In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m getting real about something we all deal with—life being busy and never feeling fully “ready.” Between work, family, shooting, and preparing for the first PA ASA shoot of the season, it’s been one of those stretches where everything stacks up at once. But the truth is, that perfect window we’re all waiting for? It never really comes. This episode dives into the mindset shift that’s helped me lately—moving from “I have to” to “I get to,” and learning how to show up anyway, even when things aren’t perfect. I also break down how preparation plays a huge role in building confidence, from dialing in small details like arrow builds with Addictive Archery Co to getting my truck system organized with the ANKOR Point. These aren’t just gear upgrades—they’re ways to remove stress, stay focused, and trust your process when it’s time to perform. Whether you’re heading into a shoot, gearing up for the season, or just trying to balance everything life throws at you, this episode is all about perspective, preparation, and showing up ready anyway.

In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down a recent weekend behind the bow where the focus wasn’t on building or changing anything but simply verifying. From dialing in sight tapes and confirming long-range accuracy to seeing just how precise the Precision Cut Archery program really is, this episode is all about removing guesswork and building real confidence in your setup. Because at this point in the season, it’s not about chasing perfection it’s about confirming what’s already there. I also dive into mistakes I’ve made in the past like over-adjusting and not verifying at distance and how those habits can quietly kill your confidence when it matters most. We talk about what it actually means to trust your setup, your process, and your execution, whether you’re preparing for TAC, ASA, or the whitetail woods. If you’ve ever questioned your gear or found yourself second-guessing a shot, this episode will help you simplify your approach, build confidence through confirmation, and step into the season ready to execute.

On this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down my current bow setups and how I’ve built each one with a specific purpose in mind. With ASA season kicking off and TAC right around the corner, this is the time of year where everything starts to matter—your reps, your confidence, and the equipment in your hands. I dive into my ARC 34, which is my dedicated target and ASA rig, and why I’ve built it around stability, control, and repeatability when precision is the priority. I also walk through my ARC 30 setup, which is my go-to for TAC and hunting—built for adaptability, real-world scenarios, and executing shots when things aren’t perfect. From tuning insights to arrow builds and the mental shift between tournament shooting and hunting situations, this episode is all about understanding the “why” behind each setup. If you’re looking to dial in your gear with intention and build confidence heading into the season, this one’s for you.

On this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Jared Shaffer from Tethrd for a conversation that goes far beyond gear and mobile setups. This is a deep dive into woodsmanship — what it actually means in 2026, and why it still separates consistent killers from the rest of the crowd. Jared and I unpack the difference between being aggressive and being reckless, especially in today’s mobile hunting culture. We talk about how to read sign with intention, when not to move, and why discipline often beats constant action. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing patience and pressure in the woods, this conversation hits home. We also zoom out and dig into Jared’s personal hunting philosophy — how he plans a hunt, what guides his decisions, and the subtle habits that give him an edge season after season. From mid-season adjustments to handling doubt and slow stretches, this episode is about sharpening your thinking, not just your setup. If March is about resetting, reflecting, and refining your approach before the next season begins, this episode sets the tone. Hunt smarter. Not louder.  So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up! www.tethrdnation.com www.huntworthgear.com www.sportsmensempire.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Craftsmanship isn’t loud, it’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time. On Episode 308 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Craig Francis of ULTRAVIEW Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond products and releases. Craig helps shape how the brand shows up in the archery space, but more importantly, he’s thinking about standards, responsibility, and how you build trust in an industry that’s crowded with noise. We talk about craftsmanship as a mindset, how personal growth is often built through mistakes and experience, and why transparency and hunting ethics still matter when it would be easier to stay quiet. We also dig into what it really looks like to build and protect a brand behind the scenes. Craig shares the thinking behind ULTRAVIEW’s commitment to USA-made manufacturing, the realities people don’t see in product development, and why continuous improvement is baked into how they design and refine their gear. From the importance of storytelling in the hunting community to advocating for the future of the hunting industry itself, this episode is a reminder that how we build things — and how we represent this space — matters. This isn’t a product episode. It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, stewardship, and doing things the right way — in business, in the woods, and in life.

Craftsmanship isn’t loud. It’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time. On Episode 307 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Daniel Parker from Mathews Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond gear and specs. Daniel works on the front lines at Mathews, spending his days talking with hunters, dealers, and archers—hearing what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters once the season is over. We dive into what separates a truly great brand from the rest: attention to detail, responsibility to the hunter, and the discipline to protect core values in an industry that’s constantly evolving. Daniel shares insights from inside Mathews, how real-world hunting feedback shapes the conversations he has every day, and why craftsmanship still matters when trends come and go. We also talk about the things hunters tend to overthink—and the things they don’t think enough about—when it comes to practice, consistency, and execution under pressure. From lessons learned in the field to patterns Daniel hears season after season, this episode is about understanding the why behind the gear, not just the gear itself. This isn’t a product episode. It’s a conversation about mindset, responsibility, and doing things the right way—whether you’re building bows, chasing deer, or sharpening your shot process. If you care about becoming a better hunter, a better archer, and doing things with intention, Episode 307 is for you.

