New podcast. We got the Christmas special.
0:03
We got our onesies on and I like them.
0:07
I do like the onesies. We got a fire scene with a
0:10
Christmas tree and some presents and some firewood.
0:14
Brianna loves Christmas. I think it's safe to say it's
0:17
her favorite holiday get. The chair to sit still.
0:21
Would you agree it's your favorite holiday?
0:22
It's. My favorite holiday?
0:24
Well, it was my favorite holiday, but I can see in your
0:28
shirt, but since you guys don't have a Turkey on Christmas,
0:38
doesn't have a Turkey on Christmas, I may have to move to
0:42
my second favorite holiday. Turkey has asked.
0:45
We've established this on many episodes.
0:49
What is wrong with this chair today?
0:54
Jeez, OP. I'm on degree, let me try to
1:01
lodge it in place. Really exciting stuff.
1:05
Real quick. Let's get it out the way.
1:08
We have a Christmas giveaway right now.

So go get entered. It's a killer package.
2:09
And yeah, excited to see somebody get a new bow and a
2:14
whole glassing kit and everything.
2:16
It'll be awesome. But but yeah, that being said,
2:20
we got our Christmas scene on the TV here.
2:24
My house look like. That we do not have a Christmas
2:26
tree up in our house. Not this year.
2:29
Not this year. No, but but your mic is facing
2:34
the complete wrong direction. Got it.
2:38
You'd think she'd never done a podcast before, guys, but OK.
2:42
So you've been working on your arrow building?
2:46
Yes, that's been quite the process for you.
2:48
I myself as have also done some vein gluing.
2:52
I did much better my second attempt.
2:54
Yeah, yeah. The first attempt I might have
2:56
had a few too many lollipops with a pal.
2:59
And yeah, I wouldn't recommend. Was having trouble keeping the
3:01
glue and the. Well, I just got really putting
3:04
the fletch on the same line every time, you know?
3:07
That was that part was better, I was just missing a lot.
3:11
I don't know about that. Yeah, Yeah.
3:15
The process has been eye opening.
3:19
Arrow buildings really not hard per SE.
3:22
It just opens your eyes to the many possibilities that you can
3:28
create with your arrow. And there's such a variance in,
3:36
you know, the limits of, you know, highs and lows, extremes
3:40
that you can keep your build within while still coming up
3:43
with so many options. So then it's like, what do you
3:47
choose? You know, what's the best happy
3:50
medium of speed and penetration, which you know, we'll find out
3:57
shortly here as we we do our speed test with the different
4:00
varieties. Not looking forward to the
4:04
process of making sure that everyone registers on the
4:07
Garvin. You know, it's just a lot of
4:09
arrows to shoot per setup, but it needs to be done because
4:14
that's the only way to decide, you know, is is to do those
4:19
different speed tests per build. And when I say build, I'm
4:23
talking about like 100 grain broadhead verse a 125 or 100
4:29
with a 20 grain weight or 40 grains or you know, insert
4:35
weight inserts. There's a lot of variety you can
4:38
do that still keep me within the limits that, you know, MFJJ, the
4:42
Josh Jones says is acceptable for me, which based on that,
4:47
we're going with a no more than 200 grains out front and I'm not
4:51
even getting close to that. And a minimum of 15% FOC, which
5:03
I know you had picked the 296th grain arrow, but you realize
5:08
that's like that's like a tack arrow.
5:13
I don't think it's too light, I mean.
5:15
That's like what Britney shoots her Total Archery Challenge.
5:17
No, I'm pretty sure hers are like a 1000 spine kid.
5:21
Arrow. Sure, sure, sure.
5:22
But total weight of the arrow? Yeah, I asked her.
5:26
That's about the weight of her tack arrows.
5:31
That's light. So I'm thinking somewhere around
5:34
like the maybe 3:20 to 3:40 mark, which gets me to like 18%
5:40
FOC, but we'll just find out when we I want to see.
5:45
The biggest thing to me is going to looking at those speeds and
5:50
then we come home and penetration test each one of
5:53
those weights seeing if there's a big enough difference.
5:58
My guess is there's not going to be.
6:01
And if that's the case, I just pick the slightly heavier one,
6:04
right? Yeah.
6:06
I mean, what do I pick the slightly?
6:08
Faster one, that's up to you what you value more for axe for
6:13
access deer hunt because we do have access deer.
6:15
You probably want the fastest setup and aim low.
6:19
I'm aim underneath the. I can't.
6:21
I can't wait for access, honey. Speaking of arrows, I find this
6:25
interesting. I let the the viewers decide
6:30
what arrow I'm going to hunt with next week or whatever.
6:34
Then they all pick the same thing you've been using.
6:36
Pretty close. So I gave four options.
6:38
I gave 407 grain, so HLR with 100 grain out front, four O 7
6:43
total. Then I gave one that same arrow
6:46
with a 125 tip which is like 432.
6:49
And then I gave a heavy option, RIP S S that was 4544 and then
6:57
one that was like 560. I thought for sure people were
7:00
going to vote that I should run the 5:44 or the 560.
7:04
And I'm I'll have to go count the votes.
7:06
There's a lot of them, but I'm pretty sure what 1 is the number
7:10
two choice which is the 432 grain 8.
7:15
So it's the same. It's the same arrow I ran in
7:18
Mexico but with a 125 grain tip. Yeah, an extra 25.
7:22
Extra 25 grain. So it sounds like I'm going to
7:25
be hunting with 432 grain arrow with a 125 beast 2 inch
7:31
aluminum. Now when we go to make.
7:34
Our which we do sell on both disciples.com to HLR and the
7:37
Beast. So go get yourself some entries
7:39
and run the best shit. Yeah, now I say, though when we
7:43
go and and and test my speeds, I say just for the sake of it, we
7:49
test the the heavy arrow. Oh, sure.
7:52
Yeah, we will. I got a few of them.
7:54
Just because, you know, I like to see the that's a, that's a
7:57
big difference in what's that like over 100 grain?
