210 BRANDON BATES - Breadcrumb, Bluetooth Nocks & PBR, RMEF Team Elk

Published: July 29, 2017, 9 a.m.

You most probably have seen the video.  You know, the one with the bluetooth trackable nock? The invention featured in this video leaves you saying "Why didn't I think of that"? Brandon Bates, the arena voice of the Professional Bull Riders and host of RMEF Team Elk on the Outdoor Channel, is also co-owner of Breadcrumb, the company behind the bluetooth trackable nock technology.  It takes more than a good idea to bring a product to market. It takes money, patience, time and a good plan. Brandon, who says he prefers to stay out of the spotlight,  is a television show host, PBR arena announcer, has spent many hours hunting the west with the likes of Cam Hanes, but is also an adventurous entrepreneur,  hardcore hunter and die-hard conservationist. Brandon shares his story.