In Episode 306 of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore sits down with Dr. Nick Bechtold of MTNTOUGH and Movement Physio for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be prepared as a hunter. This episode goes beyond workouts and routines, diving into the role physical readiness plays in mental resilience, confidence, and performance when it matters most. Drawing from his experience training hunters, military personnel, and first responders—as well as his hands-on work in physical therapy—Dr. Bechtold breaks down why consistent, intentional training is essential for longevity in the field. Together, Jeremy and Nick explore how physical preparedness sharpens decision-making under fatigue, builds mental toughness, and helps hunters show up capable rather than merely hopeful. Listeners will walk away with practical guidance on integrating smart, sustainable training into busy lives, along with a renewed perspective on preparation, mindset, and accountability. Whether you’re chasing whitetails close to home or pushing deep into the mountains, this episode will challenge you to elevate both your body and your approach to the hunt.

Episode 303 of the Antler Up Podcast features a conversation with Nate Sellers of Average Jack Archery, diving into the lessons learned through seasons of hunting, consistent archery practice, and mental resilience. Together, we unpack how indoor archery leagues and regular reps play a major role in outdoor success, and why practice matters more than perfect conditions. Nate shares insights on understanding deer behavior, managing stress in high-pressure moments, and the importance of quickly recovering from bad shots—because one mistake doesn’t have to define a hunt or a season. We also discuss the value of the archery community and competition, from welcoming local leagues to the role they play in building confidence, skills, and long-term improvement. Nate explains how getting out of your comfort zone, engaging with others, and focusing on action over overanalyzing gear can transform both your shooting and your mindset. This episode is a reminder that growth comes from consistency, reflection, and embracing failure as part of the process—making Episode 303 a must-listen for bowhunters and archers looking to sharpen their mental game and continue getting better year after year.

In Episode 302 of the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Troy Smith — a husband, father, teacher, and coach who understands what real leadership looks like both in and out of the woods. Troy and I go back to our days coaching varsity baseball against each other, and this conversation goes well beyond hunting. We dive into leadership through coaching and teaching, the responsibility of setting standards for young athletes, and how those same principles carry over into family life and the outdoors. We also talk about raising kids in the outdoors, the discipline that comes from fitness and consistency, and what it means to define success in this season of life. Troy shares how hunting has helped shape his approach as a father and mentor, and why bringing his family into the woods has become such an important part of who he is. This episode is honest, grounded, and full of takeaways for anyone trying to balance family, work, and personal growth while still chasing what matters.

This week, Jeremy sits down for a reflective and honest solo episode to close out the 2024 season and open the door to what’s coming in 2025. He talks about learning patience, becoming more of a weekend warrior as family priorities shift, and why this season — despite fewer big-buck encounters — helped him grow more than he expected. Jeremy shares the full story of his rut encounter, the missed shot that ignited a 2018-level fire inside him, and the second-day rifle tradition with his buddy Jim that reminded him why hunting is so much more than antlers and grip-and-grins. He also opens up about areas he wants to improve, how he plans to attack the offseason, and what listeners can expect from the completely revamped Antler Up Podcast starting in January. This is a raw, grounded, and motivating look at the season — and a preview of what’s ahead.

Episode 300 couldn’t have been recorded anywhere else but AU Deer Camp, surrounded by the people who’ve shaped this journey. In this milestone episode, Jeremy sits down with Josh Hobson, Tim Sisock, and Jim D’Agostino—and for the first time, brings Josh’s boys, Bryce and Reid, into the conversation. It’s Saturday night of Pennsylvania’s opening weekend of rifle season, and camp is buzzing: Reid tagged a buck, Jim filled a doe tag, and everyone’s riding the high, retelling how the day unfolded. From chaotic morning mishaps (including rappel-downs, stuck haul ropes, and lost energy drinks) to the thrill of deer moving through frosty timber, the crew shares an unfiltered breakdown of Day 1 at camp and the year of hunting that led to this weekend. This episode goes deep into what makes deer camp special: the stories from past seasons, the growth each guy experienced this year, and the evolving traditions that now include the next generation. Jeremy, Tim, Josh, and Jim reflect on weird deer patterns, odd rut timing, tough lessons, missed opportunities, hard-earned successes, and how life, work, and family shaped their time in the woods. The kids bring fresh energy—talking bowhunting, rifle excitement, their favorite moments, and the pure, electric adrenaline of watching deer walk in. With laughs, self-deprecation, heartfelt gratitude, gear talk, future plans, and the undeniable magic of a camp full of hunters, Episode 300 captures exactly what Antler Up has always been about: family, friendship, growth, hunting stories, and digging deeper into why we love being out there together.

This week we’re rolling out another Flashback Episode, just like last week — and this one goes back to Episode 149, originally released on November 30, 2022. In this conversation, Jeremy sits down with good friend and longtime contributor Aaron Hepler to answer a question every hunter eventually faces: “The season’s over… now what?” Aaron breaks down why the weeks immediately after the season can be some of the most valuable for evaluating your year, tightening up your systems, and planning how to become a better whitetail hunter moving forward. From gear organization to reviewing trail-cam data to the mental side of closing the chapter on a long season, this episode gives you a roadmap to make the most of the offseason instead of drifting through it. Jeremy and Aaron also dig into honest reflections from their own seasons — what worked, what didn’t, and how those lessons shape their approach for the following year. Whether you're coming off a high or wrestling with frustration, this episode will help you reset your mindset, take control of your preparation, and set yourself up for future success. If you want practical steps, thoughtful discussion, and a push to stay intentional long after the final sit, this Flashback Episode is absolutely worth revisiting.
