Will Alterson #1 - Beyond The Chase

In this episode of Launch One, I sit down with Will Alterson to talk bowhunting across the country, target archery at a high level, and how the two worlds feed into each other. We cover Will’s season chasing turkeys, whitetails, bears, mule deer, and elk, plus how growing up hunting big woods in New York shaped his approach to wind, terrain, and patience. Will breaks down his transition into competitive archery, shooting Lancaster and Vegas, battling target panic, and building a shot process without a formal coach. We also get into bow setups, practice routines, saddle hunting, and what it takes to balance serious competition with real-world hunting. If you’re into bowhunting, indoor archery, or the mental side of shooting under pressure, this episode connects it all.
