Show Notes
Today Dan Staton sits down with Cody from Dark Owl Archery to break down the brand-new sight he’s bringing to market in Spring 2026 — a true crossover built to bridge the gap between target precision and real-world bowhunting durability.
If you’ve ever felt stuck choosing between a tournament-style sight and a rugged hunting setup, this design aims to give you the best of both worlds.
Beyond the gear talk, the guys swap stories from the field — including Newfoundland moose hunts — and dive into the questions every hunter should be asking before booking their next big adventure. From equipment confidence to hunt planning, this episode is packed with practical insight and hard-earned experience.
