A new podcast, Brianna over here is fiddling with her mic.
0:03
She finally got it sorted. You think she a podcast rookie
0:05
over here. But we have an exciting week.
0:09
We just got back from a nice trip over to Arizona and now
0:13
we're home for a 2 day span to get a lot of tasks done and get
0:18
ready to get back on the road for the Vegas shoot, which is
0:23
this weekend. So when you guys are listening
0:25
to this on Wednesday, I will be shooting my first competitive
0:28
arrows indoor ever at Vegas on Friday.
0:31
Really exciting stuff. How have things been going
0:35
they've. Been going well, they've been
0:40
going well. I feel to have many updates
0:43
these days. I just peddle on tasks, film.
0:48
It'll make some stuff for, for clients and you know, start with
0:54
the new one. Really like the subcontracting
1:00
in a week or two. And that's really it for me, you
1:05
know, not much new in my world. Why are you wearing a blanket
1:10
when it's 81° in the podcast studio?
1:13
I don't know, I just enjoy a blanket and as if shorts on so I
1:17
enjoy a blanket. That seems unbelievable.
1:20
I feel quite cozy, yeah. So how did you enjoy Arizona?
1:25
You did shoot 2 fun courses and you also filmed.
1:30
What was your thoughts on the Rumble in the Rocks tournament
1:33
in Dragoon? You know, how did you like the
1:37
fun courses? How do you feel like you
1:38
performed? How do you feel like you're
1:40
filming was how? Give me kind of the the rundown
1:42
on what you thought of the event as a whole.
1:45
Yeah, that was our first time going.
1:49
We passed that exit so many times and I'm always commented
1:56
on the rocks there and didn't know that that was where the
1:59
archery range was, that they hold rumble off the rocks.
2:03
I don't know, like, so they don't use it regularly as a
2:06
range because it's a ranch, right?
2:10
But a club auction obviously puts on desert, high desert.
2:15
Rumble in the Rocks. No, but there's a club that puts
2:18
Rumble in the Rocks is the name of that specific event.
2:20
That's not the name of the club that puts on Rumble in the
2:23
Rocks. It's like high desert something
2:26
or other. Desert Archers.
2:28
Desert Archers, that's it. Is that where their local range
2:33
is all the time? I have no idea.
2:36
Me either, I don't know, but it didn't look like it was.
2:40
So I wonder where there their club is if it's not located
2:45
there. So then it was that was just a
2:46
thought I had while I was there. But it is one of the coolest
2:53
places in Arizona to have an archery shoot.
2:57
It's, I mean, if you've ever been to Arizona or parts of like
3:02
Southern California where you just see like these big boulders
3:06
pop out of nowhere and they're just like boulders on top of
3:09
boulders that make up a mountain that's rumble in the rocks.
3:13
And imagine throwing an archery shoot amidst all of that.
3:18
Just such a cool backdrop and you know, area to snake through
3:24
courses and place targets and whatnot.
3:28
So granted, it was, it's part of a series.
3:32
So the targets weren't like in ultra challenging positions just
3:39
because of what the shoe was. But I could see how they have
3:42
other shoots there or if someone put one on there.
3:45
It would be a crazy cool location for an archery shoot
3:51
just because you could have so many, you know, trick shots and
3:55
you know, steep shots and shots that you got to climb up on
3:58
boulders and you could do a lot there.
4:00
So the venue itself, super cool as far as geography, topography,
4:06
Then the venue as far as like the ranch that they have there.
4:13
I know you loved the part where there's a literal saloon, like
4:18
literal swinging doors, cowboy saloon on site.
4:24
Yeah, it's a horse like vacation ranch essentially.
4:30
So you can like, hoard your horses there and vacation and
4:33
trail ride and whatnot. So I did get to say hello to
4:37
some horses, which was very cute.
4:39
But yeah, they've got like a cowboy saloon there and they
4:44
have cabins. Cabins are a little on the
4:46
pricey side, but cool cabins. Very nice, very looks somewhat
4:49
updated. So great location, like you
4:55
said. I think you said to a couple of
4:56
people that you'd want to stay in one of the cabins next year.
