Improve Your Accuracy With a Traditional Bow with Tom Clum
Season 1 Episode 160
In this episode of Becoming a Bowhunter, Matty sits down with Tom Clum Sr., a lifelong bowhunter and founder of RMS Gear, to talk all things traditional archery, effective shot execution, and making clean kills with a trad bow.
Tom has coached hundreds of archers through form issues, target panic, and inconsistent results. This episode cuts through the noise and gets straight to the stuff that actually makes you a better archer and bowhunter.
They talk about how to practice with purpose, what really matters in high-pressure moments, and how Tom uses coaching and failure as a platform for growth. Whether you shoot compound, trad, or something in between, you’ll walk away from this one with plenty to chew on.
Podcast Topic:
- Bio-mechanics for repeatable and accurate shots with a trad bow
- The role of the central nervous system in executing a shot you can trust
- Why most hunters fail when the moment counts—and how to fix it
- Coaching through target panic, collapsing, and anticipation
- How shot mechanics translate to real-world hunting scenarios
- Why form is more than just physical
