SFP vs FFP Rifle Scopes: Which One Is Right for Your Hunting Setup?
Trucker hats are live! Shop the most comfortable blaze orange hats and build some extra entries for the ARC!https://www.getdrawnwest.com/shopFirst focal plane vs. second focal plane scopes does not need to be complicated. The right choice comes down to how you hunt, how far you shoot, and whether you want a simple point-and-shoot setup or more options for dialing and precision. I break down how FFP and SFP reticles work, what changes as you adjust magnification, and how that affects holdovers, wind holds, and elevation adjustments. I also cover the scope features that actually matter when you are buying one: magnification, objective size, turrets, parallax, throw levers, and more. Whether you are setting up a rifle for Minnesota whitetails, Western mule deer and elk, deer drives, an AR, or a farm rifle, this will help you choose an optic that fits the way you actually hunt.What we cover in this episode:· FFP vs. SFP reticles and what changes when you zoom· When a simple SFP scope makes the most sense for whitetails and known-distance hunting· Why I prefer FFP for dialing, wind holds, long-range practice, and Western hunting· 200-yard zeros, MOA, holdovers, and when dialing is the better move· Choosing the right magnification range, from 3–12x hunting scopes to 1–10x LPVOs· Objective lens size, low-light performance, and the scope features worth paying for· When an LPVO makes sense for deer drives, ARs, close-range hunting, and varmint riflesI use Maven scopes as examples because they are what I have in the studio, but these same FFP vs. SFP principles apply across almost every optics brand.If this helps you choose your next rifle scope, subscribe to the Drawn West Podcast, leave a rating and review, and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram.

Drawn West Apparel Is Here: 8 Hunting Shirts and Hoodies With a Story Behind Them
Most hunting merch is a logo slapped on a shirt nobody actually wants to wear. I didn't want to do that. After months of sketching, the first Drawn West apparel line is live: eight shirts and hoodies built around real hunting stories, inside jokes, and a few statement pieces meant to start a conversation at the airport, at deer camp, or at the trailhead.I go piece by piece through the launch lineup. That includes the OG Hoodie and OG Tee, the Classic Hoodie, the One Country topo shirt with a bugling bull set into the map where I shot my first elk, the Speed Goat pronghorn on a Drawn West chopper, the Spoon & Crockpot Buck, and the 98% Non-Res Plate. I also get into why resident vs non-resident tension out West matters to me, why hunting is more than a score, and how we chose blanks, fit, and halftone DTF printing so the shirts feel good to wear. Then I explain exactly how apparel entries work in the Mathews ARC giveaway, and why it's statistically impossible to buy your way to the bow.No purchase is necessary to enter or win the Mathews ARC giveaway. If you like what we're building, subscribe to the podcast, leave a rating and review, and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram. You can check out the apparel at getdrawnwest.com/shop, and you can enter the giveaway at getdrawnwest.com/giveaway and enter this episode’s code word for 50 bonus entries!

Why Bare Shaft Tuning Matters the Most, Yet Nobody Does It
GIVEAWAY: $4000 Mathews Arc Pacakge! Enter Now: https://www.getdrawnwest.com/giveawaysEver wonder why almost nobody in bowhunting content talks about bare shaft tuning — even though it might matter more than any broadhead you'll ever buy? I sat down with Troy Fowler, better known as Ranch Fairy, who's been in on hundreds of archery kills on hogs and whitetail and has helped test broadhead terminal ballistics on Cape Buffalo. We get into why bare shaft tuning gets skipped by almost everyone, why mechanical broadheads lose their cutting edge on impact, and why mass — not speed — is what actually breaks bone.We walk through the real difference between single bevel and mechanical broadheads, how much arrow weight you need before a broadhead can call itself a "bone breaker," and why blood trail distance comes down to shot placement more than broadhead choice. Troy also breaks down lessons from Ed Ashby's terminal ballistics research, including why a blunter, single-bevel design outperformed sharper designs on Cape Buffalo. There's a bonus code word in this episode worth 50 giveaway entries for the Mathews ARC giveaway.What we cover in this episode:· Why bare shaft tuning is the one step nobody talks about, and why Troy himself still avoids it on his own arrows.· Single bevel vs. mechanical broadheads — why mechanical blades take on damage the instant they deploy into hide, hair, and bone.· Why you need 600+ grains of arrow mass before a "bone breaking" broadhead actually breaks bone· The vital V approach for shortening blood trails in thick cover, and why aiming close to the crease matters more than broadhead choice· What Ed Ashby's Cape Buffalo terminal ballistics testing revealed about broadhead shape, penetration, and pass-through rates.· Why time-of-flight at 60 yards is roughly equivalent to a 600-yard rifle shot, and why that changes ethical shot distance.If this helps you rethink your arrow setup, subscribe to the podcast, leave a rating and review, and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram.

