This Podcast is with Paige Pearce who has been on an archery range since the week after she was born. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Paige who’s continuing to dominate multiple styles of archery competitions. She won most majors across the globe and continues to juggle her passion for bowhunting and education while competing. We dive into so many topics relating to mentors, the mental game, fundamentals, elite level competition, some archery history and much more.

This podcast is with one of the leading ladies of the bowhunting community who has climbed the ladder in the industry. I’ve gained a lot of respect for Jessica just in the decade I’ve seen her in the industry. I think it’s important that more women and youth get into the outdoors but more importantly, stay there. Jess takes me down her timeline of her first hunts with her dad to being mentored by one of mine as well. This is a great podcast discussing personal pressure, growing up in bowhunting and unlocking new doors in the industry. Jessica is currently the Brand Relations Manager for Montana Knife Company.

This Podcast is with PJ Reilly from Lancaster Archery Supply. PJ is very a familiar face in the archery industry and such an addictive personality. He’s covered more pro events as a commentator than I can remember. We talked about our upcoming takeover event and then I got to know more about Lancaster County and the OG archery spots.

This podcast is a must listen for the archery community. I’m speaking with James Yates who is an Engineer, Backcountry Outdoorsman, Technical Writer, Husband/Father and Accomplished Hunter. James is fascinated with archery accuracy and forgiveness and finding non bias information that will help those who need it in the archery community. James just conducted a great arrow test in conjunction with Precision Cut Archery & Easton Archery collecting data of several aspects of arrow flight. In particular, to study how an arrow’s components (vanes, shaft diameter, shaft length, point tip type, etc.) affect ballistic properties such as aerodynamic drag and restorative lift (how an out-of-tune arrow corrects itself), and therefore, how an arrow build can be optimized for specific purposes, such as hunting different species (with different broadheads) and various target archery events. What I appreciated about this test is that Easton has revealed their bullet proof shooting machine for the first time publicly giving the consumers to archery a deeper look at what testing methods are usually happening behind the scenes. James and the team were at the Easton Foundation Center documenting evidence of different aspects of arrow flight, cause and affects, downrange ballistics, pairing vanes & broadheads. This podcast tees up the information that will later be released for all to see.

An inside look at the 2025 HOYT Bow Lineup with Brian Gold.

Get ready to dive deep down an archery rabbit hole! I wanted to give you some knowledge on design that you won’t hear anywhere else. The difference is in the details and I talked one of my fellow archery nerds to tell you the “why” that you haven’t heard yet.

Brian has a lifetime of archery under his belt. Gold started out worked in archery retail for 6 years in high school and through college as department manager why chasing an engineering degree. Through this he developed a passion for archery and the industry as a whole. Since graduating college in engineering he went straight to Hoyt and worked through the ranks from the bottom to the Engineering Manager. He’s a passionate hunter and target archer who has a very well rounded understanding of what we all demand in our gear. He and the Hoyt team have used a lot of new testing methods to building this 2025 lineup that has the Team really excited about accuracy.

A podcast with an industry mogul Nick Mundt from Bone Collector. I first met Nick when he was hired as Bill Jordan’s camera guy over 20 years ago. We were both in Montana for monster bucks 10. Nick was so damn funny and such a great hunter and guide. It was a pleasure knowing him before having a name for himself. Over the years he has carved his name into bowhunting history with all the great content as one of the triple threat Bone Collectors. I wanted to catch up with Nick following a TAC event and talk about old times and talk about broadheads with someone who knows how to stack them up!

This podcast is with Hoyt President Zak Kurtzhals. We talk past, present and future of our friendship, competition trail and time in the industry. We recorded this hours before the announcement that I was returning home to Hoyt for my next chapter in archery. Zak has an amazing story starting at Hoyt as an accessories engineer and working up the ladder as lead engineer and then President. I felt like this would be a good listen for the nock nation to understand where we came from and why returning to friends and alliances is so important.

In this podcast I spill my guts to the Archery Community about what my plans are moving forward and what bow will be in my hand. I thought it was time to walk our faithful friends through my timeline in the industry. Where it started. Where I’ve been. Where I’m going and the why’s! I’m truly blessed to have 30 years in the industry and I wanted you all to know what has led me to the choices moving forward! Many of these topics I haven’t said publicly but it’s an important part of who I am and I wanted to be as transparent as possible with the Nock On Nation.
