Buying and selling bows has always been a mess—used racks with slim pickings, eBay fees that eat your profit, and Facebook meetups that feel sketchy at best. Enter Bow Tackle, a brand-new platform built by archery shop owners and hunters for the people who live this stuff every day. Dan Ellyson from A1 Archery and Perry Bowers join the show to talk about how they’re reshaping the archery marketplace, why pro shops need a way to move used and close-out gear without getting crushed by fees, and how Bow Tackle is connecting everyday hunters to trusted dealers across the country.

This episode dives into the headaches every bowhunter has faced—what to do with your old flagship, how to score a deal without getting burned, and why keeping small archery shops alive matters for all of us. Whether you’re upgrading to the latest Matthews or looking for a solid starter rig, you’ll want to hear how Bow Tackle could change the game.

This is the episode everyone’s been waiting for — the official draw of the Mathews Lift X giveaway. What started as a goal to get 70 listeners turned into over 1,800 signups, 2,500 emails, and more than 53,000 total entries. Along the way came stories that hit harder than expected — dads who sold their bows to cover medical bills, hunters chasing a dream bow they’ve waited 20 years for, and families entering to give someone else a shot at something they couldn’t swing on their own.

In this episode, Brian pulls back the curtain on how the giveaway worked, the behind-the-scenes grind of sorting thousands of entries, and the moment we’ve all been waiting for — announcing the winner. He also looks ahead at what’s next: future giveaways, new digital tools, and even some limited-run merch for listeners only.

From fish houses to four-season hunting rigs, Team Lodge has been reinventing what “camp” looks like for outdoorsmen. Brian sits down with Tanner Thompson-Moad to talk about how the company evolved from plywood shanties in 2003 to some of the most versatile hunting and fishing trailers on the road today.

They cover the full story — from solving pain points like cramped trailers and freezing nights to building furniture systems like the Bunch and the Sleater that turn any enclosed trailer into a real hunting camp. Tanner explains why durability and comfort matter more than hype, how Team Lodge builds gear that fits both ice season and elk season, and why a good night’s sleep can be the difference between tagging out and heading home early.

Whether you’re running a $1,500 Facebook Marketplace special or speccing out a fully loaded toy hauler, this episode will get you thinking about how to build the right basecamp for your hunts.
