunting legend Randy Cooling. From the frozen North in pursuit of polar bears to remote corners of the globe chasing wild game, Randy shares stories from a lifetime spent bowhunting at the edges of the map. They dive into his acquisition of Safari Tuff, the trusted gear company built for hardcore traditional archers, and how he's continued to innovate while staying true to the roots of the craft. Be sure to look out for Randy at the Safari Tuff booth at the 2026 ETAR event! 

I am also stoked to announce that Safari Tuff has joined thd Bowyer Podcast as a leading partner. Big gratitude to Randy for the collaboration and new friendship.
