Bow Kills, Brisket Skills: Jocko Willink & John Dudley on the Ol' Boy Podcast

In the heart of the archery world, two names stand out for their dedication and passion for the sport: Jocko Willink and John Dudley. These guys have embraced the archery challenge and become synonymous with the pursuit of excellence in their respective fields.

Jocko Willink, a retired naval officer and a highly respected leadership consultant, was drawn to the discipline and mental toughness required in archery. He is known for his intense focus and determination, which have served him well both in the military and as an archer. Through his public speaking and bestselling books, Jocko encourages others to push their limits and strive for greatness, a message that resonates deeply within the archery community.

John Dudley, on the other hand, is a world-class archer and bowhunting expert. His technical proficiency and wealth of knowledge have positioned him as an authority in the field. He has dedicated his life to mastering the bow and arrow, endlessly working to refine his technique and share his insights with others.

Together, these two titans of archery have been drawn to the Total Archer Challenge, an event that has raised the bar for archers and bowhunters alike. At the core of this event are Sean and Monica Degray, event specialists who have transformed a once-a-year local shoot into an epic challenge that archers eagerly anticipate. The Degray's expertise in marathon-type events has created an unparalleled archery experience that simulates the extreme conditions Wasatch hunters face.

This formidable event presents distances double that of standard competitions, destroying arrows and challenging participants to minimize this destruction with each passing year. In this crucible, Jocko and John, along with countless others, test their skills, temper their resolve, and indulge in the pure adrenaline of pushing their archery abilities to the limit.
