EP56. Lord of the Death Darts with Special Guest Dustin Lovell
In this episode, I’m joined by Dustin Lovell, the owner of Ullrs Archery and a master of crafting top-tier "death darts," aka arrows. We dive into what got both of us into hunting, sharing our personal journeys and how we’ve helped others take their first steps into the world of archery and hunting. We also talk about the differences between Eastern hunting and the challenges of Western big game hunting, offering insights for those curious about both.
Dustin and I break down why archery is such a beautiful, lifelong sport—whether you hunt or not—and how advancements in tech have made it easier than ever for people to get into it. Lastly, we tackle some hard-hitting issues facing the outdoor industry, including the dangers of ballot box biology and the impact of initiatives like Colorado's Prop 127. This episode is packed with both practical advice and thoughtful discussion, so whether you're a seasoned bowhunter or new to the game, you won't want to miss it.