5:03
Yeah, I mean, I think the cabins are nice because much like being
5:08
at Attack, it's so much better if you can be like right in the
5:14
venue or very close to the venue where you're staying, because
5:18
that's where all the people are, that's where your friends are
5:19
at, that's where you want to be at.
5:21
That's the buzz. If you like energy and being
5:23
around people like I do, you want to stick with it and be
5:26
there. Like I would have stayed at that
5:27
Salou way too long if I was. Yeah, that's the old.
5:31
But I will say another cool part about the town is they have
5:34
filmed a bunch of movies there. They had these like bulletin
5:37
boards and I was looking at them and they filmed a ton of movies
5:40
right there on the property. Oh yeah, I never stopped and
5:42
read that bulletin. Yeah, they had two, then one
5:44
about like the ownership of the property and then one about the
5:48
the different movies they filmed there.
5:50
So I thought that was really cool.
5:51
It's a shoot I've heard about for a long time and just never
5:55
had made it. You know, I've heard about this
5:57
buckle series forever as well. It's been on my radar.
6:01
I've shot the first stop three times, maybe 4-4, maybe I got
6:09
second once and 1st twice. So three times.
6:12
I've shot it three times and this year, the third year was
6:15
the first time that, you know, competition obviously is a big
6:19
part of our channels goals this year is to compete a lot and it
6:23
made sense to, you know, commit to doing the Triple Crown, which
6:27
has four stops and you get to drop one if you do all four.
6:31
But if you do 3 and get a full slate of scores, we looked at
6:33
the schedule and we can make 3 work this year.
6:36
So we said, OK, let's do it. So we did.
6:39
Yuma brought home first place, a total score four O 5, up 510
6:44
points over second place. We were not able to make stop 2,
6:48
but the winner got a four O 5 as well, same as I won with at stop
6:52
one, but he had one less 12 than me, so I would win the
6:56
tiebreaker. And then at stop three he was
7:00
also there. And the guy who got second at
7:02
both those first stops was there who was in our video, David.
7:06
But this go around I won by 18 points.
7:11
So I got a shot of 446 in second place shot A2.
7:16
What would that be, 228? Yeah, 228, I'm sorry, 428.
7:21
So 440-6428. So that means that essentially
7:26
going do you get? A 428 from.
7:30
That's what the guy in second got.
7:32
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, OK. Yeah.
7:33
I thought you meant you. And I was like, what?
7:35
You had a 4-5 first stop. You just said nevermind.
7:38
Continue. So anyways, going into the last
7:41
stop basically I'll have David is technically in the lead
7:46
because he's done 3 stops. But if me and the guy Colt had
7:52
the highest scores at round two and I've had the highest scores
7:55
at round one and round 3. So basically I, I'm looking at
8:01
it like I basically have an 18 point lead at the last stop,
8:03
which I'd really comfortable with.
8:06
And I felt like I just shot so well.
8:08
And I mean, it goes to show that the indoor shooting, I mean, I
8:12
have my 3 personal best right here, obviously getting
8:17
progressively better Vegas bases.
8:21
This outdoor tournament. I had not practiced 3 deal in
8:26
like months, you know, and I just picked up the bow and went
8:29
and shot and I mean it was like I couldn't miss a 12 or A10.
8:33
It was I shot 3 eights the whole time.
8:35
So if forty shots, I shot 3 eights, all the rest 10's and I
8:40
only had, I think I had eleven 10's and then I had 2020.
8:46
Six, they said. Yeah, 2612 and 142612 out of 40.
8:52
So I mean, to me, it goes to show that shooting indoor really
8:58
does help when you go shoot something different.
9:01
And we were shooting at 50 yards, was our furthest shot was
9:04
50 yards, angles and stuff. Yeah.
9:07
So it's not to explain the course a little bit when we say
9:13
it's like a buckle series and it's a competition.
9:16
But if you're listening to this and you're an East Coaster,
9:19
you're familiar with Asas, Ibos, things like that.
9:23
It's not your clear pine tree lane, flat ground, nothing
9:28
obstructing any portion of the target.
9:31
Not the case with this Western buckle series.
9:35
There are eagles, there are up and downs.
9:38
They do play with the shade. There are quartered shots.
9:42
There was a heavily quartered deer shot.
