Show Notes
Craftsmanship isn’t loud, it’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time.
On Episode 308 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Craig Francis of ULTRAVIEW Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond products and releases. Craig helps shape how the brand shows up in the archery space, but more importantly, he’s thinking about standards, responsibility, and how you build trust in an industry that’s crowded with noise. We talk about craftsmanship as a mindset, how personal growth is often built through mistakes and experience, and why transparency and hunting ethics still matter when it would be easier to stay quiet.
We also dig into what it really looks like to build and protect a brand behind the scenes. Craig shares the thinking behind ULTRAVIEW’s commitment to USA-made manufacturing, the realities people don’t see in product development, and why continuous improvement is baked into how they design and refine their gear. From the importance of storytelling in the hunting community to advocating for the future of the hunting industry itself, this episode is a reminder that how we build things — and how we represent this space — matters.
This isn’t a product episode.
It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, stewardship, and doing things the right way — in business, in the woods, and in life.
So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!
