Archery Talk 101 Podcast #253: Roy Canterbury sits down with Tanner Blanks of Four Arrows, a bowhunter from Southern Virginia. Tanner is a dad of four who juggles hunting, family and work, and he's learning to work on his own bow instead of relying on the shop.
In this episode:
- How Tanner got into archery through his uncle, from a Hoyt SuperTech to Prime bows, and making your own strings
- Bow presses, draw boards, cam timing and why swapping let-off mods can throw your timing off
- Paper tuning vs. grouping broadheads, and keeping your shots inside the range you can consistently hit
- A tough early-season hunt on North Carolina public land, a tracking story, and why lighted nocks are back in the quiver
- Broadheads and arrows: fixed blade vs. expandables, guillotine heads for turkey, reflective arrow wraps, and heavy vs. light arrows
- Hunting from the ground with a ghillie suit and how to keep the bow from catching it
- A 163-inch muzzleloader buck and the dry-fire that almost cost him
- 3D shoots, including Big Oaks Archery Club and the R100 Safari course with giraffes, elephants and dinosaur targets
- Taking the kids hunting and into archery, plus cooking and processing venison
- Filming hunts and making content: Insta360, GoPro, DaVinci Resolve, and short-form vs. long-form video
Whether you're a new archer or a seasoned bowhunter, there's something here for you. Archery Talk 101 is an unscripted conversation about archery, hunting and whatever else comes up.
