CAM Podcast

We sat down with Jeff Poole, President and CEO of the Archery Trade Association, to talk about the upcoming, 2026 ATA Trade Show, Archery & Bowhunting Supershow and the Rushmore Rumble, all coming to the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis Jan. 6-11, 2026. This will be the first ATA show that's open to consumers - something the general public has been asking for for years. They will have the opportunity to see all the latest and greatest archery gear, and attend the Rushmore Rumble archery tournament, where they can watch some of the best target archers in the world compete. They can even enter the competition if they want. If the ATA Show has ever interested you, listen to our discussion with Jeff Poole.

We got the chance to sit down with new World No. 1 ranked men's compound archer Mathias Fullerton of Denmark right after he took the top spot from the legendary Mike Schloesser, who held the crown for over four years. Fullerton talks about the work he put in to get to the top, what it means to him to be there, and what's next for him in his archery career.

The podcast we've all wanted to listen to! Longtime pro archer Darrin Christenberry, who is the pro staff coordinator for The Outdoor Group - think Elite, Scott, CBE, Altra - talks in depth about the changing landscape of professional archery. What does it take to be a pro? Can you make a lot of money as a pro? How to get to be a sponsored archer? Darrin dives into all these subjects as he works on contracts for the 2026 season.

Elite pro Stephen Altizer won ASA Shooter of the Year this year in his first season as a Senior Pro. Altizer talks about what it was like getting that crown after competing for over 20 years in the ASA. He also talks about the changing face of professional archery and how Elite is navigating those changes, and covers several other intriguing topics.

We sat down with ASA and IBO Women's Pro Emily McCarthy after she won two IBO tournaments and an ASA all in a row during the summer of 2025. Emily talks about her hot streak, and offers insight into her mental game on the range and in the shootoff; her preparation for 3D tournaments; and why the "worst" arrow in her quiver is named after her cat. Listen in as we talk with one of the most popular pros on the 3D circuit.
