Mackey Louthan never misses a chance to shoot his bow. This past weekend he and his family attended the NFAA Southern Indoor Sectionals at Arrowhead Archery in Del City, The USA Archery Indoor State Championship at H&H Archery in Oklahoma City and the Paris ASA Southwest Shootout all the way down in Paris Texas. Congratulation to Mackey on his big win and thank you for always taking the kids out to shoot some big tournaments. The Louthans have attended the Frozen Okie, Rushmore Rumble and will hit all 6 of the Pro/Ams at the ASA this season. We sat down with Mackey to talk about how to get the youth archers interested in competition and keep them motivated to keep competing across the country!

Be ready for 3D season as we preview our new OK ASA Team Shoot format with Mackey and look forward to the upcoming 31 qualifier schedule of events here in Oklahoma! We wish all the best of luck to Dave on his trip to Lancaster Classic this week and safe travels to everyone headed north to compete.

Thank you to our sponsors at the podcast: Cooper Heat and Air, Summit Bowstrings and H&H Shooting Sports.

Not all legends wear medals or chase podiums anymore.

Some lean on the counter at the pro shop.

Some drink bad coffee, tell better stories, and tune bows without being asked.

Some quietly make everyone else shoot better.

This episode is about one of those guys.

We sit down with Dan Gaston — a lifetime archer, a pro shop regular, a problem-solver, and a living piece of archery history. Dan’s been shooting his whole life, competed at a high level back in the day, and whether he’s chasing scores now or not, his impact on this sport is undeniable. If you’ve ever walked into a shop and felt instantly welcomed, helped, or challenged to be better — you’ve felt the influence of guys like Dan.

Archery isn’t built only by champions and trophies. It’s built by the people who show up, share knowledge, and keep the culture alive. This conversation is about legacy, glory days, and why the counter-leaners and daytime shop guys matter more than they’ll ever admit.

Sly Cooper is an Oklahoma Archery Legend (on the indoor line). We recap his win at the 2026 Tom Thomas Memorial Hosted by Tulsa Archery Association. Sly shot a clean 360/360 with 34x for the win. We get into shot execution and setup with one of the absolute best guys around. If you haven't met Sly yet you need to come spend some time on the line with one of the best! Always a fun guy to shoot with and always cutting up and joking around.

Sly shoots for Darton Archery, Conquest Stabilizers, Black Eagle Arrows and Big Daddy's Bowstrings out of Okieland Bowhunters in Norman, OK. You don't want to miss this episode from 3 of your favorite Arrow Slinging Okies!
