I Got a $100 Recurve Bow - Here's What I Think | Obert Original Black Hunter

5 Goal Setting Mistakes I Keep Making (I Know Better...)

The first half of 2026 is nearly over. If your year is going anything like mine, you’re not exactly crushing those resolutions you set in January. I keep falling into the same goal traps, even though I know better. But it isn’t too late. In this episode I go over the five goal setting traps that I’ve seen come up most often and how to get around them. What's in this episode: * Why three to five goals for a year is the sweet spot * How to find the line between too vague and too rigid in your goals * Knowing the “why” behind your goals and why that matters * Planning for the obstacles and issues you’ll likely run into * Setting milestones that actually tell you if you're on track * Why focusing on inputs is better than outputs If your year doesn't look like you thought it would in January, maybe this will help.

Everything Changed

Two months ago my life changed forever. I am a dad now, and it’s been a crazy journey getting here and figuring out what fatherhood is like. This episode I get personal and go into our journey to becoming parents and what life has been like the last few months. Towards the end I talk about what this means for Endurhunt and the 2026 hunting seasons. Get in touch.

I Got a $100 Recurve Bow - Here's What I Think | Obert Original Black Hunter

I got a $100 recurve bow from Amazon as my first step into traditional archery. After shooting compound for years, I've always been drawn to the simplicity of a recurve — no sights, no let off, just a stick and a string. I wasn't ready to drop hundreds just to find out if I'd like it, so I found the Obert Original Black Hunter and decided to give it a shot. Turns out, I can barely hit the target at 20 yards. And I'm having a blast. There's something about pulling back a recurve that reminds me of pitching a baseball growing up — with enough repetition, you start to feel where the arrow wants to go. I'm not there yet, but the challenge is exactly what I was looking for. What You'll Learn: - Why I wanted a recurve after years of shooting compound - What the Obert Black Hunter actually costs once you add arrows and setup (hint: the arrows cost almost as much as the bow) - The difference between the standard Amazon version and the inspected Shatter Proof Archery version - My honest first impressions after a few weeks of instinctive shooting - Whether I plan to hunt with it (and why that's not really the point right now) If you've been curious about traditional archery but don't want to commit serious money just to find out if it's for you, this episode might help you decide.Referenced Gear:- Obert Original Black Hunter (Amazon - NOT affiliate): https://a.co/d/0flzXZfX- The INSPECTED Black Hunter: https://www.shatterproofarchery.com/products/the-inspected-black-hunter-recurve-bow-international-listing Get in touch.

How I Hunted Differently This Season (And It Worked)

In this episode, I'm breaking down what I changed about my whitetail hunting approach this season and why it led to one of my best seasons yet. I filled two tags, one of which was my first solo DIY public land deer and some honest lessons learned along the way. At the start of the year, I released an episode called "The Year of Firsts" where I set specific goals: 1. No hunting actively off trail cameras 2. Being more mobile 3. Hunting sign instead of spots 4. Getting my first Tennessee deer. This is the follow-up, what actually happened when I committed to those goals. I'll walk through what worked, what didn't (water access was humbling), and goals for next season. If you've been thinking about changing your approach or want to see what goal-setting actually looks like over a full season, this one's for you.

Why I Keep Coming Back to Upland Bird Hunting

I just went on my third pheasant hunt, and in this episode I'm sharing my experiences with upland bird hunting and what keeps bringing me back to it. I talk through my first pheasant hunt on public land, how I missed the social side of bird hunting after moving to Tennessee, and how upland hunting preserves became a great opportunity to experience pheasant and quail hunting where wild birds aren't available. What I love about upland hunting is the social aspect—it's a completely different pace from deer hunting. There's something special about watching well-trained dogs work, the camaraderie in the field, and the way it breaks up the hunting season with a different style of hunting altogether. If you've ever been curious about upland bird hunting, especially pheasant or quail hunting through preserves, maybe this episode will nudge you to give it a try.
