LIMBITLESS Podcast

What starts with two A's and loves archery? Aaron Adams and the LIMBITLESS Podcast host, Aaron Ritter! Yes, this episode is a bit "A A Ron" heavy, but I assure you it is well worth your time. I met Aaron Adams at the GAS Bowstrings facility in Clay City, Kentucky this past summer while hosting the 2024 A3G Initiative recipient, Dustin Pruett. Aaron is part of the GAS team (more like...

Episode 23 has been a work in progress for nearly a year. Derek Craig, founder and owner of New Day Outdoors, and I have been trying TO overlap our calendars since we last saw each other at the 2024 Archery Trade Association (ATA) last January. Between work, family, turkey hunting, show season and a myriad of other outside influences, we have been unsuccessful in sitting down with microphones in o...

Episode 22 was recorded in the living room of the Tyson's Corners Cottage, in Lampasas, Texas, the final evening of the 2024 A3G Initiative Texas Whitetail Hunt. Blessing the airways during this episode, or on your YouTube screen, are board members Aaron Ritter (your's truly), Michael Sims and Chris Dunlap. More importantly, we are joined with this year's recipient Dustin Pruett. We...

Grab a cold beverage, chill out and give this short Waypoint episode a listen. I execute a fair amount of travel in pursuit of big game nationwide. Caring for and transporting game is not cheap and should never be an after thought. In my opinion, post-harvest requirements should be given as much attention and planning as any other aspect of the hunt. Soft-sided coolers are an excellent for transpo...

How many listeners enjoy hunting in wet boots? How many of you would like a lightweight, packable boot-drying option? If you answered no, followed by a yes, then this is an episode you need to listen to! The motivation and ingenuity hardcore hunters bring to the market is impressive. Case in point, Mountain Hunter Outdoors. Founder and owner, Chad Gustavson, is one of those hardcore outdoor enthus...

How mobile is your mobile hunting game? How and where do you deploy your tree saddle setup? This Waypoint episode provides detailed information on my backcountry tree saddle setup for the 2024-25 big game season. Subtle changes were made from last year's backcountry rig, primarily with my saddle of choice.  This year, the Latitude Outdoors Maverick will be joining me on my wilderness adventur...

A solid human doing great things for others in need is what Episode 20 is all about! Emily Throckmorton, founder and owner of Kaizen Athletics, is one of those humans who continuously lives her life in the pursuit of benefitting others. Establishing a functional fitness center near the shore front of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Emily decided to focus a portion of her life and business around trainin...

Latitude Outdoors continuous to push the envelope of mobile hunting performance. This year, that standard has been elevated to new levels with several new products. This Waypoint episode is focused on the Maverick single-panel saddle. Yes, LIMB-itless Outdoors will be taking a brake from his trusted Method II saddle, and spend the season suspended over big game animals in the newly released Maveri...

Part 6 of 7 brings a new twist to this hunt series... Chris Dunlap is no longer able to make the hunt. LIMB-itless Outdoors is off to Idaho for a backcountry hunt with his cousin Michael, who is also an up and coming videographer and film producer.  The result has changed some travel plans, how and where meat will be processed and transported, and how the elk will be engaged with. Not the adjustme...

A two year journey culminated on the Ritter Ranch, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, opening weekend of the 2024 big game season. East Coast Nick succeeded in harvesting the following "first's": - First archery harvest - First archery deer - First velvet buck - First deer harvested on the Ritter Ranch - First deer loaded in the new UTV - First deer hoisted by the new Kubota tractor...

This episode, LIMBITLESS has the pleasure of hosting Blake VanTussenbrook from Badlands Gear. We lay-er it on thick during this hour-long session navigating the fundamentals and options for staying warm and dry during various hunting seasons, and the weather and temperature changes we, as hunters, experience. From simple, well developed ensembles to an overview of all the layering items offered in...

The elk hunt is nearly upon us. In Part 5 of 7 of this Hunt Series we open up our packs and talk about the gear we will be hauling into the backcountry and surviving with. We try to refrain from falling down any rabbit holes or straying from the intended topic, but sometimes the wind shifts or the thermals require a hunter to shift his direction. LOL With less than a month before departing the tra...