8:02
Yeah, A. 130 grains. On the heaviest, just to see
8:07
what that is with, you know, the average dude who pulls 70 lbs
8:11
with an an average draw way, how much that affects the speed.
8:16
Now I know people say, oh, you can map that it's about 1, you
8:19
know, one feet a second per per pound or or whatever grain,
8:25
whatever the equation is. But I'd like to see if that
8:27
compares, like, computes somewhat close, yeah, by
8:31
actually running it through the garment.
8:33
Right, my draw length is actually longer than average.
8:36
I think average is probably like 28 and a half 28.
8:41
Oh, yours is 20. I was thinking 27 1/2.
8:43
Yours is 29 1/2. 29 1/2 So I have a.
8:46
Pretty Do you have long arms? I do have long arms and and you
8:50
know what I'm saying? You got long arms.
8:51
Yeah, but but anyway, yeah, that's been fun.
8:54
So Christmas episode, I do have the new bow tech.
8:58
I do have it in my possession. It is what I'm going to be
9:01
hunting with. Yeah.
9:03
So in not that box, but another box.
9:06
I have the bow, It's built up, it's ready to go fast.
9:11
The speeds when we ran it through the chronograph.
9:14
Oh, you know what I just thought.
9:15
About geez, a la peak. Was to make sure that video
9:18
doesn't come out. I know I already scheduled it
9:20
man. No, no, not that one.
9:22
I mean this like like our tape making video because you're
9:26
going to obviously use the new bow to make your tape.
9:28
Correct, that'll. Have to come out after the day
9:30
of your day. This is the tough part about
9:33
content creation. We're making so many, we're
9:35
churning out so many. But I've been yearning for a
9:38
churning on videos and we've been churning out so many.
9:42
That and when it's unreleased product, you got to be careful
9:45
on when you release them. But anyways, yeah, the bow is
9:48
blistering hot. I couldn't believe the speeds.
9:51
When we freaking pumped that sectionally fast.
9:54
And and the draw is nice. So I'm I'm amped up to shoot
9:57
this bow. I'm amped up to hunt with it.
9:58
Now I know I'm hunting with 432 grain arrow, which is awesome.
10:02
I'm going to be getting blazing speeds with that arrow.
10:08
So it's going to be fast and a good weight.
10:11
That thing going to be thumping stuff.
10:13
So really excited you're going to run the virtue love the.
10:17
Virtue. We're very efficient.
10:19
Mat's also going to be running it in Arizona.
10:21
So we'll have we'll have two people running the Virtue.
10:24
Scott will be running the Hoyt, and then Ted will have the
10:27
Bowtech SS34 and I'll have the Bowtech.
10:31
Can't say the name, but but yeah, pretty exciting.
10:34
So I thought it may be fun for this Christmas episode to #1
10:40
thank the fans and the viewers once again.
10:44
Without them, we don't we, we would have to have regular jobs
10:48
and I prefer this task. No, I prefer this task and
10:52
that's a blessing. But I thought it would be fun to
10:55
maybe talk about a couple of highlight what.
11:03
It's a long pause. Yeah, I can't.
11:05
When you talk and I'm talking, I can't focus my mind like it's
11:09
short circuits. But you said what happened.
11:15
I was commenting on your long pause.
11:17
Oh anyway, my thought for Christmas was to potentially
11:25
discuss like a few highlights from the year.
11:28
This is the last podcast of this year.
11:31
Is that correct or is there one more?
11:32
No, there's one more on the 3rd. That one's going to be a guest
11:35
show. Yeah.
11:36
So I think for this one, it's our last one, just the two of
11:39
us. Which Christmas is a better
11:41
holiday than New Year's anyways? So.
11:43
OK. So I think we do a year end.
11:45
This is the last podcast without a guest of the year.
11:49
I think we should talk over some some highlights from the year
11:53
and and maybe kind of reflect a little bit on on things that
11:57
have happened. So why don't you go ahead and it
12:00
could be either stuff that was on the channel or or separate
12:04
stuff. What are some of the highlights
12:06
for for you this year? Let's see.
12:12
Well, I can't forget it feels like years ago now and I only
12:18
got out of the Navy like 9 months ago.
12:21
April, May to July, August, September, October, November,
12:24
December 9 months. Does it feel like it was this
12:27
year? Do you what that I got out?
12:31
Does it feel like it was this year?
12:33
Yeah. No, it does feel longer ago.
12:35
Yeah, I feel like so much we've been doing since then that like,
12:41
and it was a little like on like auto autopilot the last few
12:47
months anyways. So I just feel like I've been
12:49
doing this a lot longer than the last nine months, but that maybe
12:54
that's the most exciting thing because that was like a big, big
12:58
transition. You know, we didn't think that
13:01
we'd be jumping straight into we thought I'd be having another
13:07
job and I we look, I looked for one.
13:09
You know, that's not to say I didn't went on some job
13:13
interviews that none panned out and kept working.
13:16
You know, my normal stuff for you at the same time, and we
13:20
just managed to keep getting by. That's not to say, you know,
13:28
sometimes it's you're like, oh God, things get a little tighter
13:32
when you're you're, you know, kind of, I guess a sole income
13:36
household. You're not.
13:37
We both get paid but you paid me so.
13:42
It's yeah, it is a sole income is how that works.
13:45
Not really, I get an income. Pretty much.
13:47
I mean, but you said a household income.
13:49
We're the same household. It's it's confusing.
13:52
I know what you're. Saying, but that's probably the
13:56
the the best thing because I think I don't think we would
13:59
have made it much longer, not like made it as a channel or
14:03
anything, but like made it much longer where if I were having to
14:07
go into the office daily and you are taking trips.
14:14
I just don't think that like we would continue to expand as fast
14:21
as we want to. Unless I hired somebody.
14:23
Else exactly. And then you're talking like.
14:27
Which then what's the point? Exactly.
14:29
And like they're going to charge more, you know, because they're
14:34
they're professional job. And then you're looking at like,
14:38
you know, say you hire the camera person to film, but say
14:41
they don't have editing experience.
