In this episode of The Western Rookie Podcast, Brian is joined once again by Jeff Stringer and Alex Mader from Vantage Point Archery for a deep dive into broadheads and bowhunting setups! The trio gets into the weeds on fixed vs. mechanical broadheads, selecting the right head for elk and whitetail, how to gain confidence in your equipment, and some exciting new VPA product launches. Whether you're gearing up for your first archery hunt or refining your setup for the upcoming season, this episode is packed with valuable insight, technical knowledge, and real-world hunting stories that will help you make better decisions in the field.

Key Topics Covered:

• The thought process behind choosing a broadhead: 2-blade, 3-blade, single bevel, bleeders, and more
• Real talk about shot placement, blood trails, and the ethical kill
• VPA’s unique customer-first approach, including custom broadhead sample packs and lifetime warranties
• The rise of U.S.-made archery products and VPA’s new “50 Forge” initiative
• New product sneak peeks: Omega heads with bleeders and an all-in-one insert/outsert/collar system