This episode is hosts Jarrod Combs, a fellow outdoorsman and athlete, who recently completed his fist 50K Ultra Marathon!  Listen in as we discuss Jarrod's significant running accomplishment, discuss t...

It has only taken 4 months to publish the first Waypoint episode.  Shame on me. I will willing go haze myself. LOL I will say, recording and publishing this episode with one of my closest friends, Anthony "Mussolini" Fiorilli was worth the wait. Recorded in the Latitude Outdoors exhibit, with Alex Chopp's brilliant backside as our backdrop, we crush 15 minutes of expo contact, along...

LIMB-itless Outdoors has leased and/or purchased whitetail hunting property over the past 7 years, and manually worked and prepped said property without the assistance of UTV's or tractors. It has been a labor of love and a bit of amputee pride. However, those days are now over thanks to the crew at DELMARVA Power Sports in Salisbury, MD. The family owned business has been assisting farmers,...

This episode has been long overdue. My connection with Robin Parks and Hot Shot Archery began via email and their generous support of my 501(c)(3) the A3G Initiative. Just shy of a year after we began communicating via email, we found ourselves in an elevator, unbeknownst to each other, at the Archery Trade Association show. The interaction has continued to grow. Robin shares some background on Ho...

During this Hunt Series episode, Part 4 of 7 to be exact, host Aaron Ritter and hunting partner Chris Dunlap venture into the topic of e-scouting.  Unlike other shows or presenters, we look at e-scouting for more than topo lines, slope angle and direction and certain terrain features. We use e-scouting in every aspect of our hunt planning. Travel, emergency action planning, meat care, food stops a...

This episode of the LIMBITLESS Podcast is the first run at a "livestream" event (you are listening to the audio version). Was it a success? That is up to you as the listener to determine. Episode 14 hosts Ashton Grove of REACHOPS, out of the Hampton Roads, Virginia area. Ashton is an avid outdoorsman, committed to functional fitness and a professional in the world of treating and support...

Nick the Great visits LIMB-itless Outdoors proper and spends 5 days enjoying a liberating vacation over the 4th of July holiday. Amongst the many activities experienced during the visit, Nick was introduced to the world of the eastern whitetail, more specifically "mock scrape-ology".

What do you get when you mix Total Archery Challenge with a Tough Mudder? The Beast Mode Archery Challenge! Hailing out of Wisconsin, The Beast Mode Archery Challenge was created by archer, hunter and fitness professional Brian Austin.

Episode 11 was recorded in a rustic Air BnB in Stanton, Kentucky, which happens to be a stone’s throw away from the GAS Bowstring facility. The GAS Bowstring team hosted the A3G Initiative and our 2024 recipient, Dustin Pruett, for the bow build and one on one coaching for Dustin. To sum the event up in one word, Powerful! I do not want this description to detract from the content of this episode,...

One arrow a day... Chris Dunlap is known to ask this question via text or during phone conversation any time you are communicating with him. Why? Because one arrow a day is all it takes to make a difference. In Part 3 of 7 of this Non-Resident Archery Elk Hunt Series, Chris and I discuss our set-ups. What bows and accessories we are each shooting, our arrow builds and what our shooting prep looks...

Previously living an unhealthy lifestyle, the couple decided they wanted to transform their lives and outdoor hobbies through functional fitness and nutrition. LIMB-itless Outdoors met Alex and Cori on the side of a damp and muddy ski sl...

Some turkey hunts strike the friction call a bit raspier than others... This Hunt Series wraps up the 2024 Virginia turkey season with East Coast Nick and LIMB-itless Outdoors packed into what they refer to as "Revolution Canyon".  The 5 day/4 night trip was cut short by Mother Nature's threat of extraneous rainfall (as in inches in hours), and birds that just wouldn't talk. No...

This episode was recorded on the side of the mountain, off trail, during the 2024 Total Archery Challenge, Seven Springs, PA. If you have never attended a Total Archery Challenge, commonly referred to as TAC, you are most certainly missing out on a memorable archery experience.  We were blessed this year with incredible weather, an even better group, and thoroughly enjoyed every single minute duri...
