On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we talk about the perception of Hunters on Social Media and the Bowmar / Under Armour debacle. Was Under Armour wrong? Do hunters have a  responsibility to present hunting in a way that satisfies the wider public? Sometimes we hunters naively wield the "hunting is legal" shield and turn our backs on the non-hunting public.  The problem is, when the non-hunting publ...

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen I get to hang out with my friend, Ryan Lampers; although I call him Donnie Vincent Lampers. Ryan has a very Donnie Vincent-esque look that makes me think of films like Rivers Divide and Tera Nova--and when I look at Ryan, I find myself reciting Donnie lines in my head like, "Sometimes hunts go quick. Sometimes they take years. But one thing's for sure, there's alwa...