14:43
So then you also have to pay an editor if you wanted them to
14:46
edit anything or, or edit the still photography or, you know,
14:50
make the designs for the T-shirts.
14:53
That's a separate fee. Like, you know, just different
14:56
people that that money compounds faster at their individual
15:01
rates. Or some much simplified one for
15:04
myself. And it's efficient.
15:08
Efficient to work for it. We do spend a lot of time
15:11
together. I mean relationship wise, of
15:12
course, that's kind of can be tricky.
15:15
But we, you know, live together, work together, do stuff
15:19
together. I mean we're pretty much
15:20
together all the time. So that's tricky.
15:22
You know you. Ever see the meme with the two
15:24
toilets next to each other? No, I'm glad I haven't.
15:27
We have. Sent it to you before.
15:29
It's probably back in the day when you don't look at.
15:31
I don't. You just give them a thumbs up.
15:33
I. Still don't look at them.
15:34
When people send me stuff, I just.
15:36
I sent a funny 1 of Taxider hear me of a mouse on a strip pole.
15:41
I probably didn't look at it. I didn't send it to you.
15:43
I sent it to Britney because I knew she would laugh at it and
15:45
you would just ignore it. So yeah.
15:49
But I think we've gotten much better at like trip planning
15:55
where, you know, I'll go on a trip and go hang out with
15:58
Brittany or whatever. And you're you've did did
16:02
Mexico, you got 1 coming up at the end of February, whereas
16:06
I've got a trip at the beginning of February.
16:09
You know, that's some nice elongated time apart.
16:15
Yeah, absolutely is needed when you spend every day.
16:18
Luckily, I mean like, I don't put my desk next to your desk.
16:22
Your desk is the bed you love. It's the bed or the cow or.
16:26
You love to work in bed as your favorite.
16:27
You just lay bed down and like you're.
16:30
So I just like stack the pillows up and I can put the computer
16:32
right there. So it's like eye level.
16:34
You do love it, you do. So anyway, you got any other
16:38
highlights or you, you know. Well, that's one.
16:41
I figured we could go back and forth.
16:43
So that's that's one. I mean, for me, obviously the
16:47
engagement would be like maybe the top of my list, near the top
16:50
of my list. I'm very exciting.
16:52
Also feels like a very long time ago.
16:55
But it really was only like 6 months, seven months, you know,
16:59
it's not that long ago. Yeah, that one was really cool.
17:02
I mean, obviously I was excited. That goat hunt was fun though.
17:08
Just Hawaii trip in general was a lot of fun.
17:10
So I'm excited to have another one on the list.
17:12
But since we're only reminiscing, yeah, I don't know.
17:17
I guess just that whole hunt was cool.
17:21
I do think that having you, you know, to piggyback, join forces
17:27
with me is, is, you know, a large responsibility for me to
17:34
take on somebody, you know, But it was well worth it.
17:38
And obviously you're the so good at what you do that it was a no
17:42
brainer. And then obviously, you know,
17:45
just the growth has been cool of the brand.
17:48
I mean, we've hired, you know, someone to take care of the
17:51
e-mail campaigns. We've hired somebody to work on
17:55
a project that we have still, you know, aren't talking about.
17:58
But it's been taken forever. And you've been huge on that
18:02
too. So yeah, I don't know, just I
18:05
guess all that stuff. And then, yeah, I don't know, I
18:08
guess I'll kick it back to you. But I'd say the engagement, the
18:10
Hawaii trip would be would be on on my list for sure.
18:13
And I think the video killer, you know, since we do top make
18:17
content, the goat hunt video was good.
18:20
The shot footage was good. I would have wished you you came
18:23
around. But I was focused on the
18:25
original spot that he was you. Probably started daydreaming
18:29
like me with how long? I was what I guess what I
18:32
started daydreaming about was watching your hand like I was
18:36
just watching your hand to hold it and hold it like literally
18:39
watching this hand and I'm like, see, going to shoot.
18:43
Like I was set up ready to go and then all of a sudden you
18:47
spun and I was like, OK, let me try.
18:51
Like, you know. And and that's when it comes
18:53
like that fast. You can't anticipate.
18:56
I'm not in your brain to know when the shots going to go off.
18:58
I wasn't in the brain either. For about 25 seconds I was.
19:01
I think it was longer than that. I was up in the sky.
19:04
I was freaking daydreaming. And then I go, oh, shoot that
19:07
note passed and I was shot him because I drew on the wrong one.
19:11
That's what happened. And I didn't want to shoot the
19:13
the wrong 1. So that was fun.
19:15
I mean, obviously the engagement video for again, it's got to be
19:19
our biggest video of the year that I would think it was huge,
19:24
which is pretty cool. Millions of views on that.
19:27
Pretty cool. So, yeah, I mean that trip just
19:31
for personal reasons, you know, you saying yes, the excitement
19:35
of it getting the goat, we worked really hard for that
19:38
goat. And then, you know, the content
19:42
created there as well. So for me, just the whole Hawaii
19:45
trip would be up there. Yeah.
19:47
What else you got? Let's let's say like maybe 3 a
19:49
piece. This is where it'd be cool to
19:52
have some clips on the TV. But you know, anyway, if you
19:55
want to watch it, go go watch the Hawaii video and it's got a
19:59
picture of me, the goat on the thumbnail.
20:01
You can go watch it. Yeah, Now that hunt, I think
20:05
that trip wouldn't call it a hunt because it was, it was a
20:08
mixture of both, which I quite enjoyed.
20:13
I think next time, like you said, we'll really segregate it
20:15
to where, you know, a specific portion of days are dedicated to
20:22
the hunt and then the rest is to vacation.
20:25
But we managed to do both and and I think that was cool
20:30
because it was really the first trip, gosh, in four years that
20:33
we've ever taken that was like planned as in part being a
20:39
vacation. Like we don't really take
20:42
vacations to per thing. You know, you could call things
20:45
like TAC that are fun, they're fun vacation, but you know, it's
20:50
a group thing and what not. And not to say vacations can't
20:53
be a group thing, but I don't think we've ever done.
