 The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 390: From the Line to the Timber: How Target Archery Builds Better Hunters - Nate Sellers In this episode of the The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast, Adam Miller sits down with Nate Sellers to break down the energy and opportunity surrounding the Lancaster Archery Classic—a rare stage where amateur archers can test themselves alongside elite competitors. They discuss why Lancaster provides a unique proving ground for up-and-coming shooters and how managing downtime between ends is just as important as executing the shot itself. A major theme of the conversation is developing a “goldfish mentality”—the ability to forget a bad arrow instantly and move forward without hesitation. Nate explains how shooting spots sharpens precision during the off-season and why competition speed limits help maintain fairness across divisions. They also contrast tournament shooting with bowhunting scenarios, highlighting how mental discipline translates between both worlds. The episode dives into the path to becoming a professional archer, emphasizing the serious time commitment, financial investment, and lifestyle dedication required to compete at the highest level. Beyond technical skill, Nate shares that the true separators are the intangibles—focus, composure, and work ethic—that simply can’t be taught. They also explore the current state of 3D archery in Central Pennsylvania, advancements in bow technology that have dramatically reduced common equipment failures, and the critical role pro shop owners play in proper setup and maintenance. The discussion wraps with insights on gear innovation, including how customer feedback directly shapes product development at brands like Huntworth. This episode is packed with value for competitive archers, bowhunters, and anyone serious about improving their mental game, equipment reliability, and long-term performance in the sport of archery. https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai (https://www.spartanforge.ai/) - save 25% with code bowhunter https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com (https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/) s https://www.zingerfletches.com (https://www.zingerfletches.com/) https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com (https://www.lucky-buck.com/) https://www.bigshottargets.com (https://www.bigshottargets.com/) https://genesis3dprinting.com (https://genesis3dprinting.com/) https://vitalizeseed.com (https://vitalizeseed.com/) http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon Learn more about your ad choices.
