I’m super pumped to release this week’s podcast. Some of you may have heard me talk about taking a buddy of mine hunting who has never hunted before. Hunting recruitment of adult hunters is probably the most effective way to strengthen the future of our hunting heritage, not to mention the opportunity for non-hunters to experience the quiet time to reflect while hunting and enjoying the outdoors. This podcast is a conversation with my friend Trevor leading up to the turkey opener in PA, and the day he becomes a hunter. We’ll do a part 2 to get Trevor’s perspective on the hunt…hopefully with some grip and  grin pictures—tune in!

Today on the DIY Report we are kicking of a new 4 part mini series with Greg Litzinger (AKA Bowhunting Fiend)  covering all things archery: technique, bow selection, practice habits, bow tuning…you name it we cover it! If you don’t know, Greg is a from the east coast and hunts high pressured public land in NJ. He’s well known for his scouting videos and locating buck beds.

What some may not know is Greg is an accomplished competitive archer and at one point made his living in a pro shop. In recent years I’ve gotten more into understanding my archery equipment better and it has made me a better archer and hunter. I thought it would be cool to cover some of the concepts that get thrown around related to archery…using regular guy talk. I hope you enjoy the conversation (and the forthcoming parts 2 through 4) as much as I did!
