It’s a very special bowhunting show this week on Outdoor Magazine Television.

First, I pick up a Darton Lightning Crossbow and head to the field for the early Michigan turkey season. This is my first time hunting with that high tech piece of archery gear.

Then, we switch gears and go back to the roots of modern day archery, and an interview I did with the legendary Fred Bear back in 1985.

In that conversation Fred talks about his experiences bowhunting across the world, the beginning of Bear archery and the comparison of gun hunting vs. bowhunting.

You won’t want to miss this edition of Outdoor Magazine television. You can see the program on broadcast stations across Michigan and nationally on Sportsman Channel.

Air times on Sportsman are Sunday 9PM, Thursday 7PM, Saturday 7:30AM, Wednesday 8:30AM and Friday morning at 1AM.