9:46
There are there are obstructions in a sense, but not necessarily
9:51
of your vitals, but. There was one that got a few
9:55
people because there was a branch and it got it got a few
9:58
people. Yeah, I know a couple people
10:00
that got a zero or five on that. Yeah, just because you had to
10:04
watch for it. So.
10:05
And they should get a 446 on something that's essentially
10:10
like what you could consider like one of the easy, easiest
10:13
tack courses if you were to relate it to a style of a, of a
10:16
shoot. It's like a tack course in a
10:18
sense. But like pick one of the easier
10:21
cattle courses, like a loophole course.
10:26
That's, I mean, people don't do that.
10:32
No. Yeah, You know, it's just, and
10:34
now we were, I was talking about it actually with Ted when I went
10:37
by to pick Taylor Tots up. That's the dog.
10:40
Yeah, but he has a lot of names. But I was interested to think
10:46
what in your opinion made the difference because that's a, a
10:52
huge leap from stock 1 to stop 2 in your score.
10:59
So like maybe breakdown cuz I know I have my thoughts, but
11:03
breakdown your thoughts. Basically it goes between two
11:05
things, both you or three things you, your setup and the courses
11:10
themselves, you know and it can be a mixture of all of them, but
11:14
which specifics of those you know of each one do you think
11:19
essentially brought on such an increase in score from stop 1:00
11:26
to 2:00 because go to go from a 405 to a 446 is a lot of points.
11:32
41 points, yeah. Yeah, and a lot more 12.
11:36
I mean, I had a lot of 12, the first one I had 17, so I mean.
11:39
But 17 to 26 is still 9 more. Well, I mean, the biggest factor
11:44
is that the courses were a lot easier at this one.
11:46
That is the biggest, biggest factor.
11:49
When you say easier, do you think it's because there were?
11:53
I mean the first day the median distance was like 25 yards.
11:56
So sure there was angles, there was you know, stuff like that
12:00
and some some small targets, but it was like spot shooting, you
12:03
know, the first day and you know, I went up 26 the first
12:07
day, you know, so that was the main a big factor course
12:11
easiness. Second day that I would say the
12:13
course was comparable to the ones in Yuma and I actually shot
12:17
only only 20, only 6 points worse the second day I shot a
12:21
220, so I shot up 20 the second day on a course that I mean
12:24
there was a lot of shots, 45 plus lot of good angles.
12:29
The that was a tougher course so that so.
12:33
That one. So one factor is the courses
12:36
were a little bit easier and that's reflected in Colt score,
12:39
David scores. We all scored higher, right.
12:42
Everyone scored higher across the board.
12:43
So that goes to show you the course was the courses were
12:46
easier. So that's part part of it.
12:49
Now the other things I think made a big difference for me is
12:52
like I mentioned earlier, shooting so much indoor, I think
12:55
has the really played a huge factor in it.
13:00
That would be probably my second most important thing.
13:02
Third would be the four power lens kit I thought was really
13:08
good. I mean, especially when a lot of
13:10
the shots were 30 yards or less, I mean I can actually I'll index
13:15
and then when I pull up the scope, I can actually a lot of
13:18
times see the 12, which is really helpful.
13:20
So that was key. And then obviously I didn't have
13:24
quiver this time, so I wasn't messing around last time that I
13:26
had like a arrow falling out every once in awhile, like
13:29
little distractions like that. So I think having the hip quiver
13:32
was good, maybe a point or two for that.
13:37
And then lastly was just I didn't have any streak where I
13:45
was chasing the bow at all. It was good the whole time.
13:48
And I think partly that's because the day before their
13:51
contest, again, I hadn't been shooting the bow at all or
13:54
outdoor at all or 3D at all. So luckily you and I did a
13:58
little competition between two of us on the fun course and I
14:01
did click it around a little bit that day.
14:03
Not much, I mean, but a little bit.
14:05
And I think that that was really important.
14:08
You know, I think that probably gave me another six to eight
14:12
points, just just that we shot that afternoon.
