New podcast. Yeah.
0:02
I think we fixed the screen fluttering.
0:04
Maybe. You did a little settings
0:06
homework and it seems like it it worked.
0:10
Beautiful footage here. Yeah, it looks pretty all right.
0:14
From what I'm seeing on the screen.
0:16
I don't have glasses on so I really can't see that far.
0:20
I also think your mic is upside down.
0:25
Yeah, it's probably fine. Doesn't really matter.
0:27
Beautiful footage. It says 4K planet Earth, so I'm
0:30
assuming that's the channel. Also if you guys see in
0:33
Brianna's clip we got a PlayStation one.
0:38
Yeah, he broke that out. We played.
0:41
What did we play? Crash Team Racing.
0:43
Yeah, we played some cups of Crash Team Racing.
0:46
I'm not very good at it. Fun game though, huh?
0:48
Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to try some
0:50
other games while you're in Mexico.
0:53
You know, it's funny, I, I didn't grow up with video games
0:57
or anything, obviously, which I'm grateful for, but the, the
1:00
here's the consoles that we ever had, right?
1:03
We had obviously like the OG Game Boy, like pre color, then
1:09
the Game Boy Color and then I had the DS, the one that was
1:13
like sideways the original. See, you had more than either.
1:16
But the DS was sick because it was like a glacier blue see
1:20
through. It was pretty badass and you
1:21
play like Pokémon on there. But as far as like the big
1:25
consoles, I had a Sega Genesis from dude that has to be one of
1:30
the first consoles like ever. And then we had the PlayStation
1:35
one and it will after the PS2 came out, my buddy that was all
1:39
into gaming when he got the PS2, we got the hand me down of the
1:42
one with all the games. And then my mom got a Nintendo
1:48
Wii at one point. She liked that you could like
1:51
move the, you know, bowling or whatever.
1:53
Now that was fun. And that's it.
1:55
That's all we ever had. But we never actually played
1:57
them, like hardly ever. So that was just sitting in a
2:00
box. Yeah, I had a a Tamagotchi.
2:04
Does that count? I.
2:05
Don't even know what that it. Was like the little egg with the
2:08
screen. You had to, like, keep it alive.
2:10
Yeah. Yeah, I remember I had one of
2:13
those. And that's not really a game,
2:16
but, you know, And then we did have the Nintendo's, the, like,
2:20
rectangular tall ones. Yeah.
2:23
You know the original. Yeah, just like the little 4,
2:26
you know, up, down, left, right. And and then we did have a
2:31
PlayStation at one point. I don't know which PlayStation
2:35
even was. And then I think at one point my
2:38
brother had an Xbox. I don't think we ever really
2:41
played the Xbox. Maybe I played like Call of Duty
2:43
like 2 times in my life or something back in like Call of
2:47
Duty first came out and that was really it.
2:51
Brittany eventually had a kind of, what do you call it, a
2:56
Switch? Yeah, the switch was, I believe
2:59
was. That was like later in life
3:01
after like whatever you said you had.
3:04
That was the DS. The DSI was in, came out later
3:07
on. That was in.
3:08
Elementary. I was in elementary school when
3:10
I had the DS, so that was like old console.
3:13
So the switch is. What ADS is?
3:16
The switch is probably much newer.
3:17
Yeah, not like terribly new now, but, yeah, she had one of those
3:22
years a few years back, which you can get, you can get, you
3:28
know, addicted to. You can get sucked in because
3:31
it's just right there. But that's all we really played.
3:36
We played well, we did have a Wii.
3:38
We did have a Wii. Didn't use that as much as, you
3:42
know, we were bad nerds. So, like, our fun nights would
3:44
be like going over to her boyfriend's house and we'd all
3:47
play, like all our band friends. We'd play Guitar Hero nice with
3:51
like a drum set and a guitar. Never really.
3:54
Never really played Guitar Hero. I don't play anything.
3:58
I mean, the two games that I played were Crash Team Racing
4:02
and Twisted Metal. Too.
4:04
I did a lot of PlayStation. What's that?
4:08
What's that skater's name? Tony Hawk Pro.
4:11
Yeah, I played a lot of that. Well, I have that game.
4:15
Oh, all time classic soundtrack. The other game I played fairly
4:18
often would be Pokémon. Like on the school bus stuff.
4:21
We'll play Pokémon on the Gameboy.
