I probably sound like a broken record but I have been so fortunate to have crossed paths with some amazing people through the sport of archery over the years. Carl Drake is no doubt one of those individuals.
A man of strong faith, Drake credits his blessings in life to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and begins our episode this week by sharing his testimony. He also details a near fatal accident this past winter in which he and his wife were ejected from a swamp buggy that could have had a tragic ending to it. Clearly, God still has plans for Carl and his role as an ambassador in the outdoor world and a firefighter and paramedic when you can't find him in the woods.
Carl is an industry veteran and longtime staff member for Realtree, Hunter Specialties, HHA Sports and other notable brands. He is also a staple on the hit show The Break, a series on Waypoint and YouTube about regular guys and their hunting exploits away from their 9-5's. It was there that he connected us with the Kniestedt Foundation, now one of HHAUSA's partners getting service men and women into the outdoors to combat PTSD.
A world-class turkey caller, Drake has hunted across the globe and loves to visit Africa as often as he can. The plan is to send a Veteran or First Responder along with Carl on one of these hunts in the near future and we are excited to be a part of that.
This is truly an episode that you don't want to miss and I guarantee that you will walk away from this conversation wanting to sit down and have a chat with Carl yourself. He is definitely one of the good guys!
