About this listen

 This week we sit down with our buddy Mark Smith. Mark is a bow tech at Mark's Outdoors in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. We discuss some of Mark's craziest stories of working in a bow shop, and have a discussion about prepping your archery equipment for deer season. We dive into: Mark’s journey from martial arts & CrossFit gyms to becoming a trusted bow tech Wild shop stories — dry fires, broken bows, and hard-learned lessons Tips for keeping your bow “hunt ready” year-round Why your broadheads don't hit where your field points do How some people over-complicate bow tuning Why southeastern hunters don't need to shoot overly heavy arrow setups How faith and discipline shape his approach to hunting and life If you’ve ever had archery gear fail at the worst possible moment — or want to make sure it never does — this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom and plenty of laughs.
