We Do This Too - Faith, Family, and Full Draw with William Alderman

In this powerful episode of We Do This Too Outdoors, host Courtney Williamson sits down with archer and outdoorsman William Alderman, whose passion for bowhunting and archery is matched only by his drive to represent a new face in the outdoor world. William shares how his journey began as a homeschooled kid in Florida, building makeshift bows from palm trees and shoelaces, before discovering his first real bow and diving deep into both the hunting and target archery scenes. From learning through trial and error to competing in ASA events, William opens up about the discipline, humility, and personal growth that come with the sport.Their conversation goes far beyond bows and arrows — it’s about faith, family, and finding your purpose outdoors. William reflects on the mental side of archery, the lessons it teaches about patience and perseverance, and what it means to be a Black outdoorsman breaking barriers in the hunting and archery community. Together, he and Courtney talk about the shared mission of showing the next generation that “we do this too” — that the outdoors is for everyone, and that real success isn’t about trophies but about balance, faith, and leaving a positive mark on the world.
