Summary
Most archery events are about punching targets and comparing scores. Total Archery Challenge is something entirely different. In Episode 315 of the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Jimmy, Tim, and the crew after an unforgettable weekend at the Pennsylvania Total Archery Challenge to relive the shots, stories, and experiences that make this event one of the most anticipated gatherings in archery. From steep terrain and demanding angles to targets that force you to trust your instincts, TAC pushes archers beyond their comfort zones and into a true test of skill, focus, and adaptability.
Throughout the episode, we break down some of the course's most memorable shots—including the infamous bedded buck and a towering mule deer target stretching beyond 100 yards—while sharing the laughs, challenges, and camaraderie that unfolded along the way. We talk about the mental side of shooting, overcoming equipment issues in the field, and why the community surrounding Total Archery Challenge continues to grow year after year. Whether you're a bowhunter, competitive archer, or someone who simply loves outdoor adventure, this conversation captures what makes TAC so special: great people, unforgettable memories, and a chance to sharpen your skills while having an absolute blast in the mountains.
So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!
