About this episode
SUBSCRIBE: iTunes / RSS / Stitcher / Podbean / Android On this episode of Gritty Bowmen, we travel to Louisville Kentucky to attend the ATA trade show--ATA stands for Archery Trade Association. The ATA Trade Show is the archery and bowhunting industry's LARGEST show. The show is a member-driven event to promote commerce within the archery and bowhunting industry. In today's podcast we visit with Eva Shockey. Eva's dad, Jim Shockey, is one of the most well-known hunters in the world. Today, Eva co-hosts " Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures " TV show and represents the Shockey family at outdoor trade and consumer shows. Eva was a breathe of fresh air. She was easy to talk to, down to earth, and an excellent ambassador for hunting--challenging the stereotypical image of the knuckle-dragging, fist pumping, male hunter; Eva makes it difficult for those against hunting to claim that hunters are uneducated, heartless, animal-hating human beings. And for this, I thank her. I hope you enjoy the show. ______________________________________________________________ Alright friends, thank you for supporting the show.

And Let me leave you with another great quote from Theodore Roosevelt who said, "It behooves every man to reemember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things." We all have a choice--we can be people who do things or people who criticise the work of others. It's pretty simple really.. don't be jerk. And get out there and do your thing. Good luck on your hunts. And Stay Gritty!