20:59
We have not done anything like that, so that was cool, cool to
21:05
do. Sort of did on San Francisco a
21:07
little bit. Even then, we were filming with
21:09
Paige, you know? Like, exactly like, and we
21:11
literally just drove through San Diego.
21:13
It was like San Francisco. Well, we got that little hotel
21:16
there or the Airbnb right there on the winery.
21:18
I thought that was kind of. Cool.
21:20
Oh yeah, Yeah, yeah. Past, past.
21:22
San Fran, Weird little town that that was a that was fun too.
21:26
What a fun trip that was. But anyway, you got any other
21:29
things you want to date on? Let's let's see, let's see,
21:32
let's see next. I guess I would say, you know,
21:41
just I guess like bigger moments and I'll get all of them get
21:44
filmed really. But the, I thought the August
21:52
deer hunt was because we always have our January hunt that's
21:57
long and that's like the longest trip we do.
22:02
But you know me, like we could just go live in the forest and
22:08
I'd be a happy camper. And so going on that trip where
22:14
we spent like weeks out between two states, but I.
22:19
Think it was 5 weeks. Yeah, that was just that.
22:24
That's just, it's just fun. And like, people popped in and
22:27
out, you know, as. You know, that was my favorite
22:30
part actually, was having kind of a rotating camp.
22:33
Yeah, like I do wish we could have gotten more of them, their
22:36
tags filled. Wouldn't one of that been cool?
22:39
And we got 2. Well, and it's not to say that
22:41
the people that came in and out didn't get attempts like arrows
22:44
were launched, you know? It was not.
22:48
I will say, I mean, that hunt, man, it was, it was, it was one
22:55
of those rare hunts where like every time you, you know,
22:58
because this is, you know, your public land hunt.
23:01
It was one of those rare hunts where when you come back, it was
23:04
like you, you weren't surprised if someone got a shot.
23:07
You almost expected that somebody would.
23:09
But as a collective group, our shooting percentage was pretty
23:13
dismal. And by the way, just so everyone
23:17
knows, like I, I wasn't hunting. I think people maybe don't know
23:19
that. Yeah, like, I had filled my tag
23:22
in January, so I did not have A tag.
23:24
So I was filming and boy, let me tell you, was my anxiety through
23:28
the roof filming these freaking crazy bastards.
23:31
But yeah, that hunt was, it was a social thing.
23:34
It was social and surprisingly for a public land, you know,
23:41
just like your OTC tag, like you just expected to see shooter
23:49
deer. I'm not saying all of them were
23:50
giants, but like you were going to see a deer you could shoot at
23:54
every day. And it's like, when does that
23:56
happen? Like never, not very often.
24:00
And so it was just cool to see so many and a different style.
24:08
You could call it you know, then then our spot and stock glassing
24:13
from knobs. Well, it's timber, you know, so
24:15
you can't really. See.
24:17
Very far. So it was just fun fun like, you
24:22
know, every meal was basically in the morning.
24:24
She'd come back and you you grill outside.
24:27
And the only thing that could made it a little better was like
24:30
a few more nights. But there was a fire ban for a
24:33
good portion that we were there. Then.
24:35
Remember the sign at the beginning?
24:38
You know, a fire every so often, every few nights with a with a
24:42
hot cocoa. Definitely wasn't cold enough
24:44
for a hot cocoa. Also having the elk come through
24:47
camp that one time. Oh, wild.
24:49
Yeah. Just seeing that many elk, you
24:52
know, we got it. We have an ad.
24:55
Skip this ad Roadrunner Sports supposedly very good running
24:59
shoe store. On a side note, yeah, but yeah,
25:02
No, really, really. I agree.
25:04
That was a. Great.
25:04
That's kind of what I'm expecting this January hunt to
25:08
feel a little more like a little more relaxed in the sense of
25:12
like the hunts not relax because it's a you know, it can be
25:15
grueling sometimes when you go on foot for a ways.
25:21
But like the just the camaraderie back at camp with,
25:25
you know, camping this year instead of a hotel and, you
25:28
know, maybe being able to do a fire and, you know, just cook
25:31
out and and hang out, you know, going to town every once in a
25:36
while. Yeah, I love that town, too.
25:39
I'm not going to disclose what town.
25:41
Yeah, what a good spot. All right, let me think about
25:44
this. I mean, for me.
25:48
Well, I went out of the country three times this year.
25:51
Yeah, which is pretty dope. I'd have to put Africa up there
25:57
getting to meet Travis and you know, film with them and get in,
26:02
get in the grind. That hunt was a grind.
26:04
I think people don't maybe realize how hard that was to get
26:07
5 animals spot in stock in in Africa in in whatever 8 days
26:13
span. That was hard.
26:14
Correct me if I'm wrong. Like most of the time in Africa,
26:18
it's blind sitting when it's archery.
26:19
It's all people do, basically. Over water.
26:23
I was very proud of that and we worked really hard.
26:26
I mean, we worked really, really hard to pull it off and to get
26:30
all 5 was just, I mean, very low odds we would have pulled it off
26:35
in the amount of time. And we pulled it off and he
26:38
nailed the camera shots. I nailed the shooting.
26:41
You know, for the most part, my headshot was crazy.
26:46
That was another one of our most viral clips of the year.
26:48
Was that headshot, of course. Which I think is so cool though,
26:53
because it goes like I think you even you did like the dot thing,
26:56
right? The slow I.
26:57
Have not I need? To oh, you need to do that.
27:00
Yeah, because like that today what I think people don't
27:03
understand. Maybe from that clip I'll edit
27:06
that. Right, back to this and put it
27:07
up today. Yeah, that, but that was not an
27:10
animal. You were going for broadside,
27:13
you were going for a frontal. And so if you put that pin on
27:17
there like I, I knew it because you told me the story.
27:22
So I think a lot of people watching the clip are like, why
27:25
is he shooting in the 1st place? Well, that was a smaller animal,
27:28
right? Of the African animals, you are
27:30
shooting a heavy arrow specifically built for African
27:34
animals. And so a frontal is perfectly
27:39
acceptable. It was only 30 yards.
