Welcome to another episode of the Built to Hunt podcast! Today, we’re diving into the heart of the Full Draw Film Tour—an annual showcase of incredible hunting films that capture the essence of adventure, passion, and storytelling in the wild. I’m excited to be joined by Jade Helmich with FDFT and Brady Harang with Huntin' Fool.

Plus, we’ll look ahead at what’s coming for the 2025 tour—dates, tips, and what filmmakers can expect.
We’ll also dive into the evolution of filming in the field—whether or not you need high-end equipment, what makes a film stand out, and where some films fall short. And for the first time ever, we’ll be announcing the winner of the 2024 Full Draw Film Tour live on the podcast!
