On this episode of Gritty Bowmen, we travel to Louisville Kentucky to attend the ATA trade show--ATA stands for Archery Trade Association. The ATA Trade Show is the archery and bowhunting industry\u2019s LARGEST show. The show is a member-driven event to promote commerce within the archery and bowhunting industry.

In today\u2019s podcast we visit with Eva Shockey. Eva\u2019s dad, Jim Shockey, is one of the most well-known hunters in the world. Today, Eva co-hosts "Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures" TV show and represents the Shockey family at outdoor trade and consumer shows.

Eva was a breathe of fresh air. She was easy to talk to, down to earth, and an excellent ambassador for hunting--challenging the stereotypical image of the knuckle-dragging, fist pumping, male hunter; Eva makes it difficult for those against hunting to claim that hunters are uneducated, heartless, animal-hating human beings. And for this, I thank her.

I hope you enjoy the show. \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0

And Let me leave you with another great quote from Theodore Roosevelt who said, \u201cIt behooves every man to reemember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.\u201d

We all have a choice--we can be people who do things or people who criticise the work of others. It\u2019s pretty simple really.. don\u2019t be jerk. And get out there and do your thing. \xa0

Good luck on your hunts. And Stay Gritty!
