On this Monday Minute episode, Steve & Mark answer your listener questions. Today's topics include "Pro Staff" vs everyday hunters, and the value of influencers for Exo Mtn Gear. A listener asks about the true cost of hunting gear, and what to do when it feels like good gear is out of reach. One bowhunter asks about bow sight setup, how many pins are ideal, and is there any reason to shoot your bow at 85-yards (or further).

As a brand new hunter, Zoe has a great perspective to share. In the weeks and months leading up to her hunt, she had some amazing opportunities to gain first-hand experience. We talk about that, as well as how her hunt went, what she learned, and what she sees as the future of her hunting journey. Whether you are a new or experienced hunter, there is something for you to take away from this conversation with Zoe.
