Summary

This episode is a wonderful conversation about bows and traditional archery. STRIKER BOWS Rick Ellis has been producing custom handcrafted longbows and recurves since 1997. What started out as a simple urge to construct his own handcrafted longbow has turned into over a decades worth of customer happy products that can be found nearly around the world. The product speaks for itself. A simple internet search for Striker Bows will result in pages of comments and reviews from customers who all have different stories but one common theme…they love their bow. Sometimes in life things just fall into place. Striker Bows was born from a desire to harvest a deer with a small and sleek traditional bow that wasn’t available on the market, so Rick Ellis went to work building his own. Those first simple designs out of a garage in Ohio have evolved into a unique line of longbows and recurves sold across the globe. A family business from the beginning, Rick’s sons, Dusty and John, have gone from helping dad whenever needed to full partners in bringing ingenuity and performance to the traditional bow market. Twenty years of hard work and constant innovation have led to the introduction of the RK1. This bow incorporates the performance and precision that Striker is known for, while adding new options and flexibility that the modern archer is accustomed to.The drive for excellence has taken Striker from a one-man operation to one of the leading traditional bow companies in the world. The Striker Bows family will continue to work with modern technology and time-honored values to bring the traditional archer the best equipment available in the cosmos.

0:00.0	Happy Wednesday morning everyone. Welcome to Cafferoo Cast. I've got Frank back in the office,
0:07.0	believe it or not. He helped my football coach yesterday get a deer. I wasn't there for that,
0:11.7	but Frank is back, but he's not joining us on this podcast because he's so far behind.
0:17.3	But I've got more or less new friend. I've met you not too long ago. Just conversing about
0:26.0	traditional archery Dusty from Striker Bozon. Thank you for joining in.
0:30.6	Yeah, man. Thanks for having me appreciate it. Yeah, I think our first conversation was
0:35.8	back in January. I think it was about a week after I got back from ATA. You actually just called,
0:42.4	you know, just as a customer, so to speak, and we talked for, I don't know, probably,
0:47.9	at least 45 minutes just about those and set up. And at the very end, you just asked,
0:53.4	you know, hey, you guys have a journey of thing with industry people or relationships.
1:00.4	And I was like, yeah, absolutely. And then they told me we were. So that's, to me, that was pretty
1:05.2	awesome because we get so many calls or start relationships with them. The first thing they tell me
1:10.7	is, hey, this is who I am. And for you to just talk about product and traditional Bozon general,
1:20.3	that was pretty cool. I know we started off on the right, right steps.
1:24.9	Super interested in that RK1, the only thing I was worried about is I got so much shit from
1:29.8	shooting a aluminum riser before. But you got you, you sent me one of those. It was a little,
1:36.3	I think it was kind of a rush deal. You had one sitting there that I could try. And the,
1:42.9	and it was a little bit lower poundage, but I have to say the, that was probably,
1:49.7	you ended up sending another one later on. So the first one I liked, but I didn't obviously have a
1:56.1	exact comparison because it was, I think it was closer to like maybe 48 pounds, 46 pounds.
2:01.3	Yeah, yeah. And it was a 60 inch. But that has to be a big seller for you. And I'm not saying this
2:06.4	because you're on, that Bo is badass. And multiple ways.
