Launch One w/ Mason Springer

Ace Coleman #1 - Building The Shot

In this episode of Launch One, I sat down with pro archer Ace Coleman and got into the details that actually matter. We start with equipment—arrow setups, point weight, aluminum vs carbon, and how small changes affect forgiveness and shot execution. Then we get into tournament talk, Vegas, and how Ace got started in Archery. There’s a lot in here on building a better shot, tuning your setup, and understanding why things work—not just what to do. If you’re serious about improving your archery, from indoor target to competition shooting, this one covers a lot.

Gracen Fletcher #1 - Chasing 900

In this episode of Launch One, I sat down with pro archer Gracen Fletcher after the Vegas Shoot to break down what it takes to compete at the highest level of archery. We get into her approach to shooting under pressure, shot execution, and what it really feels like when everything is working. We also talk through bow setup, release tension, and how small adjustments can impact performance across a full tournament. This episode covers both indoor target archery and 3D archery, along with the mental side of competition—staying consistent, trusting your shot, and executing when it matters most. If you’re serious about improving your archery, whether it’s chasing a 900, building a better shot process, or competing at a higher level, there’s a lot you can take from this one.

Carl Kossuth #1 - Saddle Up For The Hunt

In this episode of Launch One, I sit down with Carl Kossuth, one of the founders and lead designers behind the hunting saddles at Tethrd. Carl talks about how his background in law enforcement, gear design, and sewing shelters eventually led him into the early saddle hunting movement and helped shape one of the most influential saddle companies in the industry. We get into the evolution of saddle hunting, the design philosophy behind modern saddles, and the meat and potatoes of the gear: materials, saddle geometry, minimalist climbing systems, and why a full mobile setup can weigh under 7 pounds. Carl also explains the basics of climbing and setting up in a tree, dialing in tether and bridge position, and how body mechanics affect stability when you’re shooting from a saddle. If you’ve ever wondered how saddle hunting works or what actually goes into designing a high-performance saddle, this episode dives into it with someone who’s been part of the movement from the beginning.

Annabelle Moore #1 - Transitioning to ASA 3D

In this episode of Launch One, I sit down with Annabell Moore to talk how she got into archery and competing at a high level. We go through her current setup — bow specs, draw length and holding weight, stabilizer balance, sight and peep configuration, and arrow selection — along with how she approaches tuning and diagnosing problems when groups open up. We also talk tournament experience, practice habits, and the process of transferring a setup from indoor season to outdoor 3D, including prep for the ASA event in Foley, Alabama this weekend. It’s a mix of background, competition insight, and practical equipment talk for anyone trying to build a more consistent setup.

Chuck Durnil #1 - Pawn Shop Bow to Pro

In this episode of Launch One, I sit down with Chuck Durnil, a competitor I met at The Lancaster Archery Classic, who went from picking up a pawn shop bow during a hard season of life to becoming a high-level tournament shooter and pro shop owner. We talk about how archery gave him structure, focus, and a path forward — and how that foundation turned into a career in the sport. We also break down Lancaster prep, bow setup and tuning decisions, stabilizer and sight choices, mental game strategy, and what actually matters when you’re trying to perform under pressure. This one covers both the turning point and the technical side — and how they connect. Follow him at Chuck Competitive Archer.
