Pik cut his teeth in the woods and waters of Northeast PA.  Mentors being  his grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles.  Deep roots from both sides of his family inspired and cultivated the enthusiasm and passion for the outdoor lifestyle.  Pursuing white-tail deer, turkeys, and small game started it all.

Andy Spittle

I’m Andy Spittle. I was introduced to the outdoors officially when I was 3 or 4. My dad started a trapline on the family farm, and he carried me into the marsh to set coon and muskrat traps. I still remember the first catches we had back there.

Brad Shambach

Hey there, I’m Brad, the guy on the R2 Pursuits team who proves that enthusiasm trumps skill every single time. I grew up in a family that lived and breathed the outdoors, and while a lot of their expertise rubbed off on me, apparently the true ‘mastery’ gene skipped a generation.
