Made in the USA! The Story of Dialed Archery | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 458

Made in the USA! The Story of Dialed Archery | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 458 Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik officially announce a shift in the Drury Outdoors gear list with the hard launch of their partnership with Dialed Archery. Joined by co-founder Scott Bakken, the crew discusses how the archery industry has become "monkey see, monkey do," often falling 5 to 6 years behind modern trends. Scott shares the story of starting the company during the uncertainty of 2020 to challenge archaic designs and deliver a product that truly benefits the end-user hunter. This deep dive focuses on the commitment to being 100% designed, manufactured, and built in the USA, ensuring that every component meets a standard of quality that mass-produced imports can't match. We break down the technical innovations that set Dialed apart, including the revolutionary angled elevation rail and the customizable Proof and Strike series. Whether you're a whitetail hunter looking for precision or an elk hunter needing multi-pin flexibility, this episode explains why the future of bowhunting is being built right here in America. 02:04 – Official Launch: The Drury Outdoors and Dialed Archery Partnership 06:20 – Shaking Up a "Dying Industry": The Need for Archery Innovation 10:30 – Building the Airplane in the Air: Dialed Archery's Covid Origins 16:40 – The Inside/Outside Tape System: Why Dual Sight Tapes Change the Game 22:45 – Precision Engineering: How the Angled Elevation Rail Sets Dialed Apart 26:50 – Fixed vs. Adjustable: Choosing the Right Site for Western or Whitetail 35:40 – The Multi-Indicator Needle: Maintaining Accuracy While Dialing 42:15 – Practice for the Kill: Why Flat-Plane Shooting Isn't Real Hunting Practice 47:50 – 100% Made in the USA: The Commitment to Domestic Manufacturing 52:43 – Quality Over Price: Why Dialed Won't Sacrifice USA Standards 58:40 – The 2026 Outlook: What the Future of Bowhunting Holds with Scott Bakken Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group : / n73gskjt7bfb2ngc Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...
