Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back on the road in Georgia with Travis "T-Bone" Turner of Bone Collector.

We Discuss:

  • Confidence with your bow setup comes from accuracy, not chasing raw speed.
  • Spend real money on your rest and release — everything else is negotiable.
  • A 450-520 grain arrow with 14-18% FOC is the sweet spot for whitetails.
  • Fixed blades test your form; mechanicals forgive small mistakes at the target.
  • Index every broadhead to the same clone so accuracy stays consistent.
  • IBO speed ratings rarely match what you'll actually shoot in the field.
  • A three-blade mechanical still cuts even if a blade fails to open.
  • Crossbows are a legitimate gateway into compound archery, not a threat.
  • Scouting matters less than adapting fast on unfamiliar hunting ground.
  • The best whitetail setups trade a little speed for real-world forgiveness.