4:22
Oh nice, no I just had actual Pokémon cards.
4:25
I have the. Cards I got a lot of mint ones
4:27
from like the they might be worth a lot.
4:28
I have some sick cards like that have been in a dark closet and a
4:31
little thing forever, so they're probably in pretty good I.
4:34
Used to have a whole white 3 inch binder Pokémon cards in 3rd
4:38
grade when I also got my first Harry Potter book.
4:40
I used to love breaking out the the binder and flipping through
4:44
cards. Yeah, I never actually played
4:46
like people played Pokémon. I might have like collected.
4:50
Them, but I never actually played the game.
4:52
I may have played like one time, but.
4:54
Oh, my Pokémon is. I don't even know any Pokémon's
4:57
name. My dragon fires beats your
5:00
spitball. I don't know, Yeah.
5:04
I think that gaming, this might be a hot take, but I think it
5:09
can be fun for sure. But I think it's like, I think
5:15
it's one of the worst things to get addicted to.
5:18
Like I would argue it's worse than some like hard drugs
5:21
because bro, think about it. You're like, if you're really,
5:24
really into gaming, like super addicted to gaming, you
5:28
literally can't do anything else.
5:30
Like it takes all of your time because you have to sit there
5:33
and, and, and run the team or the, the game or whatever.
5:38
Whereas like it's. Worse than hard drugs because
5:41
like, I don't know, you know, you could OD on hard drugs.
5:44
You might just get fat in a hunchback, you know if you games
5:48
24/7. Well, and also like, how are you
5:50
going to be successful at life and like grow anything if you're
5:53
sucked into a game all the time? Think about whereas you could be
5:56
a cocaine addict, you could be a coke addict, right?
5:59
And plenty of those dudes are very successful.
6:03
Yeah, I would disagree though, because I think like, you know,
6:06
it's it's one in a few who do you don't make it pretty far in
6:10
in YouTube, which is like an entrepreneurial entertainment
6:14
business. And I think it's exactly the
6:17
same in the gaming world. Like, you know, if you truly
6:21
turn it into a business and you start streaming and twitching
6:24
and all those things that exist now that didn't before, just
6:27
like YouTube and Instagram and you know, TikTok didn't now I
6:33
would even argue they have more avenues to be successful than
6:36
like a YouTube where like, you know, you use TikTok, Instagram,
6:40
Facebook, YouTube, they can use all of those still plus like
6:46
Twitch and stream and 100% whatever.
6:49
So they have more revenue out. You're you're talking about
6:52
something different than I'm talking about.
6:53
But those people sit there and play for like 24 hours at a
6:56
time. Now that I think is good if
6:57
you're using it to monetize and grow a business and like improve
7:01
your life and become a professional, that's something
7:04
totally different than what I'm talking about.
7:06
You're right, that does exist and that's great.
7:08
I'm talking about if that's all you do, but you're not
7:12
monetizing it, you're not exercising, you're not.
7:15
That's the difference. But everybody could fall into
7:17
that. Any.
7:18
Any. Threat.
7:20
Form of anything you could either your cocaine and I feel
7:25
like this episode's going to get flagged for talking about drugs,
7:28
but you could do your drugs and, you know, also be successful in
7:34
your business. I'm not saying that's the avenue
7:36
you should choose. Or you could do your drugs, get
7:39
addicted and then end up losing your job because you, you know,
7:43
blow all your money one night gambling while you're high as a
7:46
kite. Both could happen.
7:49
I need y'all to drop a comment down below and and give give us
7:52
your thoughts on gaming. Yeah.
7:55
Yeah, but anyway, I digress. My game when I was a kid was I
8:00
was a biker, right, biking, baseball.
8:02
So I would go out biking and all the time.
8:07
And I remember I never went to any like school dances or events
8:12
because I was like 2 core. So I was like, it's not cool if
8:16
I go. It's not cool if I go.
8:18
So like I'll just go session. Oh, I mean, what do you have,
8:21
like 25 people? Yeah.
8:25
Yeah, the wow, there's no, there would be more, but.
8:28
It's only like 80 people total in your school.
8:31
And yeah, it was pretty, pretty thin.
8:33
But yeah, I never went. I was too, too fly, you know.
8:37
Yeah, I think I I went to all of mine.
8:41
Yeah, yeah. I wish I did.
