#425 - The Biggest Lie The Archery Industry Tells You with Travis T-Bone Turner
About this episode
In this episode, Jake Hofer interviews Travis T-Bone Turner about misconceptions in the archery industry and effective whitetail hunting tactics.
Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back on the road in Georgia with Travis "T-Bone" Turner of Bone Collector. We Discuss: Confidence with your bow setup comes from accuracy, not chasing raw speed. Spend real money on your rest and release — everything else is negotiable. A 450-520 grain arrow with 14-18% FOC is the sweet spot for whitetails. Fixed blades test your form; mechanicals forgive small mistakes at the target. Index every broadhead to the same clone so accuracy stays consistent. IBO speed ratings rarely match what you'll actually shoot in the field. A three-blade mechanical still cuts even if a blade fails to open. Crossbows are a legitimate gateway into compound archery, not a threat. Scouting matters less than adapting fast on unfamiliar hunting ground. The best whitetail setups trade a little speed for real-world forgiveness. And So Much More!
