Pennsylvania Outdoor Recreation Business Spotlight: Brokenstraw Outdoors Brings Innovation and Conservation to Hunting Enthusiasts

Jeremiah Pfadt, Owner and President of Brokenstraw Outdoors, was born and raised in the small town of North East; and has been a part of the local hunting and fishing community his entire life.

A few years ago, this passion for the outdoors developed into the invention of Jeremiah’s own patent-pending shooting rail, “The BOSS.”

The BOSS is a sturdy and adjustable shooting rail, that creates a stable rest for an effective shot which, in turn, decreases the number of wounded animals.

In addition to contributing to the efficiency and fun of the sport, the BOSS also provides safety features for the hunter to help prevent injuries from slips or falls while in the tree stand.

As with many Pennsylvania outdoor recreation businesses, Jeremiah recognizes the importance of conserving our natural places to continue outdoor recreation opportunities for the future.

The rails are compact, lightweight, and easily portable.

With the creation of this shooting rail, Jeremiah’s business, Brokenstraw Outdoors, was born.

Named after Brokenstraw Creek in Pittsfield, the business has now expanded to provide various outdoor services, including wildlife habitat management.

Conserving our state’s natural resources while continuing to make outdoor recreation opportunities abundant now and for future generations is of utmost importance to Jeremiah.

An earthworks division is a huge component to the many aspects of Brokenstraw’s specialties that make this business unique.

Jeremiah offers numerous services to help landowners plan, create, and maintain a healthy environment for wildlife and ecosystems, especially whitetail deer.

These services include excavation, food plot establishment, forestry, and more.

His passion and respect for the land, wildlife, and the continuation of our state’s outdoor recreation opportunities is the driving force behind his business.

Jeremiah also strives to connect with other people and businesses involved with outdoor recreation and sees the opportunity that an Outdoor Business Alliance could offer.

“Networking is key to being successful, and gathering like-minded people to discuss the industry is a great way to keep making connections so we can continue effective practices of conservation across the Commonwealth,” said Jeremiah.