14:17
Yeah. And then so I think, I think
14:19
it's a culmination of things. But those would be all the
14:22
things that come to mind for me that I think that led to such a
14:26
such a crazy score. So when you say indoor helps,
14:33
maybe just elaborate because I'm sure there are people who want
14:38
to increase their score and maybe they don't shoot indoor or
14:43
don't shoot it yet, but you know, to help them focus in on
14:49
what things to be focused because maybe they don't want to
14:51
shoot indoor, like they're not going to go join a league to
14:53
shoot or whatnot, but they want to do it in order to help
14:58
improve their outdoor because that's what they they focus on
15:01
the loved outdoor 3D season. They do buckle series.
15:05
They, you know, follow along and they say whatever, if they go to
15:10
start doing, think of it as like a, you know, when you do a
15:14
sport, you don't just like play the sport itself to practice.
15:19
You do drills and you know, things like that, warm ups and
15:24
whatnot. So if they go to start doing
15:28
indoor as a way to do a drill, you know, essentially to get
15:31
better at their sport of outdoor, what specific things
15:36
would you say helped you that you brought from indoor to
15:42
outdoor, even some consciously, you know, like you weren't
15:45
consciously thinking about what I do this during indoor, but
15:48
let's focus on it here and outdoorly, just the things that
15:51
you noticed helped in indoor that translated into better at
15:57
being an outdoor shooter. Yeah.
16:00
So I would say a few things come to mind right off the bat on
16:05
that. Firstly, I think in this is
16:07
really important is when you're shooting indoor, it's kind of
16:12
addicting because you're like, you know, let's say you shoot a
16:15
290, a 299, you're like, I got to try it again now and it's one
16:19
shot. I got to do another round.
16:21
So you end up doing a lot of rounds because you really want
16:24
to get your scores better. What whether you're shooting a
16:27
285 or 295 or 299 or 327 X and it's like well shoot well I need
16:32
three more X's for 30X, you know.
16:35
So you're always like wanting to shoot more.
16:37
Even today I shot 2 rounds that were not good and I was like
16:41
should we shoot another one? And I was like no, I shouldn't
16:43
be shooting today. I think that was enough just to
16:45
move my body. But So what I think is the
16:46
amount of reps is key. Number 2 is the bows heavier.
16:53
So I think that when you go shoot a lighter bow with less
16:56
magnification, sucker feels like it's so easy to shoot to me.
17:01
That's another thing. And then #3 this I think is
17:03
probably the most important factor is that you're at least
17:07
me when I'm shooting indoor, I'm constantly trying to hit a dime,
17:10
right? So I'm aiming at a dime every
17:12
single time. So when you pull up at to a 31
17:15
yard whitetail deer target in the 12 is that big that's bigger
17:22
than the tent That's like the size of the 9 ring almost.
17:26
So like you pull up your setup and it feels the same or maybe
17:29
even better depend, you know, depending on what you got.
17:32
It's like it feels like a layup. It feels like a shooting a beach
17:35
vault. Whereas like if you're only ever
17:37
shooting 3D and you come across a badger target, like that's a
17:42
small little ring, we came across a frog and like the
17:45
twelves like that. And I'm like signature that I
17:48
shoot all the time. So it's like, you know, it
17:49
doesn't make any. And imagine that frog is 6
17:51
yards. Looking through your four power
17:53
lens, it looked like this, you know, like, yeah.
17:55
I mean, so I think that was really big.
17:58
All all of those things I would say are the biggest factor.
18:01
And with #1 being just that, you're aiming so small all the
18:06
time. Yeah, and those are all things
18:10
that are. They're not like conscious
18:14
physical or like rhetorical rhetoric, things that you bring
18:20
over to outdoor. They're I don't even know the
18:24
word for it. You know, they're they're just
18:28
like subconsciously, you know, drill why wise trained, you know
18:35
that you brought then over. It's not like, you know, if you
18:37
play baseball well, if I hit the baseball more times, I'll just
18:42
be better at hitting the baseball.
18:43
Well, yeah, sure. But maybe if I, you know, like
18:49
when they put the weight on the baseball, you know, on the on
18:53
the bat. Dancers do do.
18:55
That with the balls, yeah. And then you take it off.
18:59
It was something you did that just inadvertently improved your
19:06
swing, you know, so you can't like, sit there and think about
19:11
it, but you just are better because of it.
19:15
Yeah, it was AI. Mean.
