I’m here in Nebraska right now bowhunting, and I’m just going to kind of breakdown my archery setup with what I’m using, why I’m using it, why I like it and everything like that. We’re going to start off with the bow, which is the Mathews VXR. I think it’s a year old model from...

When it comes to attempting archery headshots on turkeys, there can be a few different pros and cons. First, when it comes to the pros, if you are able to pull it off successfully, the turkey will die instantly. There won’t be any tracking necessary, which could happen with body shots.

I was hanging out at the local archery pro-shop with the teens in my High School Archery club. The kids were having fun flinging arrows and poking holes in paper. I was chatting about different arrow setups with the shop owner, as will happen in an archery shop, and we were discussing the FOC of...

Chris Perkins takes on a moving target with his bow. His trick shot is something else. Some guys can’t even hit this one with a shotgun. Of course, hopefully most can. Still impressive either way. It’s part of PSE Archery’s PSE Accuracy Challenge. He takes a moment to call out Christine Harrelson, full-time competitive archer,...
