Show Notes
Imagine a candid, hilarious conversation that dives deep into the world of archery where support from sponsors doesn't make failures less funny, and being banned for a tainted supplement becomes just another chapter in the story.

Jacob shares how his journey from shooting tournaments as a kid to running a busy fishing and archery shop has shaped his approach to competition and integrity. You’ll discover his candid take on drug tests, the absurdities of doping regulations, and how he navigates the complexities of insider support in a sport where everyone is just trying to get ahead even if it means bending the rules. Plus, he reveals behind-the-scenes insights into how testing costs and the industries support influences the sport’s future, making it clear why some believe the anti-doping process is certainly due for a rethink.
