TOTAL ARCHERY CHALLENGE 2020

Thank you to everyone who took the time to say hello in Montana and Utah at Total Archery Challenge!

I was so fired up to see how the novels are resonating with the archery and bow hunting communities, especially since SAVAGE SON is an archery centric thriller where I use the meditative and therapeutic benefits of archery for veterans to help propel the storyline.

Total Archery Challenge is a three-day event held at multiple venues across the country.  Each event has several courses with over 100 3D targets positioned in terrain that challenges shooters to adjust for distances, angles, and natural obstacles.

In Montana, I kicked off the day early on the NockOn/Sitka Gear course with John Dudley, Jocko Willink, Josh Hall, and photographers from PSE Archery. Dudley got me dialed back in after being off the bow for a while concentrating on my fourth novel in the James Reece saga, THE DEVIL’S HAND.   We all finished strong, hitting a target moose at 118 yards.

Later we did a Black Rifle Coffee Company team shoot on the Yeti Course with friends Evan Hafer, Logan Stark, Heather Lynn, Trevor Thompson, and Cole Kramer.

The gear I used in the SEAL Teams and continue to use today is crucial for developing characters in my novels. With this in mind, I spent a lot of time at basecamp on my last day checking out companies like Matrix Targets, Burch Barrel, Canvas Cutter, Kifaru packs, and the Public Lands Bus.

I also had the honor of being a part of the Black Rifle Coffee Company Veteran Adaptive Athlete Archery Shoot at Snowbasin Resort in Utah. It was inspiring to be in the presence of true warriors who have persevered through injuries that would have killed most of us. I think about these heroes every day, what they sacrificed, and how they continue to inspire all of us with their attitude, resilience, courage, drive, determination, and indomitable spirit.
