  1. Perspective, Preparation, and Showing Up Anyway

    Perspective, Preparation, and Showing Up Anyway

    In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m getting real about something we all deal with—life being busy and never feeling fully “ready.” Between work, family, shooting, and preparing for the first PA ASA shoot of the season, it’s been one of those stretches where everything stacks up at once. But the truth is, that perfect window we’re all waiting for? It never really comes. This episode dives into the mindset shift that’s helped me lately—moving from “I have to” to “I get to,” and learning how to show up anyway, even when things aren’t perfect. I also break down how preparation plays a huge role in building confidence, from dialing in small details like arrow builds with Addictive Archery Co to getting my truck system organized with the ANKOR Point. These aren’t just gear upgrades—they’re ways to remove stress, stay focused, and trust your process when it’s time to perform. Whether you’re heading into a shoot, gearing up for the season, or just trying to balance everything life throws at you, this episode is all about perspective, preparation, and showing up ready anyway.

  2. Trust Your Setup: Stop Guessing and Start Executing Before the Season

    8 APR

    Trust Your Setup: Stop Guessing and Start Executing Before the Season

    In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down a recent weekend behind the bow where the focus wasn’t on building or changing anything but simply verifying. From dialing in sight tapes and confirming long-range accuracy to seeing just how precise the Precision Cut Archery program really is, this episode is all about removing guesswork and building real confidence in your setup. Because at this point in the season, it’s not about chasing perfection it’s about confirming what’s already there. I also dive into mistakes I’ve made in the past like over-adjusting and not verifying at distance and how those habits can quietly kill your confidence when it matters most. We talk about what it actually means to trust your setup, your process, and your execution, whether you’re preparing for TAC, ASA, or the whitetail woods. If you’ve ever questioned your gear or found yourself second-guessing a shot, this episode will help you simplify your approach, build confidence through confirmation, and step into the season ready to execute.

    Built With Purpose: My ASA Target Bow vs TAC & Hunting Rig

    On this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down my current bow setups and how I’ve built each one with a specific purpose in mind. With ASA season kicking off and TAC right around the corner, this is the time of year where everything starts to matter—your reps, your confidence, and the equipment in your hands. I dive into my ARC 34, which is my dedicated target and ASA rig, and why I’ve built it around stability, control, and repeatability when precision is the priority. I also walk through my ARC 30 setup, which is my go-to for TAC and hunting—built for adaptability, real-world scenarios, and executing shots when things aren’t perfect. From tuning insights to arrow builds and the mental shift between tournament shooting and hunting situations, this episode is all about understanding the “why” behind each setup. If you’re looking to dial in your gear with intention and build confidence heading into the season, this one’s for you.

    Woodsmanship In A World of Shortcuts w/ Jared Shaffer

    On this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Jared Shaffer from Tethrd for a conversation that goes far beyond gear and mobile setups. This is a deep dive into woodsmanship — what it actually means in 2026, and why it still separates consistent killers from the rest of the crowd. Jared and I unpack the difference between being aggressive and being reckless, especially in today’s mobile hunting culture. We talk about how to read sign with intention, when not to move, and why discipline often beats constant action. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing patience and pressure in the woods, this conversation hits home. We also zoom out and dig into Jared’s personal hunting philosophy — how he plans a hunt, what guides his decisions, and the subtle habits that give him an edge season after season. From mid-season adjustments to handling doubt and slow stretches, this episode is about sharpening your thinking, not just your setup. If March is about resetting, reflecting, and refining your approach before the next season begins, this episode sets the tone. Hunt smarter. Not louder.  So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up! www.tethrdnation.com www.huntworthgear.com www.sportsmensempire.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  5. Craftsmanship, Stewardship & Building Things the Right Way

    Craftsmanship, Stewardship & Building Things the Right Way

    Craftsmanship isn’t loud, it’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time. On Episode 308 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Craig Francis of ULTRAVIEW Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond products and releases. Craig helps shape how the brand shows up in the archery space, but more importantly, he’s thinking about standards, responsibility, and how you build trust in an industry that’s crowded with noise. We talk about craftsmanship as a mindset, how personal growth is often built through mistakes and experience, and why transparency and hunting ethics still matter when it would be easier to stay quiet. We also dig into what it really looks like to build and protect a brand behind the scenes. Craig shares the thinking behind ULTRAVIEW’s commitment to USA-made manufacturing, the realities people don’t see in product development, and why continuous improvement is baked into how they design and refine their gear. From the importance of storytelling in the hunting community to advocating for the future of the hunting industry itself, this episode is a reminder that how we build things — and how we represent this space — matters. This isn’t a product episode. It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, stewardship, and doing things the right way — in business, in the woods, and in life.

  6. The Craft Behind the Shot | Daniel Parker (Mathews Archery)

    The Craft Behind the Shot | Daniel Parker (Mathews Archery)

    Craftsmanship isn’t loud. It’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time. On Episode 307 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Daniel Parker from Mathews Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond gear and specs. Daniel works on the front lines at Mathews, spending his days talking with hunters, dealers, and archers—hearing what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters once the season is over. We dive into what separates a truly great brand from the rest: attention to detail, responsibility to the hunter, and the discipline to protect core values in an industry that’s constantly evolving. Daniel shares insights from inside Mathews, how real-world hunting feedback shapes the conversations he has every day, and why craftsmanship still matters when trends come and go. We also talk about the things hunters tend to overthink—and the things they don’t think enough about—when it comes to practice, consistency, and execution under pressure. From lessons learned in the field to patterns Daniel hears season after season, this episode is about understanding the why behind the gear, not just the gear itself. This isn’t a product episode. It’s a conversation about mindset, responsibility, and doing things the right way—whether you’re building bows, chasing deer, or sharpening your shot process. If you care about becoming a better hunter, a better archer, and doing things with intention, Episode 307 is for you.

    Built to Hunt: Preparing the Mind and Body That Carries You There

    In Episode 306 of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore sits down with Dr. Nick Bechtold of MTNTOUGH and Movement Physio for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be prepared as a hunter. This episode goes beyond workouts and routines, diving into the role physical readiness plays in mental resilience, confidence, and performance when it matters most. Drawing from his experience training hunters, military personnel, and first responders—as well as his hands-on work in physical therapy—Dr. Bechtold breaks down why consistent, intentional training is essential for longevity in the field. Together, Jeremy and Nick explore how physical preparedness sharpens decision-making under fatigue, builds mental toughness, and helps hunters show up capable rather than merely hopeful. Listeners will walk away with practical guidance on integrating smart, sustainable training into busy lives, along with a renewed perspective on preparation, mindset, and accountability. Whether you’re chasing whitetails close to home or pushing deep into the mountains, this episode will challenge you to elevate both your body and your approach to the hunt.
