Bryan Burkhardt is a lifelong traditional bowhunter and the current President of Compton Traditional Bowhunters. Born and raised in Michigan, Bryan grew up immersed in the hunting tradition, visiting Bear Archery headquarters as a child with his father. He had the rare opportunity to hear stories firsthand from legends like Fred Bear and, later, Glenn St. Charles. A passionate outdoorsman, Bryan has dedicated much of his life to mentoring young bowhunters and advocating for the future of traditional archery. In this episode, Bryan and Matthew explore the mission of Compton Traditional Bowhunters, discuss the upcoming Compton Rendezvous, and dive into the Dream Hunt Raffle and the Bowyer Podcast Youth Bear Hunt auction.
