PC 364 - An EXPERT in BOW DESIGN & DIY STRATEGY

About this episode

Dan’l Anselmo discusses bow design, DIY hunting strategies, and insights into hunting big game.

I sit down Dan’l Anselmo who is an expert in Bow Design & DIY hunting. He is a lead R&D engineer for 21 yrs and has seen some of the best evolutions in archery gear. He’s been part of projects specializing in Limbs, Cams, Risers and materials. Dan’l is a 3rd generation DIY hunter who has a healthy resume of Big Elk & Massive Mule Deer. I’ve known Dan’l since his first year at Hoyt and have a tremendous amount of respect for his deep understanding of the mechanics of the compound bow. We jump into subjects that I feel aren’t discussed enough about the “why” of certain design characteristics and gear choices. We also jump into some of his tactics of hunting the west during the opening weeks. He has some great information that he shares about tagging big deer that’s handed down to him from the yoda Randy Ulmer.
