🎯 New Episode!
We sat down with Jeff Stringer from VPA Broadheads to talk fixed heads, arrow setups, and cutting through the noise in the hunting industry.

No fluff. No hype. Just real talk on what works — and why tuning your bow matters more than trends.

🦌 Shoot what works for YOU. Tune your damn bow.

After getting my setup tuned at Lancaster Archery, the bow feels smoother than ever.
Already seeing my fixed heads flying true—basically identical to my field points.

Time to lock in.

Freedom, tradition, and the pursuit of whitetails. 🇺🇸
This 4th of July, we honor the sacrifices that gave us the freedom to chase what we love—on and off the mountain.
From sunrise in the woods to stories at deer camp, this is the American way.
Happy Independence Day!

I sat down with Bill Thompson, the owner of Spartan Forge, for a real conversation about what hunting—especially bowhunting—truly means. It’s more than just a harvest… it’s a way of life.

We also break down Spartan Forge’s tools, how I’m starting to use them alongside others, and how they’re giving back to the men and women who serve this country.

If you’ve ever wondered how Spartan Forge stacks up—or how to actually use its features—this episode is for you.

I now run both OnX and Spartan Forge—each brings something different to the table.