The Year of Suppressors: Buying, Trusts, and Hunting With Brandon Maddox of Silencer Central
Win our $4000 Mathews ARC Package:https://www.getdrawnwest.com/giveawaysIn this episode, Brian sits down with Brandon Maddox, founder of Silencer Central and creator of the Banish suppressor line, to unpack why 2026 is being called "the year of suppressors." Brandon has been in the industry since 2005 and breaks down what's actually driving the surge, how to judge suppressor quality when brands are popping up overnight, and why trusts still matter even after the tax stamp changed. He also gets into the real differences between titanium and aluminum cans, and what changes for hunters once they take the earplugs out in the field.Highlights:· Why 2026 is being called "the year of suppressors"· How to judge whether a suppressor is actually good quality, regardless of brand· What an NFA gun trust does, and whether you even need one· The real history of why trusts became popular (it's not what you'd guess)· Titanium vs. aluminum: what actually matters long term· What getting a barrel threaded for a suppressor looks like, start to finish· The real hunting benefits: sound, recoil, and tracking your shot placement If you've ever wondered why suppressors are suddenly everywhere, or you're weighing whether one is worth the paperwork, hit play. And don't forget — our Mathews ARC bow giveaway is live at drawnwest.com/giveaway, with a bonus code word dropped later in this episode for 50 extra entries.

The Maven Built Difference: Why These Optics Feel Better Than the Rest
Ever pick up a pair of binoculars and feel like you're fighting it — a focus dial that's stuck or floppy, glass that gives you a headache after an hour? That's the opposite of what I noticed the first time I looked through a pair of Mavens. Everything just feels like it's in the right spot doing the job it was meant to do. So I got Craig and Jordan from Maven Built Optics on the podcast to explain why.We get into the engineering and the "secret sauce" — the magnesium chassis, the knurling, why the focus dial is smooth but not loose, and how every optic that leaves Lander, Wyoming has been inspected by a real set of human hands. Plus how to pick between 8x, 10x, 12x, and 15x binos; why Maven's B2 is 11x45 instead of 10x42; and how the S3 spotting scope's interchangeable reticle eyepiece can tell you if a moose is legal before you pull the trigger. Then the origin story, the demo program, the new RS6 LPVO, and a code word worth 50 giveaway entries.What we cover in this episode:• Why Maven optics feel different — materials, tolerances, and edge-to-edge clarity• How to choose 8x, 10x, 12x, or 15x binos for treestand, timber, or western glassing• Why the B2 is 11x45 instead of the standard 10x42 (abakonic prism, light gathering)• The S3 spotting scope and its interchangeable reticle eyepieces (MOA and MIL)• How to measure a legal 50-inch moose at distance with a reticle and rangefinder• Maven's direct-to-consumer origin story and the try-before-you-buy demo program• The new RS6 1–10x LPVO: locking turret, toolless zero, 34mm tube• What's next from Maven — plus this episode's code word for 50 giveaway entriesIf this helps you sort your next optics purchase, subscribe, leave a rating and review, and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram.

