Today’s show dives into everything that could go wrong for bow season as bow season is opening. Jacob starts off by telling a range story of shooting his bow this past weekend. You guys won’t believe what he did with his bow at the range! Listen in to see exactly what he did and what you definitely want to avoid doing yourself. Brayden then goes into a bow fiasco of his own. After having his bow almost dialed in, an arrow rest change reset him to day 1 on the range. Dial into this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear all the bow woes we’ve faced so far.

Next up Arica speaks on her recent interesting weekend and raves about Fit to Hunt’s bow strength program. Having some issues recently getting her bow back effectively she spent some time working out to help her bow strength. She’s seeing impressive results and has her bow dialed in with field points, now she’s working on broadhead accuracy. Hold on to your seats because we go off on a wild tangent about flat earth, warning systems, and if we’ll all be zombies by time this episode hits your ears.

Closing out Dan updates us on his Land Between the Lakes scouting trips for his upcoming hunt. He excitedly goes into details about checking his trail camera, you guys won’t believe what shows up on it! He checks out a new spot that looks super promising on an old logging road running atop a long ridge line. He has a perfect line of sight picked out and a hopeful way to keep other public hunters from coming into the area while he’s there. With good cell reception he’s already receiving photos that are promising. We also go over good practices for dragging out your deer this season safely. Make sure to keep hydrated, keep some calories in you, and take it nice and easy or better yet don’t forget the deer cart!

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan is joined by Buddy Piland of Ozonics to discuss the evolution of company and the usage of ozone by the hunting community. Controlled ozone has been used to kill bacteria in hospitals and other medical offices for a very long time. But it wasn't until Ozonics brought their first unit to the market in the 2000's as a way hunters could manipulate their scent profile while in the field. As the company grew, they found that it played a huge role in cleaning clothing from order and bacterial as well. This is a unique multi-function product that is backed by science. Enjoy and share!

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick tries to get to the bottom of a few cast iron myths that have been circulating around the internet.  Smooth vs rough finish, expensive vs cheap, and folks still think using soap is ok.  Kyle puts these myths to bed along with a ton of info about our favorite cookware.  So preheat that skillet, and let the facts cook on this episode of Huntavore.

Kyle Seip has been around cast iron and metals most of his life.  Now he finds and restores vintage cast pieces both as a hobby and side business.  Kyle talks briefly about his process in using electrolysis on gunked up pans, and how a simple oven clean feature can help you start over on a damaged seasoning.  He Al breaks into several questions about cast iron and how in the long run, cast iron is far superior to any new modern material. The whole conversation is a great informative piece on care and use of your current and future cast iron pieces.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking Smith & Wesson innovations through the years with Mike Helms and Vince Perreault. We dive right into it with Mike giving us a rundown of the .357 and .44 magnums that came from Smith & Wesson early on. We talk about the history of the .357, how it was created, and how every other cartridge today is still measured up to it, especially in the law enforcement world. Smith & Wesson get a lot of their inspiration from ammunition partners who approach them with a cool new round looking for a firearm to match it, with the 30 Super Carry being a recent example of this.

Next up Mike shows us a Smith & Wesson Model 39. After a failed attempt with the Model 1913, Smith & Wesson pivoted and came out the gate strong with the Model 39. The Model 39 was the first 9mm pistol built in America. The Model 39 was the single stack variant with Smith & Wesson quickly producing a double stack variant in the Model 59. Although never officially adopted, the Model 39 does have some military history in a suppressed version dubbed “The Hushpuppy.” With a suppressor and a slide lock, it completely took the innovation of a double stack semi auto away turning it into a single shot but it was almost one of the quietest handguns ever made. While not as popular in the collecting world as revolvers from Smith & Wesson, Model 39’s have slowly started to build a collectible following with prices rising on the market on GunBroker.com. Vince has noticed a trend in the “nostalgia bump” with many people requesting these style guns remanufactured in today’s market as new.

Closing out, we cover a really exciting topic for Smith & Wesson. After almost 160 years in Springfield, Massachusetts, Smith & Wesson has relocated to Maryville, TN. While an extremely tough decision, Smith & Wesson did their research to make sure the new location ticked all their boxes for just where exactly they wanted to be. With the grand opening party coming up this Saturday, October 7th, 2023, they sold out all their tickets in less than a day. Distribution, plastics, assembly, and front office are all moving to Maryville with some manufacturing processes remaining in Springfield, where there is generational talent at the revolver and 1911 level for Smith & Wesson. The maiden guns coming out of Maryville should start rolling off the line at the end of October. With over 600,000 square feet of state of the art space that is laid out for maximum efficiency, Smith & Wesson absolutely cannot wait to start their engines in their new space.

In this episode, Ricky has a chat with Vapor Trail Pro-staffer Ashley Covert and her husband Justin. Ashley is an adult onset hunter, introduced under the wing of her husband, and has proven herself as a passionate and successful provider for the family. Justin speaks of the days spent in the woods as a child walking alongside his father. It was there he learned the tricks of the trade that he and Ashley now pass down to their son. 

The Covert’s recently spent some time hunting the coveted Buffalo County, WI whitetail. Ashley was the recipient of Gearheads Pro-Staffer of the Year award, earning her family an invitation to the highly sought after opportunity. They break down the highs and lows of the hunt, and the excitement of hunting an area commonly seen on Justin’s favorite hunting shows of the past. 

As a family man and avid bowhunter, Ricky identifies the difficulties of ensuring balance. Ashley discusses their family dynamic and the things they do to foster a positive experience for everyone involved.
