Halftime adjustments aren't just for strategy—sometimes they're for the gear! 🏹 This week, I’m putting down the modern compound and picking up my dad’s 1980s Hoyt Pro Vintage. It’s been 30 years since this bow took a deer. Can it still do it?
Check out the premiere tonight at 9pm EST: https://youtu.be/p8Go_UKKt64

Halftime is here! If you haven't filled your tag, don't panic. The deer's mindset is constant—survival—but the hunter pressure is dropping.
QUESTION: Which late season factor is most important?
Let's make that Halftime Adjustment together! https://youtu.be/4rr18ywnkLg
P.S. Stay warm out there! You can find the gear Matt talks about (hats, hoodies, etc.) in our brand new store: youtube.com/@UCMfdY_ERF83d4pKbakpIPVg/store

The last time this bow shot an arrow was 1994. Now, we give it a Second Life.
Join me on Sunday, December 7 at 9 PM EST as I start the process of restoring my dad's 1985 Hoyt Pro Advantage to take it back into the woods for one more hunt.