19:16
And then one one other thing though, that you, you were you
19:19
told a couple of people while you're out there that are more
19:22
to rhetoric. Yeah, rhetoric.
19:23
And you can explain it that you can bring over as a, you know,
19:27
almost like you called them mantras.
19:30
Yeah, I mean, it's like, you know, so when I shot that last
19:36
personal best on March 17th in today's March 23rd, so not very
19:40
long ago last week to shot that 327 XI really like honed in and
19:47
I learned this phrase that I was saying every time and it really
19:49
helped me shoot that score. And it was like, OK, if it's not
19:52
AX, don't shoot it. And I would say every time I'd
19:55
look at sit there, get my grip right, look at the dot and go,
19:58
if it's not as well, don't shoot it.
20:00
Come up. And and I did the same thing.
20:04
Outdoor, so every time I pulled up to the target, regardless of
20:07
the distance, anything, just it's not a 12, don't shoot the
20:10
arrow. And I only let down once the
20:12
whole weekend. I think no, maybe twice for
20:16
sure. Once, maybe twice I let down all
20:17
weekend. But my idea every time was if
20:20
it's not a 12, don't shoot it. And I think that was really
20:24
good. And today when I wouldn't
20:25
practice indoor, I was struggling.
20:27
I just was like, I don't know, my mind.
20:29
I think I was like a little frustrated and maybe like a
20:31
little grumpy and I was like forgetting the mantra sometimes
20:34
and just like the bow wasn't sitting good.
20:36
Like it just wasn't a great day, you know?
20:38
And I was like, OK, but I got that done.
20:41
So I think like maybe I'm learning.
20:42
It's harder to transfer from outdoor back to indoor.
20:45
It's much easier to go from indoor to outdoor.
20:47
I think I've learned. But luckily, you know, I got
20:49
today to practice. I got tomorrow and then you
20:53
know, I'll be able to practice Thursday in Vegas and Friday, so
20:56
I'll be fine. It's just not going to be a
20:58
problem. But I am glad I went today.
21:00
Learned that Bose timing on the indoor bows just like a little
21:04
bit out, so we went over to Joey's used time lock, took
21:07
about frigging 10 seconds and got it frigging perfect.
21:10
Sorry, I was having some high misses today and is guaranteed.
21:14
Just me. I was not feeling very good, but
21:15
I shot at 296 and at 297, which is funny that that feels so
21:20
terrible. I felt like I shot like shit and
21:22
I I shot well. I used to shoot a lot of 290
21:25
sixes before I went up to see Greg and Paige.
21:28
Like I would show up to the range a lot of time to shoot
21:30
like a 295 to 297. So I shot like how I used to
21:34
shoot and I felt like absolute garbage, you know, and I didn't
21:37
even shoot that bad. I would have been happy with
21:40
that like a month or two ago, you know, so the progress has
21:43
been really good. But back to the outdoor stuff.
21:46
I mean, you're right. It's just, I think that aiming
21:50
so small, having the mindset of like, I'm going to shoot a 12.
21:54
I think the other part too is like my expectation when I'm
21:58
shooting a Vegas space is I can't miss.
22:01
I have to hand it every time. That's like my mindset, right?
22:04
And I think in the past on 3DS, maybe you're a little more Willy
22:10
nilly with it. Like you're like half it's a 5
22:13
or an 8 like whatever, we'll see where I score at the end rather
22:16
than being like no, I need to every 12 on the all of them, you
22:20
know, and I think I obviously didn't quite do that.
22:23
I mean I missed 14 twelves, but I hit 6.6 of them, you know, so
22:27
I think that mine says really good.
22:30
The ball was Jasper so good. I was literally tempted to be
22:34
like, maybe I'll just switch last minute and just shoot this
22:36
stuff that biggest because I think I might even shoot better
22:39
with it. Like I'd have to go try it, but
22:41
I, it's just like so good and I'm not going to do that.
22:45
I'm going to shoot the reckoning.
22:46
But like I, I literally am considering it.
