In this episode of Launch One, I sit down with Ethan Conway to talk high-level target archery, bowhunting, and the mental game that connects both. Ethan is a 2x Lancaster Archery Classic champion, 2x IBO Worlds Champ, and dedicated whitetail bowhunter from Pennsylvania. We break down the pressure difference between shooting on the Lancaster stage and drawing on a mature buck, how he trains for long indoor rounds, and what separates a 27X shooter from a true 30X round. We also get into practice volume, mental game, equipment preferences, let-off, stabilizer weight, and how Ethan approaches tournaments like Lancaster, Rushmore Rumble, and Vegas. If you’re serious about competitive archery or want to understand what elite-level consistency really looks like, this episode dives deep.
