The Bowhunter Podcast

On this episode of the Bow Hunter Podcast, host Christian Berg sits down with world champion archer and passionate bowhunter Paige Pearce for a deep dive into the mental side of archery and bowhunting.

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that changed our nation forever. For New Jersey bowhunter Will Jimeno — a former New York Port Authority police officer and one of fewer than 20 people to be rescued from the World Trade Center rubble — it is an opportunity to honor of the memory of fellow officers who didn't make it out alive and reflect on the important role his love of bowhunting played in his physical, mental and emotional recovery from those 13 horrifying hours he spent trapped below 30 feet of concrete and steel. Jimenez, a longtime friend of Bowhunter and one of the inspirations for the film World Trade Center, retells his harrowing story and his never-ending mission to honor the legacy of those who lost their lives that day.

Spring means sheds and turkeys! The Bowhunter Podcast crew breaks down shed timing, scouting strategies, and aggressive turkey tactics—including run-and-gun bowhunting and decoy setups. Learn how spring scouting sets you up for fall success.

Many bowhunters will tell you they never feel more free than when they are afield with a bow in hand. But for guests at Camp Freedom, that is true on many levels. Matt Guedes, Camp Freedom's executive director, joins us to discuss how the nonprofit organization uses archery and bowhunting to aid the healing process of thousands of military veterans, first responders and their families.

You could say that Bowhunter TV co-host Danny Farris is lucky. But the truth is, persistence is the real key to his success. After a quarter century of applying for bighorn sheep tag in his home state of Colorado, Farris finally drew the once-in-a-lifetime license in 2025, taking a massive, trophy-class ram during his December hunt. Farris recounts a quarter century of patient waiting, followed by an intense four days in the mountains that culminated with a perfect shot at a range of just 25 yards.
