Built, Tuned & Ready with Special Guest Brayden Henson

On this episode of The Dreaded Archer Podcast , Brayden Henson from Double H Outdoors joins me for a deep dive into the details that actually matter in bowhunting. We get into bow setups, strings, arrow builds, broadhead tuning, animal reaction time, bow speed vs forgiveness, sights, and the importance of putting in reps instead of constantly chasing new equipment. Brayden also breaks down why confidence in your setup matters more than hype, and why too many archers overcomplicate the process instead of mastering the fundamentals. We also discuss practicing at long range, ethical shot selection, and whether compound archery belongs in the Olympics. This episode is packed with real bowhunter talk, strong opinions, and practical insight for anyone looking to become more confident behind the string. At the end of the day, the gear matters, but the archer matters more.
