Nock On Archery – Details, episodes & analysis

A podcast with an industry mogul Nick Mundt from Bone Collector. I first met Nick when he was hired as Bill Jordan’s camera guy over 20 years ago. We were both in Montana for monster bucks 10. Nick was so damn funny and such a great hunter and guide. It was a pleasure knowing him before having a name for himself. Over the years he has carved his name into bowhunting history with all the great content as one of the triple threat Bone Collectors. I wanted to catch up with Nick following a TAC event and talk about old times and talk about broadheads with someone who knows how to stack them up!

This podcast is with Hoyt President Zak Kurtzhals. We talk past, present and future of our friendship, competition trail and time in the industry. We recorded this hours before the announcement that I was returning home to Hoyt for my next chapter in archery. Zak has an amazing story starting at Hoyt as an accessories engineer and working up the ladder as lead engineer and then President. I felt like this would be a good listen for the nock nation to understand where we came from and why returning to friends and alliances is so important.

In this podcast I sit down with two grass roots fellas. We have recently finished filming a series for hunter’s education graduates that take advantage of some access to bettering their progression as new hunter. We also talk through some important things that all of us should put into practice. Nate is a great guy and has such a positive and holistic view on the outdoors. Quinn is an inspiring digital creator with an eye to details and a passion to capture great educational content. 

PC 256 is with Dennis Zuck from GW Gore, Jay Matthews formally of Nike and Thad Kaczmarek formally of Arc’Teryx who all came out to shoot bows for a few days and have some form check. All these guys bring great backgrounds to a good conversation. Unfortunately one large file from the start of this podcast was corrupted after Jay unplugged us.

PC 255 restarts the Podcast after a long season in the field. Dudley goes into discussion on starting over in the range and how to reboot your shooting technique and form. He also gets into some Q&A from the nock on nation about - Total Archery Challenge schedule for 2020, late season hunting, shooting from a seated position, best thing about Iowa, trusted bow shops, how long to practice before your first hunt and managing expectations on the range.

This podcast celebrates Pete Shepley who is the oldest living owner of a compound bow company. PSE Archery just celebrated 50 years and Pete tells stories of where the compound bow industry started and the different things he’s seen since sanding his first compound risers under a tree in his front yard close to where I shot my first archery tournament. Pete is a living legend and one of the few left to tell stories of the greats like Fred Bear, Tom Jennings and Earl Hoyt. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

PC 253 is a podcast dedicated to my thought process for the peak whitetail season success. As we near the pre-rut here in the Midwest I talk you through my philosophies on the whats, wheres and why’s!