27:42
And it's just a matter of that animal is a skittish little
27:45
thing. And that's, that's what I'm
27:47
just, I'm expecting it for actually.
27:49
Like I'm literally expecting to aim 3 inches below the stuff of
27:56
an axis. I'm so nervous about it but.
27:58
Man, that that shot was like, yeah, it was, I knew exactly
28:04
what happened. I you just I knew by the sound I
28:07
had scold him. I I knew it.
28:09
And and Travis in the video, he goes, you know, knock another
28:12
arrow. I go, no, that was a brain shot.
28:14
I just knew what you could hear it.
28:15
I never heard that. I've shot a lot of stuff, but
28:18
I've never heard a noise like that.
28:20
And I was like, I know I scold them, you know?
28:22
You didn't go through the eyeball, right?
28:24
You went through the. Skull right behind the eye and
28:27
hit him in the brain and thumped them.
28:29
But that clip went bananas as well.
28:32
So I mean, like, I think the top, it'd be fun to go over like
28:35
the top viral clips this year, But a few that I know were
28:39
probably the top three off top my head were the engagement
28:43
probably #1 the skull shot went bananas and then the Turkey shot
28:51
that I did believe. It Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
28:53
yeah. That one went nuts and the blast
28:55
buck that I shot where he's like, it's total carnage.
28:58
Well, just such a good camera. And that's what that's what.
29:00
Great filming that he does. And that's why I wanted to talk,
29:03
you know, say that Travis filming with Travis was one of
29:06
my highlights 1 because he's a really good hunter.
29:08
So I enjoyed hunting with him and he's a out of the world
29:12
filmer. I was telling people on on
29:15
multiple hunts, I go, hey, if you're going to pay a filmer to
29:18
film your hunt, that dude should be like your first call because
29:23
he's so good and he only he's. Only.
29:27
He's only going to get more expensive as he gets more and
29:29
more opportunities. I'm like, you need to call that
29:32
dude and have him film your hunts.
29:33
I would for sure. He's out of this world.
29:36
He's so good and he's just fun, dude.
29:38
Like, I really enjoyed Africa. That was really a highlight for
29:41
me. It was stressful too, you know,
29:44
I never been to Africa and I'm going by myself.
29:46
It's a long ways and that makes you nervous.
29:49
But like I always say, as you accomplish more in life that you
29:54
never thought you probably would, it's important to
29:57
continue to do stuff that scares you and puts you out of your
30:00
comfort zone. Because the second you start
30:02
being just comfortable all the time, even if you're at a bar
30:05
that like is higher than you anticipated, then you're just
30:08
stuck at that bar. I don't want to be stuck at that
30:11
bar. I want to keep going.
30:12
And the only way to do that is to be like, do stuff that you're
30:16
nervous to do. And then guess what?
30:18
Once you do it, you're not nervous anymore, which unlocks a
30:22
whole new level of potential. And then you do something,
30:25
you're nervous that there bam, another whole unlock.
30:28
Yeah, that's that's a pro tip for people is like, do shit that
30:31
scares you, it makes you nervous and just do it anyways.
30:34
But that would be another one for me, the Africa hunt.
30:37
And and you know what, I kind of touched on it.
30:38
I'll throw our Turkey double in there because we worked really
30:42
hard to get you that Turkey and it didn't go super smooth, but
30:46
we got it. And then, you know, I wasn't
30:48
even planning to shoot one, but then, you know, you dip out the
30:51
blind hilarious. Shoot the Turkey 70 yard
30:54
pinwheel and that one once again, the video goes bananas,
31:00
you know, but it was great because that video had a lot of
31:03
things that made it good. One is I thump that you hear my
31:07
arrow and then you go. Oh jeez, Martha, you and the
31:14
like Javelina cartwheel in the air trying to fly away and and
31:19
all its, you know, brothers and sisters are are chasing after
31:23
and it's just trying to get away.
31:24
Like it, it was, it was K. It was very similar to like,
31:31
like javelina hunting. There's the chaos of javelina
31:34
hunting which I find so fun and anxiety filled.
31:40
Gosh, that was funny though. That was really good.
31:42
But but yeah, let me toss it back to you.
31:45
We'll do like two or three of these, maybe like you say,
31:48
another one and then we'll do one more lap and then we'll
31:50
maybe, I don't know, talk about whatever we want.
31:52
But I think this is kind of fun. I think the viewers will, you
31:55
know, probably watched a lot of these moments and it's fun to
31:58
kind of relive. And I'd be curious if you guys
32:00
actually watching or listening on Spotify have any moments or
32:05
videos that we did that you really liked, whether it was
32:07
like, you know, collab or a hunt or you know, just some goofy
32:11
shit we did. So drop it down in the comments.

32:39
giveaway boat. Disciples.com Every $10 spent 5
32:42
entries. Yes, well, you already touched
32:45
on the the Turkey hunt that's up there on the list.
32:49
I mean, Turkey hunting sometimes can be pretty uneventful here in
32:55
California. I guess, like you don't have to
32:56
do too much crazy calling to get them to come in, especially like
33:02
when like people know where they're coming and and things
33:05
like that. You kind of like do all of that.
33:07
It's almost like whitetail hunting here.
33:09
It reminds me of like where you've done that, the pre
33:12
scouting our work to know where like the whitetail, like the
33:15
ones on your property hang out, you set up your tree stand.
33:18
Like it's very similar to Turkey hunting where like, you know,
33:21
kind of where they may hang out. You get your blind set up in
33:24
advance in the morning and you know, and that's that.
33:30
But still fun. I like Turkey hunting's at the
33:34
top of my list of things I wish I did more.
33:39
It's just Hard Out Here. Like unless you start going door
33:44
to door to get permissions, I feel like finding turkeys on
33:50
public land that don't have 800 other Turkey hunters coming out
33:54
on opening weekends. Maybe I'd have more luck in the
33:57
fall than the spring because everybody loves spring Turkey
34:00
hunting. I find fall just as active, at
34:04
least where I've I've seen it here.
