Summary
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.
So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!
