Tim "Hammer" Gillingham

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Ryan Furrer Podcast. It's been a while. But this one was well worth the wait.

Tim Gillingham! What can I say!? They guy has been around Professional Archery for a long time. The last 20 years or longer Tim has been traveling the Country shooting his bow, working for arrow manufactures (Gold Tip) while constantly growing the sport of Archery.

He's what I would call a "grinder", pushing the limit of himself, his equipment, his peers, and even his sponsors. Ha! Yes, he's the type of guy who isn't afraid to have a difficult conversation with anyone. I like him.. He unapologetically says what's on his mind. If you like that in a person then boy, oh, boy is the episode for you.

We cover an array of topics: IBO, ASA, NFAA, Known yardage, unknown yardage, Tim's opinion (strong, ha!) of each. Draw length, weight, speed, his "command style" release etc.

And as soon as you thought you heard enough about target archery we start down a whole other rabbit hole talking about hunting. His set-up, my set-up, light arrows, heavy arrows, even Ranch Fairies, why I've been doing it all wrong (according to Tim) for 25 years. ( joking) And of course the only tried and true argument to be had this time of year amongst bowhunters, the GOAT of arguments- Mechanicals vs Fixed ( I mean, why not, right?) HA!

Honestly- This was one of my favorite episodes. It's loaded with great info, back and fourth banter for archer's and hunters alike.

I truly hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. As always, lets us know in the comments, or send me an email..

Enjoy!