22:49
And I think in bow hunter, like if I shot indoor bow hunter,
22:53
bro, I think I would be. So I think my scores would be
22:56
like the same, you know, and they would score so high because
23:00
it's just like I've practiced it more, but I want to stick with
23:02
the target thing, really commit to the bow and just like learn
23:06
that. And by next year, like, you
23:07
know, I've only been practicing this indoor chef for like 2
23:10
months. Seriously, you know what, what
23:13
right when we left pages was when I actually started to shoot
23:16
seriously and that was like February 15th and today is March
23:21
23rd. So I've shot like a month and a
23:23
five weeks I've been shooting. That's it.
23:26
It's not very much. So you know, you think about
23:29
like a whole nother year and learning my setup better, making
23:32
a couple tweaks like I think it'll be way better.
23:34
But as far as the outdoor bow goes, I mean, we were talking
23:38
about switching to the V TAC20 threes before the shoot and I
23:43
had them like they're almost built and ready, but I'm glad I
23:47
did and this Boja shoots so good with the setup and the HL Rs
23:50
like this setup is working and I'm not switching it for the
23:53
next stop. I'm going to shoot it exactly
23:55
how it is and next year I'll try the 23, try something different.
24:00
But like it would be so dumb for me to switch it right now when
24:03
it's hitting, you know it's worth everything.
24:05
You know the proven 34. I got the podium Archer 10 inch
24:09
bars V bars in the back. I got the podium Archer 27 inch
24:14
bar in the front. By the way, you there on the
24:17
website, bonussubs.com or if you want to get them off Josh
24:20
website, you can say 10% if you use team BD at checkout.
24:23
Same with Badlands gear, 20% team BD at checkout and then Bo
24:28
disciples challenge for May 15 to 17.
24:31
You guys should definitely come out to that.
24:33
That's going to be a great, great time.
24:35
And the courses are already, man, I have kind of mapped out
24:39
two, 2 1/2 of them. And man, they're going to be
24:41
good. They're going to be good, but
24:42
they're going to be physical. So make sure you're in shape and
24:45
bring a lot of water because some of these are really going
24:47
to test people. I'm telling you that.
24:49
But yeah, I don't know. I, I was just pleased with how I
24:55
shot, you know? What?
24:57
Well, on a separate note, I guess you know, I didn't shoot
24:59
obviously for. You shot.
25:01
Amazing score or anything. I did compete.
25:04
Next year we plan to flip the coin and at least for this
25:08
series alone, I will compete and you will film.
25:14
I'm sure where you know, I think my goal for you is to get you in
25:19
some ASA shoots. You know, we'll have to fly to
25:22
them, but competitively wise, competition wise, you know, move
25:29
beyond, you know, that buckle series to some ASA shoots for
25:35
you. But for me, I want to do that
25:37
buckle series next year. Good.
25:39
So I was out there. I did the fun courses.
25:42
We did fun course one on Friday afternoon.
25:45
We did fun course 2 on Saturday afternoon.
25:48
And though now I will say my score may have been a little
25:53
different if I had felt more fatigue over time, but we're at
25:57
that point again, where I am working on.
26:01
I've had this bow since. So like, no, no, Did I happen
26:09
for my September shoot? I did.
26:12
I think that's the first shoot like Hunt, I brought that bow on
26:18
running. I'll go back and look at the
26:20
videos and try to figure out you can keep talking off.
26:22
I'll let you know when it was. OK.
26:25
I'll pull up the date of the video.
26:27
Let's see here. Maybe do a little AB on that.
26:34
Anyway, it doesn't really matter, but I was trying.
26:37
To well, you want to know when you got it, so I'm.
26:39
Yeah, I was just trying to think of how long I'd had the bow for,
26:42
but I bought it with the intention of, you know, I was
26:48
maxed out at £50 on the core Sr. and I with 24 1/2 inch drop.
26:57
It's just it's it's clear as day I will not get any more speed
27:02
out of the bow unless I increase the poundage.
27:06
Seven months ago. Seven months ago.
27:08
So yes, the glass. You can't offer your frog voice
27:11
right now. I like my frog voice.
27:14
August is when you got it, yeah. So I've been sitting with it
27:23
just still, it's £60 limbs, but I've been sitting with them at
27:27
50. Then we dropped down a little
27:29
bit for the Arizona hunt and they was at like 47 and a half,
27:35
48. And so it's just time to to work
27:39
on increasing it. And I've been going to the gym
27:41
five days a week for a few months now and it felt just you
27:48
put it to whole tournament 365 and I could drop back.
