FULLDRAW OUTFITTERS

What FULLDRAW OUTFITTERS does

Fulldraw Outfitters LLC is a family-owned Colorado hunting outfitter (Colorado License #1590) founded and led by Fred Eichler alongside his wife Michele and their three sons Jeb, Seth, and Trent. The company provides guided and non-guided big-game hunts across private ranches totaling over 20,000 acres in Colorado's high country and eastern plains, plus a special use permit on San Isabel National Forest. Core offerings include Archery Elk, Rifle Elk, Trophy Mule Deer, Whitetail, Combination Deer/Elk, Bear, and both Archery and Rifle Antelope hunts, with Colorado Turkey hunts as a seasonal add-on; all guided packages include meals and lodging at the Fulldraw Lodge. The business model is direct-to-consumer, with hunters booking per-hunt packages via the company website, phone, or email, supported by an online merchandise storefront (InkSoft) selling hats and the Traditional Harvests I-V video series. Marketing is driven by the fulldrawoutfitters.com website, the 'Everything Eichler' podcast, TV appearances on Sportsman's Channel (Easton Bowhunting TV, Predator Nation), and continuously archived hunting reports dating back to 2010. There is no proprietary technology stack; the moat rests on regulated land access (Colorado license and federal special use permit), family-led guide talent, and a long-standing brand within the Colorado bowhunting community.

• Bear Archery: Heritage archery manufacturer where Fred Eichler previously worked. Comparable as a sponsor/ecosystem partner inside the recurve and compound bowhunting community Fulldraw serves.

Broad incumbents

• Sitka Gear: Premium technical hunting apparel brand widely adopted by trophy big-game hunters, including archery elk hunters. Comparable because Sitka targets the same high-end guided-hunt customer segment and is a natural brand partner/adjacent for Fulldraw's audience.
• KUIU: Premium direct-to-consumer technical hunting apparel brand with strong archery and western big-game hunter penetration. Comparable customer overlap with Fulldraw's guided elk, deer, and antelope hunters.
• Bass Pro Shops / Cabela's: Dominant North American outdoor retail and hospitality brand (Big Cedar Lodge, etc.). Comparable as the broad incumbent in the hunting/outdoor lifestyle space that Fulldraw's branded merchandise and lodge experience compete for share of wallet within.
• DSC (Dallas Safari Club): Largest U.S. hunting-conservation organization and convention that aggregates outfitters and trophy-hunt buyers. Comparable because DSC is the primary channel where Fulldraw's target customers research and book guided big-game trips.
• GoHunt: Largest hunting-focused platform in North America offering guided trip bookings, gear, and an INSIDER research tool. Comparable as a hunting outfitter discovery and booking channel serving the same trophy big-game customer base that Fulldraw targets.

Emerging players

• MeatEater (Steven Rinella): Media-driven hunting brand built around founder Steven Rinella, combining TV/podcast content with a gear line (MeatEater) and MeatEater Outfitters expeditions. Directly comparable to Fulldraw's strategy of leveraging Fred Eichler's media presence (Sportsman's Channel, Everything Eichler podcast) into hunting bookings and merchandise.
