I really enjoyed talking to this young lady. As a high level competition 3-D archer, the challenge of traditional archery caught Bailey's eye. While audio issues cut us short I enjoyed hearing what drove her interest, the support she had, the naysayers, and how she has become proficient in a short period of time. Lets not beat the new crowd over the head with our preconceived notions.

All the preparation and anticipation that leads up to our time in the field cannot prepare us for the disappointment when things go wrong. However it still makes a memory and in this episode we have a good time recounting those epic failures. I mean who ever recounts a story when it all comes together, results in a notched tag and yet you can laugh hysterically. South Cox ; Stalker Stickbows Aron Snyder;

We love introducing the listeners to characters that we know but you would likely never hear of them except for this type of media. Rich is a guy that has been bending a single string for several decades and putting meat on the table. The bowhunting scene in Montana in the 70's and 80's included a whole host of characters and Rich was in the thick of it. Also you will notice a tip on arrow speed from our friend Jared @ Toelke Traditional Bows mid.

Hunting season prep looks different at 50 than it looked at 30. We catch up with fitness coach and nutritionist, Kenny Markwardt. We ask Kenny to walk us through what it might look for the average middle-aged Joe getting started. No this is not our MO but if helps to motivate a few guys to look at what they eat and do a little preseason sweating then I am ok with that.
