Podcast: TradTech director John Wert
John Wert is a nearly-lifelong traditional archer and the director of TradTech Archery. He'd rather hunt and target shoot with a stick and string than any other weapon, and is well-known around the country as an expert in setting up traditional bows.To help mark the 10th anniversary of TradTech - a division of Lancaster Archery Supply - Wert sat down with LAS podcast host P.J. Reilly to discuss the allure of traditional archery.In this podcast, you will learn:- How Wert got involved in traditional archery, and how he came to TradTech Archery in 2010.- What a traditional archery rendezvous is all about.- What role TradTech archery plays in the world of traditional archery, and what's new from TradTech in 2017.- How the YouTube film "The Push" is garnering a lot of attention for traditional archery today.- That traditional archers march to their own drum, and have their own unique look."You can walk around with a dead coyote on your head, a 14-inch Bowie knife, no shoes and no shirt and nobody will give you a second look," Wert said. "But you wear a shooter jersey...and the music screeches to a halt as soon as you walk in the door."If you have any questions or comments for Lancaster Archery about this podcast, please email us at podcast@lancasterarchery.com.
