Nock On Archery

Connor Brockhouse is one of the familiar faces at all TAC events. He is a full-time employee and one of the team members building ranges and bettering our experiences at TAC. He is a young archer who is super successful on DIY hunts. I have really liked his personality and mindset for archery and bowhunting, so I wanted to sit down and learn more about his background. This podcast is filled with lots of old stories and shenanigans that relate to how archery and hunting have got us on a better path in life. I discuss my disappointments in childhood decisions and how archery got me going in the right direction. He gives stories on where hunting started for him and his brother and how it led him to getting a red staff shirt working for Total Archery Challenge.

This podcast is with On Point Adventure Foods founder Justin Aust. This is a product I tried over a year ago while eating on the road. Their products are on a new level and have really improved my performance when I'm traveling on the archery tours or on backcountry adventures. Justin and his wife are bringing amazing meals to outdoor enthusiasts with custom meals and a new approach to food on the go. These folks aren't sponsors, and I have no connection with them other than purchasing their products at an event and totally getting hooked on them. Justin gives me a deep dive into what makes mobile meals different and what makes them stand out.

On podcast 366, we had an incredible conversation with longtime archery expert Chuck Cooley. The response to that first podcast was so amazing that I wanted to sit down again with Chuck to go even deeper into what we can do for better clarity with archery eyesight. Chuck opens my eyes to a new approach to peep sight sizing and front hunting sight sizing. This is a must-listen for any archer because, at some point, you will need this information just like I have.

In this podcast I go behind secret walls of Leupold HQ to get all the info on the newest rangefinder that solves a big problem with archery- (Hitting the mark at any elevation with the same sight tape!). I thoroughly enjoyed this talk because I get to ask the important questions to leupold VP Tim Lesser and Product Specialist Eric Overstreet who I have nicknamed "the range man". Tim has climbed the ranks from customer service specialists to a VP roll with vast product knowledge. He knows every detail of the product line past and present. Eric has the highest understanding of electronics and lasers and algorithms of anyone I know. Together these two can answer anything I throw at them. We dive deeper into understanding new technologies but also how to properly use existing technologies as well. Leupold opened the curtain to the nock on nation for this deep dive into why their products and ecosystem stand out. Trust me, they do!

We sat in the sun on a bluebird day to talk about the past present and future!

This podcast is with Bryce Pick & Cabe Johnson from Spot Hogg Archery.

The new housing allows for interchangeable pins from single to double and gives you the option to change the angle for a single pin. Most importantly the new ROTI also allows the use of the PRIZ distance lens and magnifying lenses as well. This is a great podcast deepening your knowledge on sights and a company who redefined durability in archery sights.

DROWN PROOF with Andy Stumpf - This podcast is with one of my best buddies and master of shenanigans Andy Stumpf. Today his new book DROWN PROOF comes out.