27:52
So then you put another one in, I could still drop back.
27:55
So we finally got it to the point where it was funny because
28:01
I think I'm a little bit in my head and by a little probably a
28:04
lot in my head about it. Kind of like back when I did
28:07
that with the Chorus R, for whatever reason, just like all
28:10
the sudden like could no longer draw my bow.
28:12
It's a weird mental thing I've been doing and I think I'm in a
28:16
little bit of that right now with where it's at because when
28:19
you put that final turn in before we left to go on the
28:22
trip, I drew it back once was like, OK, Yep, I can get it
28:25
back. It's it's firm again, but I
28:27
could get it back. And then we got there and I just
28:32
sort of do it now. My arm was pretty sore from
28:34
shooting the day before, plus from back day, back bicep the
28:39
day before we had left or two days before I think, I don't
28:43
know. But so you drew for me the whole
28:47
time. Now we I told you like try to
28:51
draw as light as possible so you're not putting much of the
28:54
work in. But a little bit goes a long
28:57
way. So maybe my score would have
29:00
looked a little bit different had I felt fatigue over time,
29:03
but I didn't because I wasn't pulling it back completely
29:08
myself the whole time. But it just, I told you a while
29:16
back, I will not change. That's not it.
29:18
That's the alliance. I thought you said they hadn't
29:23
send you an alliance. You always get the two confused,
29:28
the ascend and the OH. I do do that the.
29:31
Alliance is a flagship. The ascend is like a it's not a
29:34
bunch of bow, but it's it's like $1000 price point.
29:36
Great bow. By the way, if you haven't
29:38
checked, if your price point is like 1000 bucks, the ascend is a
29:41
banger because it's got a form of deadlock.
29:45
Lot of great tech, good tuning, 31 inch Axel to Axel.
29:50
It's a good rig for a nice price.
29:52
Yeah, I do get the the 2A names and you can mixing them up.
29:56
But anyways, the virtue I just will not I will not change from
30:01
it for unless the another bow comes out and I try it out from
30:05
them and I'm like, oh, OK, this this is even better.
30:09
I have zero reason to change from the virtue.
30:12
It just is the most steady thing I've had in my hand.
30:16
My pin movement is so minimal. So I know without a doubt, like
30:24
anytime I do shoot, you know, in eight I'm like, that was me and
30:29
I just know it. And but I was just I was on a
30:36
heater all weekend. You were I.
30:39
Shot. You shot very well.
30:41
I was very impressed because we, you know, you shot 30 targets,
30:45
215 target courses and you were really good on both.
30:48
I mean, we did, you know, throw your bone with a few mulligans,
30:51
but you shot really well. Two on day 2, none on day.
30:58
What? Well, you had that one where
31:00
your bell went off. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
31:02
looped my Dang. That would have been a 0, so
31:05
that was a mole. Yeah, I guess you could call it
31:07
that. I'd be so crazy.
31:09
I've literally had that thing for over a year now.
31:11
Never done that before. And then did it three times this
31:15
weekend where I looped that string around my my thumb
31:18
button, pulled it back as I was drawing back like a like a
31:22
hinge, you know, but not it acted as a hinge.
31:28
It felt enough pressure and went off.
31:32
But yeah, I think like the scores that I put up for having
31:36
shot so little this past few months, I was not expecting to
31:44
shoot like that. Now I will say there's a couple
31:47
of girls in that buckle series that I shot with last year and
31:52
they shot this year. I did not because I've been
31:54
filming and their scores are, I hate to say for women, their
31:59
scores are crazy, but like they are like there's not a a lot of
32:06
when, at least in that series that I've shot with before.
32:09
Now, that's not to say out there in the competitive world, you
32:12
know, they probably get that all day long, but like usually
32:18
there's no noticeable difference between the men's score and the
32:20
women's score in the same category.
32:23
Open or bow Hunter or whatever Tally is putting up a four O 5.
32:28
Now it's not a 446, but there are plenty of men that put up a
32:33
four O 5. There was no one near her score,
32:36
you know, even for 2nd and 3rd place.