34:07
But yeah, I so I broke my Turkey curse, as I call it this this
34:12
year finally. And that was pleasant.
34:17
Have to jump back on the horse for Turkey season, you know,
34:20
next year May and maybe find some on public land like maybe
34:24
that could be my next endeavor is to get a public land
34:28
California Turkey first my my private land.
34:32
Turkey think I'll just stick to thump in them after they run
34:35
away and attack your bird and then I'll.
34:37
Just say fine, you know? Stack pin.
34:39
Wheels if that many even come in on public land.
34:41
I mean they'll usually all probably groups, but I'll.
34:44
Probably go back to one of my good properties.
34:47
I'll go with you, Yeah, but aside from the Turkey hunt.
34:52
So yeah, hit me with another. Highlight, you know, maybe.
34:56
That was sort of a. What did Britney do with us?
34:58
Pennsylvania, Penn Penn. And that was a fairly big group,
35:03
right? It was me, you the.
35:05
Last day was probably the biggest group of all time at
35:08
attack. I know I would love to do attack
35:11
where like maybe not all of them we bring with us, but like we're
35:14
like Joey Scott, Chuck, Matt, me, you Britney.
35:19
I mean that's seven right there that come with us.
35:23
Ted did finally comes back because he didn't do attack last
35:26
year, right? No, no, that's eight people.
35:29
I think Ted's scared of flying, maybe.
35:31
Yeah. And we've been traveling more
35:32
far back, but he's going to have to get over that because next
35:34
year, I mean, you know, the plan, I won't say, yeah, it'll
35:41
be interesting. So, but doing attack that we did
35:45
with Britney because I've never done one with her.
35:48
Now she's a bit, you know, Britney, she's a bit more
35:51
anxious angsty than me sometimes.
35:54
So sometimes you have to keep her cool.
35:56
But otherwise, I think just generally fun to have like
35:59
attack with like a lot of people again, because there's been ones
36:05
in and out as Ted couldn't come this year and and I think at
36:09
least one Matt didn't go to that.
36:11
Usually he's at all the ones we do.
36:14
And by having Scott Scott come this year and Joey like 2 new
36:18
people that haven't come to attack with us before.
36:21
Hit like 5. I was going to attack with Scott
36:23
before you were even born. Scott's come to attack before.
36:26
Him and I've been to like 3 or 4 together.
36:30
Really. Yes, we went to one in 2019,
36:33
man. I didn't know that.
36:34
I thought that was like his first tact.
36:37
No, it was Joey's first. Time him and I've been to Utah
36:39
like 4 times together you. Crazy.
36:41
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
36:43
That's why him and Chuck love going to Utah.
36:45
Yeah, I would go this year in Brian Head, but unfortunately
36:48
we're going to be ex's steer running.
36:50
Yeah, again. So.
36:52
And what's it called? Hard horns, javelinas, and.
36:57
Hooveshornshideaways.com And I know that there's and I'm not
37:01
just saying this is a sale, by the way, I'm not, I don't make
37:03
money on this. I'm just going to hunt.
37:05
Yeah, I there's only a few spots left and I'm not just saying
37:09
that they're like, oh, go buy them.
37:10
Like legit, like there's a very few left.
37:12
So if you want to go hit that website, get the information.
37:15
Like I said, I don't get anything from it.
37:17
We're just going to hunt. Like I know.
37:19
Humble and poppers, please. Sir.
37:22
Can I have some more slop in my ball?
37:27
Yeah. Side note to that hunt though,
37:30
what I think is really cool about that place, I didn't know
37:33
anything until you told me the long name of the website.
37:37
And I went and looked at it and I thought like those hunts were
37:41
just like ones that they had also dedicated to us and live a
37:45
say being there. But what I think is very cool
37:49
about their property, unlike many who I think probably
37:53
oversell hunts, these are literally, I didn't realize that
37:58
the only two hunt weeks they do in the entire year for axis
38:03
deer. So you know that it's very well
38:07
managed property when it comes to like their deer population.
38:11
So I'm excited to see that, you know, judge that, feel it, see
38:17
it, whatever. But knowing that those are the
38:21
only two axis deer hunts of the year, you just know that it's
38:25
not getting oversold and over visited and whatnot, but also
38:31
means like one, it's like one of the most skittish deer animals
38:37
populations, species. That's what I want species.
38:41
But also because it's not overpopulated with people
38:47
throughout the year. You're also then ensuring that
38:53
this is no deer that's just going to stand there, munch on
38:57
like, you know, a Bush it's eating and stare at you and
39:01
you're blind or however you choose to hunt and be like,
39:04
shoot me, you know, like it's probably going to be just as
39:09
skittish as any any other deer you encounter on public land and
39:14
whatnot. So I'm imagining I can't, I'm
39:16
just thinking about how tough that Hunt's going to be for me.
39:19
I'm I'm very nervous about it. But anyways, to sum up mine,
39:23
it's probably the Pennsylvania tack.
39:25
It was also a new tack we've never done before.
39:28
It's now I think the biggest one.
39:29
I think it outsells Utah now and so many people there.
39:35
We also paired it with the our little tourist vacation we did
39:41
afterwards. That was fun going to a
39:44
Pittsburgh Pirates game. Pirates.
39:49
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I, I do.
39:51
I do. I did enjoy the the vacation
39:53
portion. I love shooting, too.
39:56
I'll always have fond memories of that last afternoon when we
40:00
shot with, Oh my gosh, it was you, me, Joey Scott.
40:09
Brittany Jean Outdoors, Sarah Beaumar, Josh Beaumar, Josh
40:14
Jones, Dodds The Hunter Podcast Guys.
40:18
Which is 2. That's 12 people.
40:21
You said Josh Jones, right? Yeah, yeah, at least 12, at
40:24
least 12. And we mobbed through that last.
40:28
Well, well, people are like. Oh, you, look at you.
40:30
Influencers holding it up, I said.
40:32
First of all, we're the last ones on the.
40:34
Court there were like a group of two in front of us and going
40:36
faster. Than we were pushing up.
