Aron and Frank were in the office briefly and recorded a quick update on thier latest hunts.

John Dudley joins the podcast to give a detailed account of his successful Mule Deer Hunt in Eastern Colorado.
With days of zero wind we went back to traditional mulie hunting of long hours glassing open and bedding country. Thankful that @aron_snyder came over to glass with me on the morning that my buck was spotted. This bucks safe place area was super deceptive!! Although this looks like a flat tumbleweed pasture it was actually a diverse section with a lot of unseen pockets and rolls and drainages unseen to the eye. The section was filled with 2 year old corn stalks under the dead grass, volunteer dried wheat, thorns, sand burs, dried switchgrass and head deep entanglements of tumbleweeds. It was a mess. What made it worse is when I got close enough for a shot after hours of of a stalk I just couldn’t see the bucks vitals and arrow deflection was no doubt a problem. Getting archery close to this buck once with all the other eyes in the field or bedded animals you didn’t expect was hard enough. But I had to do it THREE times over two days. The key here was just be so methodical and take advantage of the brief pockets of wind gust. Honestly this is where I praise Yoga and ability to balance while crouched and on one leg for a long period of time while I would be slowly trying to weave my foot that was up in the air down to the ground through the mess without making a noise. I’m proud of this one because it was a level 10 chess match.

Aron is joined by Cody Greenwood for an in depth look at Trad bows.  This episode holds a bounty of impressive information for those looking to pick up a Trad bow for the first time, or looking to upgrade from their current bow.
 
Bow Tests:Traditional tackle is not readily available for Archers to pick up and test locally.  My goal is to provide Archers with unbiased quality information that helps them make a well educated choice and pick a bow that fits their needs. I have chosen metrics associated with Ergonomics, Performance and Sound to highlight the compromises within each Bowyer design.  I have worked hard  to make sure my testing results are accurate and repeatable. If you see a error or flaw feel free to contact me, I will correct it. 
My goal is to continuously improving myself as an Archer, the Archery Community and our Sport.  The Trad Community  at its core is made up of selfless people that help one another.  I hope this  effort maintains that spirit and adds value.   
God Bless,
Cody Greenwood
