    Shoot Better by Shooting Farther: Spot Hogg's PRIZ System

    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.

    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.

    Sheds & Strutters

    Spring is here, and that means one thing—shed hunting and turkey season are in full swing. In this episode of the Bowhunter Podcast, host Christian Berg is joined by Jace Bauserman and Clint Casper to break down the strategies, timing, and tactics that can make or break your success in the woods. From the Midwest to the Rockies, the guys dive deep into when bucks actually drop their antlers, how weather impacts timing, and why late March through early April can be prime time—depending on where you hunt. They also explain how using trail cameras can give you a major edge when targeting specific bucks and locating shed zones. But this isn't just about picking up antlers… You'll learn how shed hunting directly translates into fall success, from identifying bedding areas to understanding movement patterns. The conversation also shifts into spring turkey hunting, covering everything from scouting strategies to reading sign, locating strut zones, and understanding daily bird behavior. And if you're tired of sitting in a blind, you're in for something different. Clint and Jace break down their run-and-gun bowhunting tactics, including: Calling setups that pull birds past you (not straight in) Drawing undetected in the open Using bow-mounted decoys for ultra-close encounters Shot placement tips for clean, ethical kills Whether you're chasing sheds, scouting for deer season, or gearing up for turkeys, this episode is packed with real-world experience and hard-earned lessons from serious bowhunters. If you want to be more effective this fall, it starts right now.
