We both stress the importance of finding gear that fits well and builds confidence out in the field. But it’s not just about the gear.

Today I'm joined by Johnathan Moreland from Arkansas. Johnathan is a die hard traditional bowhunter who has put some hammers on his wall...from public, to permission pieces, to private, he is a woodsman thru and thru. His quest for a stick-bow state record was something of a once in a life-time experience (and maybe took years off his life)...the proof is in the video! And what sealed that deers fate, was observing him go back to his bed. Then, to up the stakes the following year, he kills a hammer with a self bow (that he made himself...naturally). I hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening!