40:38
We're pushing a group of 2 is very impressive.
40:40
Oh, and Micah Morgan was there filming.
40:42
Yeah, that was amazing. That was amazing.
40:45
I had a lot of fun. There is a video from that shoot
40:48
on the Beaumar Bow Hunting Channel if you want to watch it.
40:52
I also lost my release that last day, but that only downside.
40:55
But that is one of my highlights as well.
40:57
That was a great tack. I like Montana being beat, tired
41:01
and shooting with Rebecca, Joey and being so gassed.
41:05
Not my best performance day. I would love to do that tack
41:08
again on a more relaxed schedule.
41:12
I remember I was doing that match where we were doing the
41:14
playoff round and I, I, I made it to the final, but I remember
41:18
like the last like wow, 8 targets.
41:21
I just could not shoot anymore. I was so my mind was like, you
41:24
can't do this. Anymore and that is such a if
41:27
you want to talk about a beautiful scenic tack location
41:31
it's. Gorgeous.
41:31
Holy moly. Like if you want like a true
41:34
mountain tack now, I don't know. I hear Colorado's like that too.
41:38
Like steep and when? I've never done Colorado's, but
41:41
Montana's just pretty. I got another highlight.
41:47
OK. I'm ready for it.
41:48
Yeah. I just thought of another one.
41:50
I really enjoyed my my road trip with Scott where we did the
41:56
wheat the the working class Bow Hunters podcast.
42:01
I thought that was a lot of fun. We got to see some cool parts of
42:05
the country that I've never been and also film with Ethan and do
42:09
a podcast with Ethan. Just fun, fun little road trip.
42:13
I mean, it was driving is it's OK, I know we're.
42:19
Doing well, I mean, hold on, how much driving did you really do?
42:27
Well, mostly I was passenger Princess, which I do enjoy more
42:30
than driving. Yeah, I think you napped from
42:32
what I hear the majority of the drive, but I love, you know, so
42:37
I don't think you can really complain about Rd. trips yet.
42:40
I love napping. Yeah, I do love napping, but but
42:44
yeah, that was fun. There's a lot I don't know, good
42:47
stuff. And then next year we've talked
42:49
about a million times, but we're really excited for for next
42:53
year, more of the same, but a lot of new stuff too.
42:55
It's going to be great, going to be fun, going to be.
42:58
Well, you got a lot of. Tournaments.
43:01
Lot of tournaments, you know, doing a lot more target stuff,
43:04
setting up your proven to be your target outdoor rig.
43:08
Because fun fact, the proven 34 is on the target list as well as
43:12
the hunting list on Bo Bo Tech's website.
43:16
I should have those bars, they should be like here pretty soon.
43:20
Yeah, that's a bit, you know, in itself is we're going to we're
43:23
going to transition that hunting rig into a target outdoor rig.
43:28
And that's some stuff that like you sure we filmed a lot of 3D
43:31
shoots and whatnot, but not in like a competition setting per
43:35
SE or series of yeah, but not where we've done the series of
43:39
the competition, you know, this year anticipating doing the full
43:45
Arizona Triple Crown series minus I think one that you can't
43:48
make it to. And then you have Vegas.
43:52
So just lots of you know, target stuff for you this year, which I
43:55
think will be fun because being that your channel is literally
44:00
only archery, which again also makes it so unique and compared
44:04
to like just the general hundreds of hunting channels
44:07
that are out there that are archery.
44:09
But you know, the guns come out and there's nothing wrong with
44:12
that during God and what not. But you know you're not a
44:16
hunting channel and I. Can I'm an archery channel?
44:19
Yeah, well, I've talked about this on the pod before, and so I
44:24
think that's cool because it allows people who are really
44:27
into archery to see all the different facets of archery from
44:31
the fun 3DS you can do like tax. Or backyard.
44:35
Stuff backyard stuff to games, you know, to doing target and
44:39
competitive, you know, nature to hunting.
44:43
There's just so much that you can do with a bow year round and
44:46
you never have to put it away. I love it.
44:48
I just love life. It's more life.
44:50
I love it. It's kind of like Inception, you
44:53
know, Like we're filming this because it's coming out on
44:56
Christmas Eve, but it's not Christmas Eve.
44:59
It's actually Monday and we're talking about videos in this
45:06
that we haven't even filmed yet that are being filmed this
45:08
afternoon but won't come out until after this pod comes out.
45:14
And that like it's just. It's like a web.
45:18
Yeah, it's funny, but let's say, you know, we already, we mapped
45:24
out, we sat down as again we get busier and busier, you know,
45:27
turn more into the business side of things where we really do,
45:32
you know, sit down once a week to discuss plans and scheduling
45:37
and and things like that. But so you know what's on the
45:42
calendar as of right now, basically from now until August
45:48
1st. But if there were something for
45:50
next year that you could add to your calendar that's not yet in
45:59
the realm of like Bo disciples, be it, whatever, what would it
46:05
be you'd want to add to your calendar next year?
46:15
I don't know. I've always been pretty drawn to
46:18
doing like sports crossover stuff.
46:23
So for example, like filming with an MLB player who I could
46:30
do like, say they're a pitcher, I could do some at bats off them
46:33
and then like also face off shooting and like do another
46:36
third challenge. If we could add some stuff like
46:39
that, sports collabs or like say I did one with a girl who's like
46:43
a Olympic gymnast or something and I go try to do like a gym.
46:47
I got it if I could see you on. AI go try to do that yeah
46:51
exactly I teach her I teach her how to shoot and she.
46:54
Tries to teach you how to do a carpet.
46:56
Yeah, that's the type of shit I would like to do.
46:59
And we live, we live, we live so close to the Olympic Training
47:03
Center that it's well within the realm of possibility.
47:06
I would get you a leotard and some leggings specific for that
47:09
video I. Just need to actively reach out
47:10
to like different sports people. But sports people I'd love to do
47:15
like work with an actor on shooting or something and then
47:19
like I could like film a skit with them where I do like
47:22
acting. I don't know stuff that like
47:24
crosses both of us over but brings the sport to new eyes,
47:28
new audiences. That's what I want.