32:39
So like, she did great. I don't even think that many men
32:45
did a four O 5 like maybe yeah. We had a handful because there
32:48
was 23 of them in the open category.
32:51
Yeah, I mean, it was good. You shot really well.
32:54
It was nice to get back out there.
32:55
I always say sometimes a break from shooting goes a long ways.
32:59
For a lot of times when he just put the bow down for a little
33:02
while and pick it back up, I think a lot of times he gets
33:05
better. I don't know why, but at least
33:07
for me, that's been the case lately.
33:10
I haven't been doing that. I've been shooting a lot, but
33:14
you know, I mean after Vegas I was looking at the calendar, got
33:18
a nine day little time off to edit videos and get tasks done
33:22
before heading out to the last leg of the trip ground series,
33:28
you know, before the weekend before Oklahoma tax.
33:31
So I'll be good, get a little break, maybe set the boat down
33:33
for a little while and then go shoot that and then do tax.
33:37
So we got a lot of cool stuff on the horizon.
33:40
Obviously, the main thing now is Vegas.
33:42
I mean, it's right here, it's here, leaving in 2 days.
33:45
The day this comes out, we'll be on the road to Vegas.
33:48
So if you guys are there, I know I'm shooting at 2:30 on Friday.
33:52
So if you all want to come watch, definitely come support.
33:57
We're in the flight. Compound flights so come check
34:00
that out 2:30 on Friday. I don't know the other dates yet
34:03
but I'll post them on the social.
34:05
So stay tuned to that and I'll be sure to post the times that
34:07
way people can could come watch. Because I want it to be fun.
34:10
That's the main thing. Obviously I want to do well,
34:13
I've put a lot of work into it and I'm going to try my best to
34:16
do put up a 900. But yeah, I also want to have a
34:20
lot of fun. So for me that's really
34:22
important. I don't want to do it just
34:24
because like I want to do it because I think indoor is fun
34:27
and beneficial. So I don't want to be there and
34:30
be like, I can't talk to anybody or have any drinks in Vegas.
34:33
Like, Nah, I don't want to do that.
34:35
So like, I'm going to have fun, but I'm also trying my best, you
34:38
know what I'm saying? So yeah, it's going to be good.
34:43
They're going to give it a heck. Going to give it a heck for
34:46
sure. So appreciate you guys
34:49
listening. Five stars on Apple and Spotify.
34:51
Subscribe to the Bow Disciples podcast channel right now on
34:54
this YouTube video for me. If you're watching on YouTube
34:58
and then I'm, I'm just going to say it, this is going to be
35:00
really, really difficult, but our group is committing to it.
35:04
Brianna's going to be my filmer in Vegas along with Ty Jordan.
35:08
If you haven't checked out his content, he's got some good
35:10
stuff, so go check them out. But we're going to be attempting
35:13
to put out today's Monday when we're recording this.
35:16
I'm going to put out the Yuma or Rumble in the Rocks video
35:20
tomorrow on Tuesday is my goal. So that's going to come out
35:22
Tuesday, Wednesday, the last Road to Vegas episode will drop
35:26
and we'll leave for Vegas. Thursday we're going to try to
35:30
put out a video from Vegas to practice and then daily videos
35:33
Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Every single day when I get done
35:37
competing, we're going to try to go bang out a video and put it
35:39
up the same day. So if things go to plan, that
35:44
will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
35:47
Sunday. They'll be 6 days in a row.
35:48
Videos on the main Bonus Angles channel plus this podcast on
35:51
Wednesday. That is a tremendous amount of
35:54
output and a lot of work that our group is putting in.
35:57
So we would be elated if y'all would watch the videos five
36:01
times. For us, just put them in the
36:03
background and watch them several times because that'll
36:06
really help us subscribe. Like the videos, comment them,
36:09
like share them whenever, like really pump those videos because
36:13
it would suck if we put in all that effort and they get like no
36:15
views. That would not be good.
36:17
So go support them and yeah, if you see us in Vegas, you won't
36:22
see us for like an hour or two after competing because we're
36:24
going to be in the room finishing those videos.
36:26
But if you see me after that, I am down to crush a pomp, that's
36:31
for sure. So I.
36:33
Was only down to crush a couple that can look left.
36:36
Oh, all right, see ya.
