Champion archer, engineer, and co-owner of Beast Broadheads and Bowmar Archery, David Houser joins the Bowhunter Podcast for an in-depth conversation on bow tuning, competitive archery, and the explosive growth of Beast Broadheads. 
David breaks down the often-overlooked details that can dramatically improve bow accuracy, including D-loop position, D-loop length, draw length tuning, and stabilization setup. Drawing from years as a professional competitive archer and his engineering background from Penn State University, David explains how small adjustments can transform a bow's sight picture and consistency. 
The conversation also dives deep into the creation of Beast Broadheads, the engineering philosophy behind the design, and how the company developed its patented "bone avoiding technology." David shares the story of how he transitioned from full-time pro shooting into entrepreneurship alongside Josh Bomar and the team behind one of the hottest brands in archery today. 
Topics covered include:
Bow tuning fundamentals for hunters
D-loop positioning and sight picture optimization
Draw length micro-adjustments
Stabilizer setup strategy
The engineering behind Beast Broadheads
Broadhead aerodynamics and penetration
Competitive archery lessons applied to bowhunting
Accuracy testing and long-range shooting
Future innovations coming from Beast
Whether you're tuning a new hunting setup for fall or looking to improve your consistency and confidence behind the bow, this episode is packed with practical advice and technical insight from one of the sharpest minds in modern archery.

On this episode of the Bowhunter Podcast, we sit down with Bryce Pick from Spot Hogg Archery and longtime bowhunter and writer Jace Bauserman to break down one of the most interesting new bowsight innovations in recent years: the Spot Hogg PRIZ system.
The PRIZ is a non-magnifying prism designed to work with Spot Hogg's new ROTI sight housing, helping archers gain additional sight clearance and extend their practice range without changing their hunting setup. Bryce explains how the system bends light to shift the sight picture, allowing shooters to move their sight housing higher while still aiming at the same point.
Jace shares his real-world experience using the PRIZ in the field and on the range, including how it has helped him practice at extreme distances with his actual hunting bow, arrows and sight setup. The conversation also covers legality, ethical bowhunting, long-distance practice, TAC-style shoots, setup tips and why shooting farther can make normal hunting distances feel more controlled and confident.
This is not about encouraging long-range shots on animals. It is about becoming a better archer through better practice, better sight clearance and more precise aiming at extended distances.

On this episode of the Bowhunter Podcast, host Christian Berg sits down with world champion archer and passionate bowhunter Paige Pearce for a deep dive into the mental side of archery and bowhunting.
Paige shares stories from her competitive career, her bowhunting adventures, and her new feature in Bowhunter Magazine, including a high-pressure lion hunt in South Africa that tested years of preparation and instinct. From tournament pressure to buck fever, Paige explains why success with a bow often comes down to more than physical practice — it comes down to training your mind.
The conversation covers visualization, subconscious programming, shot routines, confidence, equipment setup, and how bowhunters can better prepare for the moment of truth. Paige also discusses her Insight Mental Programming system, how it works, and why mental preparation can help hunters make better shots when adrenaline is high.
Whether you're preparing for whitetail season, western big game, 3D shoots, or tournament archery, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you stay calm, focused, and ready when it matters most.

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that changed our nation forever. For New Jersey bowhunter Will Jimeno — a former New York Port Authority police officer and one of fewer than 20 people to be rescued from the World Trade Center rubble — it is an opportunity to honor of the memory of fellow officers who didn't make it out alive and reflect on the important role his love of bowhunting played in his physical, mental and emotional recovery from those 13 horrifying hours he spent trapped below 30 feet of concrete and steel. Jimeno, a longtime friend of Bowhunter and one of the inspirations for the film World Trade Center, retells his harrowing story and his never-ending mission to honor the legacy of those who lost their lives that day.