Mathews ARC vs Lift X: My Honest Review + the $4,000 ARC Giveaway
Want to know if the new Mathews ARC is actually worth the upgrade over the Lift X? I shot both, carried both in the field, and I'm breaking down exactly what changed — the good, the small, and the stuff that probably isn't worth buying a new bow for. Plus, I'm giving away a fully custom Mathews ARC and over $4,000 in accessories in the biggest giveaway Drawn West has ever run.I walk through my full 2026 bow build on the ARC 34, from the SWX Z comfort mods and integrated Silent Connect System to my stabilizer setup. Then I get into the arrow change I've been avoiding for a decade — moving off my trusty Black Eagle Deep Impacts to the X Impacts in a 200 spine, switching from right-hand to left-hand helical fletching, and dropping my broadhead weight from 200 grains to 125. There's a bonus code word in this episode worth 50 giveaway entries, so listen for it.What we cover in this episode:Mathews ARC vs Lift X vs my old Halon — what actually feels different at full draw and on the shot break.The ARC features worth caring about: past-parallel cams, integrated SCS bow hoist, 7-degree angled stabilizer mount, and SWX Z comfort mods at 82 pounds.Why I went with the 34" axle-to-axle and whether the longer bow is a problem in ground blinds, treestands, and saddles.The full giveaway prize list: Dialed Proof slider sight, QAD IMX2 rest, Black Eagle arrows, custom wraps, VPA broadheads, Mod Saw cutter, Big Shot 24" target, Anchor Point bow holder, Conquest 3K carbon stabilizers, and a bonus Matthews Low Pro quiver.How the new app-based giveaway works — email and phone entry, live winner announcement, ~6-week run, bonus entries for follows, ratings, and referrals.My arrow overhaul: Black Eagle X Impacts in 200 spine, Bitzenburger jig, DCA Super Sabre fletchings at 2-degree left-hand helical, and left-hand bevel VPA Omega broadheads.Why I'm dropping to 125-grain broadheads this year and targeting a ~525-grain finished arrow for whitetails and black bear.This episode's bonus code word for 50 giveaway entries.If this breakdown helps you decide on your bow or arrow setup this year, subscribe to the podcast, leave a rating and review, and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram so you don't miss the rest of the build series.

First Time Bear Baiting: The Strategy We're Running This Fall
Ever wonder what it actually takes to pull a big bear into bow range, or how a guy with an old TV and a pull-up bar racked up 17 million views? This episode answers both. I sit down with Jared Lewis, the archer behind that viral saddle-hunting stunt, to break down his content approach and then dig deep into real bear baiting tactics ahead of fall season.We cover how Jared built a following posting hilarious, high-risk archery content, then shift into the meat of the episode: scent strategy for pulling bears into a bait site, barrel setup, bullet and broadhead selection, and where to actually aim on a bear so you don't lose a blood trail in the swamp. If you're weighing whether to run a bait station this season, or just want to laugh at a guy shooting a TV while hanging from a saddle, this one delivers both.What we cover in this episode:• The real story behind Jared's viral 17-million-view "shoot the TV" archery video and why the stunt worked• How Jared went from zero to over 30 million monthly views across Instagram and Facebook in just a few months of intentional posting• Why scent, not bait itself, is what actually draws bears in from a distance, and how raccoons and squirrels help spread it• Bait barrel setup: plastic vs. metal, hole placement, vertical vs. horizontal mounting, and what holds up to a determined bear• Rifle bullet selection (45-70 with a 300-grain Barnes copper bullet) versus bow broadheads (expandable hybrids and VPA single-bevels) for bear• Why bear shot placement is different from deer, and how to avoid a lost blood trail when their wound channels clog with fat• Balancing a bear bait station with whitetail season on the same propertyIf this one gets you fired up for bear season, subscribe to the podcast and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram so you don't miss part two, the bear season recap.Check out more of Jared’s Content at:https://www.instagram.com/thejaredlewis_/Sign Up for the Monthly Reveal Giveaway & Claim Bonus points:https://www.getdrawnwest.com/revealStay Ahead of Hunting Season with the Drawn West Newsletter.Get practical emails on deadlines, draw strategy, new episodes, and giveawayupdates.Join Here: https://www.getdrawnwest.com/newsletterLooking for more content from Drawn West?