8:43
I mean, in hindsight it probably would have been cool, but I was
8:47
like, yo, I need to train. Yeah, it.
8:50
Is dumb. It's so dumb.
8:54
But yeah, look at this ad. This guy's got a nice haircut,
8:57
so you're good. This is from Great Clips.
8:59
And we're not going to Great Clips.
9:01
OK, we'll take you to some bougie place where you can get
9:05
a. IPA.
9:06
Pop on tap or some weird. You know they'll have IPA, yeah?
9:10
Yeah, it'll cost you $80.00 for a haircut.
9:13
IPA frigging wall up me though. I'll hate it the whole time but
9:16
I will finish it. Yeah, but yeah, anyway, I'm,
9:22
I'm. You want me to get a haircut?
9:24
I love my hair, but you say it's just a style.
9:27
Yeah, it's not a it's not a haircut.
9:29
They're just going to add some texture to your hair, some
9:32
layers into this mullet. So it probably starts laying
9:36
back, you know correctly, not this like pin straight thing
9:43
you. See, I like my Brad from Home
9:45
Improvement front, but I love Home Improvement.
9:48
What a good show, one of the best.
9:50
One of the best sitcoms. I wouldn't put it on like the
9:53
Mount Rushmore probably, but it's very good.
9:56
The best sitcom of all time is definitely Seinfeld for sure.
10:00
You know, I, I mean, I enjoy watching an episode or two just
10:04
for like background noise, but it was never something that like
10:07
was ever on TVI. Think it's got to be Seinfeld, I
10:10
mean. I enjoyed The Golden Girls.
10:13
I actually haven't seen that, no, but I'm sure it's good.
10:17
People are probably so bored by now and turned out.
10:20
At all. I don't know, I think that pods
10:22
like this are much better than ones just talking about only
10:25
archery because people everyone, regardless of if archery is your
10:29
hobby, guarantee if you're like in our same age range, you're
10:32
you're getting nostalgic or thinking about the stuff we're
10:35
talking about. So I think to think that all if
10:38
we do a podcast, it's only needs to be about this.
10:41
I think is so dumb. Like, that's just, I don't have
10:44
interest in that. And I don't think like, the most
10:47
listeners would either. Think people like variety.
10:50
As I always say, variety is the spice of life.
10:55
Yeah, but getting into archery. Since you've so kindly moved us
10:59
on, you know, we're going to be starting a new video series
11:06
soon. A couple actually series that'll
11:09
kind of be thread through the weekly uploads, but one of the
11:14
ones that's going to be launching probably next week,
11:17
but maybe this week we'll see, is a Road to Vegas series.
11:23
Because your boy signed up. I signed up for Vegas.
11:26
I paid. I'm ready to go.
11:29
I'm working to get a media pass for you so you can come film and
11:33
do photos. Maybe 2 media passes but I'm
11:40
waiting to hear back. So if anyone's listening knows
11:42
these people at Vegas help me get a media pass cuz these
11:44
videos are going to be banger. But Part 1 should have been
11:48
filmed last week because we went to performance archery.
11:53
I shot the target round rig for what they call they call them
11:56
games. I shot 2 games.
11:58
Oh nice. And I had not shot this Target
12:01
bow really since we filmed with Paige, which was in February,
12:06
and it had new strings on it from the bow shop, Bow and arrow
12:09
shop that I had not shot at all. So come in I was hitting way low
12:15
left, chased it for a while, finally got it to where it was
12:17
in the middle and started my first game.
12:21
First game was a 297. I shot 3 nines early just still
12:29
not quite dialed on the bow and then got really good the last
12:33
end and then last few. Then we tried another one and
12:38
freaking was I thought I was going to get the 300, but then I
12:42
friggin dropped 29. So I shot A29819X on the last
12:48
game. And I know I'm I feel as if I'm
12:52
very capable to mostly just bang out 300.
12:55
So majority of the time. But I'm so new to this that I'm
12:58
I'm really analyzing what I want to change, what I want to make
13:02
better on the bow. And so are you.
13:04
You're almost like my coach in the back.
13:07
You're going I don't like the way you're it's doing this and
13:10
we're so we're working on the bow.
13:12
But All in all, I thought it felt amazing.
