I’ve been impressed with Ravin and called them an innovator in crossbow technology. That was challenged by a long-time Friend of Bunjie in a recent YouTube comment, and a lengthy, well-thought out one at that! Genevieve and I review that comment and offer some “analysis” in this episode of Talking with Bunjie. It’s a great starting point for some good discussion while we’re out checking trail cameras.

This question came up recently in response to my video on BearX Crossbows and also when I talked about Ravin’s new 500fps crossbow: What would Fred Bear say about modern crossbows, or even modern archery? Remember, he started hunting with a traditional bow before compound bows were even invented! And although crossbows existed at the time, he was a traditional archer only throughout his life. What would he have chosen if he had a full plate of options like we do today? We can’t know for sure, but we can talk about it on this episode of Talking with Bunjie as we explore Fred Bear’s life and times, and help keep his legacy alive.

Wha? Listen to this podcast for the whole scoop.

I ran a poll on the YouTube channel about trail cameras. I really appreciate the feedback from Friends of Bunjie and the suggestions. I discuss the results here. It kinda leads in to the topic of choosing a new crossbow…

Pretty poor online reception (from what I’ve seen) for Excalibur’s new flagship model, the Twinstrike. Is social media a good indicator of whether this model will be “successful”?

Are aluminum arrows the key to helping Bunjie “moose” and remain relevant in 2021 and beyond? I ran some tests and discuss the findings in this podcast.

In a lot of ways, I’m happy to leave 2020 behind! But in some ways, it’s been a banner year that will shape the future of Death by Bunjie in a very positive way. Will Genevieve be part of the 2021 Death by Bunjie experience? Will there be a new Bunjie in the picture? What events in 2020 will affect those things? Listen and find out.

Happy Thanksgiving! Crossbow hunters around the world are wrapping up their 2020 Crossbow Seasons. Maybe you’re preparing for your Late Crossbow Seasons, or maybe your motivation is dwindling. How can you stay motivated to get out there again? What will make next year more attractive? Listen and find out, perhaps.

Decisions, decisions! This is a fun decision to make. I solicited input from Friends of Bunjie and I talk about that in this episode.
