-  Participate in a raffle where THOUSANDS of dollars of archery equipment such as new bows, quivers, sights, clothing, optics and a whole lot more will be given away?

-  Take your entire family on a weekend vacation at a World Class Summer resort?

We are sure you may have checked a few of those items off your list this summer, but BowCast would like for you to check them ALL off on August 1st and 2nd during "BowCast at The Bird" in Snowbird, UT.  On this episode, Anthony and Aneal talk about the course, the mountain logistics, the seminars, the guests, and all that will be a part of the biggest shoot of 2009 - BowCast at The Bird!

As a reminder, the pre-registration price has not been raised as originally advertised - it is still just $49.95 if you register by July 31st at www.BowCastAtTheBird.com . You can register the day of the event in Gad Valley at Snowbird for $69.95.  The product give-away bag that all attendees will receive has a retail value greater than the price of admission - it's the biggest no brainer in the history of archery 3D events!  We'll see you all there!

As the summer heat begins to peak, many of us have been dialing in our shooting form as well as our bow rigs.  Often this is the time of year where we begin the exercise of choosing and tuning our broadheads - which we all know is critical to our success in the fall.

On this episode, Anthony and Aneal discuss their choice in broadhead for 2009 - The EPEK XC-3.  To keep the discussion complete for all the listeners, BowCast has invited the owner and founder of EPEK broadheads Greg Robbins to join the broadhead banter.  Greg shares the story of EPEK broadheads, the research and development that has gone into these mechanicals, as well some of the testing that went into ensuring this new broadhead was ready for the new school archery hunter.  If you want to learn more about the design, aerodynamics, and devestation on impact needed to tip your arrows this fall - this episode is for you!

Range finders are nothing new to the bowhunter. We've used them for years, but the technology is really starting to push the envelope. A number of manufacturers are improving the optics, look and feel, durability, and price of the typical range finder. Add in features such as angle compensation, and it is easy to start getting "lost" in the price versus functionality decision. We at BowCast want to help you through some of the technical considerations of choosing a range finder.

Aneal and Anthony are joined on this episode by CJ Davis, PR Director for Nikon Sport Optics. While CJ does a ton to promote and market Nikon products to all of us hunters, it is surprising to learn that CJ is also involved with product development, field testing, and final production for Nikon optics. For those of you looking to learn how the guts of a range finder works as well as the questions you should be asking your local pro shop related to Range Finders, this episode covers the gamut. Included in the discussion:

1) How does a range finder work?

2) What are the effective ways to carry a range finder?

3) What is the price and functionality spectrum for a typical range finder?

4) What questions should you have answered before going to a store to purchase a new range finder?
