I met Rya through my buddy Cory Miller of Black Eagle Arrows - he told me about this crazy girl on TikTok who's really getting into archery with the goal of elk hunting with a bow in 2025. Our schedules lined up and she came over to do the podcast. Rya goes 100mph and has a new found love in archery, plus she really sounds good with elk calls. She's planning his first archery elk hunt this coming fall and we get to know more about her journey.