47:30
I would like to do stuff like that and you know, shout out to
47:33
Cam. Cam does a really good job with
47:35
sort of a similar thing or a similar thing for sure that.
47:39
Should be more of a fun vibe, you know?
47:41
You try their stuff, they try yours.
47:43
Yeah, usually they're like, you know, when you're on Cam's show,
47:46
you're in his element, you know, running, lifting, shooting.
47:50
But talking about. Talking about their stuff.
47:52
Yeah, I would like to I think it would be so fun to go do their
47:56
stuff. Yeah.
47:57
Like a like a rock climber. It could be anything like I'm
48:00
interest. So if you know somebody, if
48:01
you're watching this and you're or a pro kayaker, reach out to
48:04
me and and I'd love to do it because you never know who
48:07
listens or watches the stuff. So if you're you know, Matt
48:10
Damon watching this right now, reach out and we'll do a skit
48:14
and shoot bows together, you know what I mean?
48:16
Or, or whatever, but that would be for me.
48:19
What about what about for you? You got anything on top of mind?
48:23
Well, you know, I doubt it'll fit in the schedule next year,
48:27
but so you made a not a joke. I made a joke afterwards the
48:32
other day and you were like, now you know, you got all serious
48:36
and you're like, now you know, like you understand if like with
48:42
being like a, a staff member, if when it comes to like Vegas and
48:48
the Triple Crown series and and if I were to do an ASA shoot,
48:52
like you have to be filming. So like you couldn't participate
48:56
in the competition and like compete yourself.
48:58
And I, I was like me want to shoot in the competition.
49:07
No, but I say that because I followed it up with I've always
49:13
said like I love shooting my bow, but I love hunting more.
49:18
Like you. I wake up every day and I'm
49:19
like, is it time to go yet? Is it time to go on our hunt?
49:22
Like I'm, I'm just, I'm, I'm antsy, like I need the next two
49:26
weeks to pass by because I'm ready to be out there already.
49:31
I told you, as long as you give me one cool hunt a year, I'm I'm
49:34
a happy, happy camper. I don't need $1,000,000
49:37
paycheck. I don't need, you know, a
49:41
Lamborghini or whatever, Like I don't need a gold chain.
49:45
I just want to do 1 cool hunt a year, which we are doing.
49:48
We're doing the Axis hunt. So it probably would not be in
49:51
the schedule for next year. But in the dream, like if you
49:57
could have something you don't have planned yet, I guess just
50:00
in general, it's going to be, I think Australia is next on my
50:05
hit list of places for us to go. I think that could happen.
50:09
A lot of Australian viewers and I think we could probably line
50:13
up something pretty cool. I think that could happen,
50:15
definitely. Such a like, I guess what got me
50:17
on that kick is like we went and we experienced Hawaii, which is
50:22
a United States state, you know, like, but you feel like you're
50:25
not in the States when you're there.
50:28
If you get out of Waikiki, you know, or you know, you go to
50:32
another island other than the the most tourist islands you
50:36
know, there is, you felt like you were in the like a South
50:41
American jungle, you know, especially when you got up there
50:45
under the trees in the mountains.
50:48
And so it's just like this different, which I guess you
50:50
experienced when you went to Africa.
50:53
My mini version of that was like getting up in those mountains in
50:56
Hawaii. They're not mountains like that
50:59
in Africa. No, no, like in very all
51:02
different animals and like there are big.
51:05
Mountains we found there, but those Hawaiian mountains are
51:07
different. But yeah, that's crazy.
51:10
I loved it and I loved. It yeah, it's the like, if you
51:13
want to talk about a way like sure, you're going to pay a
51:15
little chunk in flights. Flights are never cheap to
51:17
Hawaii. Don't spot burn right now I can
51:19
sense you're about. To I'm not going to, but I'm
51:21
saying it's the same price no matter which island you go to
51:25
for your tags. But I'm just saying if you want
51:29
to go like experience what feels like an out of country hunt for
51:34
a relatively inexpensive now, there's nothing guided about it.
51:38
Maybe you could find one, I don't know.
51:39
But like just go hunt goats on somewhere or go hunt any animal
51:45
in Hawaii. And when I say Hawaii, I'm I'm
51:47
not talking about like the main island.
51:49
Like there's lots of islands and many of them have animals.
51:54
So pick one and go may or may not like myself, come back with
52:00
an animal, but it's a just otherworldly experience then
52:07
like your typical whitetail woods or your typical, you know,
52:11
desert mule deer. But so I think that's what got
52:15
me on the kick of like experiencing animals in
52:19
different locations and Australia just has such a
52:24
diverse, I mean, I think they have 9 different deer species
52:27
alone, whereas what do we have here?
52:31
We have black tail, white tail, mule and yeah, Sitka and Goose
52:38
5:00 they have 9 alone. I also didn't realize that
52:44
Australia is a lot bigger than the United.
52:46
Yeah. That's great.
52:47
It's huge kangaroo dungaroos or whatever they call dingoes.
52:55
Dingoes, which is like a wild feral dog.
52:59
They're just, there's so much out there.
53:01
Plus, I did not hold a koala while I was in Australia.
53:06
I highly regret it. I want to hold a koala.
53:13
I want to see a koala in the wild.
53:16
I never saw a koala in the wild while I was out there.
53:19
I want to come across one in a tree and go say hello to it.
53:23
I was like, you're wild, but. All right, I think this was a
53:26
good part. I think this is a good place to.
53:28
End Did I talk enough about Australia?
53:30
You talk plenty, yes, but that was great, really good.
53:33
I'm excited for that as well. I think that's something we can
53:35
make happen. Hopefully you get to hold a
53:38
koala and appreciate all your contributions to the year.
53:43
I appreciate all your contributions to the year.
53:45
You did a great job and we're just going to keep it going,
53:48
keep having a good time supporting growing archery
53:51
hopefully and having a good time.
53:53
So appreciate y'all been a great year.
