Summary

Episode 303 of the Antler Up Podcast features a conversation with Nate Sellers of Average Jack Archery, diving into the lessons learned through seasons of hunting, consistent archery practice, and mental resilience. Together, we unpack how indoor archery leagues and regular reps play a major role in outdoor success, and why practice matters more than perfect conditions. Nate shares insights on understanding deer behavior, managing stress in high-pressure moments, and the importance of quickly recovering from bad shots—because one mistake doesn’t have to define a hunt or a season. We also discuss the value of the archery community and competition, from welcoming local leagues to the role they play in building confidence, skills, and long-term improvement. Nate explains how getting out of your comfort zone, engaging with others, and focusing on action over overanalyzing gear can transform both your shooting and your mindset. This episode is a reminder that growth comes from consistency, reflection, and embracing failure as part of the process—making Episode 303 a must-listen for bowhunters and archers looking to sharpen their mental game and continue getting better year after year. 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  https://averagejackarchery.com/ Our Sponsors: * Check out Thompson Cigars and use my code SE for a great deal: https://thompsoncigar.com * Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my code EMPIRE25 for a great deal: https://www.trollco.com/hunting Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