13:15
Drawing felt good. I was seeing my eyelashes in the
13:20
peep you. Had to figure that out, Paige
13:22
said. Sometimes stuff like that
13:23
happens, she said. That sometimes you'll even see
13:25
the crowd in the back in the reflection.
13:28
So it sounds like just something that happens, but couple changes
13:31
that off the bat we discussed I'm going to put in the 88 power
13:36
lens instead of a six. Also, that site has a dead
13:40
battery, so I need a battery 8 power lens, which is somewhere
13:43
up here. Got to find it.
13:48
That's about it so far, right? I was going to try to pitch the
13:51
grip a little and then I think that's about it for now.
13:56
I do want to slowly add a little.
13:58
More put an ACU on this or no? I am going to put a ACU SOS Yep,
14:01
the target version. And then I want to gradually
14:04
start adding a little bit of weight over time just so the
14:08
boat moves even a little bit slower.
14:11
But I don't know how do you think first of all, what did you
14:16
think of the first day that we blew it and then filmed?
14:18
But what do you think of first day in the in the gate?
14:23
And then what do you think my potential is in Vegas doing the,
14:30
you know, the flights, open flights?
14:33
Well, I'll start with the latter half of that.
14:35
I really don't know because one like it's just so many people go
14:45
to these things and I think I've truly decided the make or break
14:50
is not the if you can hit, you'll have to be hitting three
14:53
hundreds. You know, even in flights, it
14:56
has to be a guarantee you'll get a 300, which I think you'll
15:00
easily get to once. Like you're literally picking up
15:03
a bow that you've never you know, like I said, you've
15:05
probably shot this thing less than five times, just haven't
15:09
had the time to get into it. You're a good enough shooter
15:13
that that will be easy for you to get to once it's dialed into
15:18
your settings, just like your hunting bow is dialed into your
15:21
preferences. But I think truly what makes or
15:26
breaks people in winning or placing in anything, whether
15:30
it's flights are in the open class or whatever, it's not the
15:34
300 because most people who are all people who are on that top
15:37
just know they're going to get 3 hundreds.
15:40
Like you get a 299 and you're just on the first day in open.
15:45
It's the excess. And so that's what I'm most
15:50
interested to see how to improve over the next month and 1/2 or
15:56
two 2:00-ish months. It's how to get those XS up.
16:01
And I think that's going to come with one, I think changing to
16:04
the 8 power is going to make a, a significant difference for
16:08
you. And then two, I think it's the
16:11
waiting distribution. Like I said, like when I'm
16:14
sitting in the back, a few things that I noticed or a
16:18
couple. One, the waiting distribution to
16:23
help with leveling out the bow. I think you can play more
16:26
experimentally with your back bars because they can be in
16:30
different positions, they can sit further out, they can be
16:34
weighted more like you said to add more weight over the next
16:37
couple months and getting used to that weights like you said,
16:40
these bows are 10 times heavier than hunting bows, even if the
16:44
poundage is not. And then the the second one is
16:51
you have always drilled in like, and we do it like a funny mean
16:55
thing in there. And we film videos about, you
16:58
know, you know, don't let down, you know, you beep, beep, beep.
17:07
But that is absolutely wrong, especially when practicing.
17:15
But I don't know, may I don't know which one's worse, whether
17:17
it's at at the actual Vegas or while practicing both probably
17:20
equally. Like you draw the bow back so
17:24
many times in Vegas 300 rounds and so many times you, you work
17:30
towards that like just straight back, no movement in the bow.
17:33
So it it has much less time to get any wiggle and movement out
17:39
and there will be every so often a shot that I just see that
17:42
freaking 30 inch long, 36 inch long bar in the front going like
17:47
this for that long. Immediately you should know.
17:54
Let the bow back down. Yeah.
17:56
Especially when practicing because it's like if you just
18:00
drew 9 times in a row where that bow just drew and stable like
18:04
stabilized, why in the world would you shoot when it was
18:09
going like this and people would say we'll just wait for that to
18:12
stop. No, why would you wait for it to
18:14
stop? You're allowed to let down.
18:16
If you already knew your draw did not happen the same as the
18:20
last 9 draws that got you 10s. What in your brain tells you
18:24
that that draw that's different is going to get you a 10?
18:27
Yeah, I, I you. Just held the bow longer, it
18:30
weighs more. You got to shoot three times in
18:33
the in the the end and you drew it differently.
18:38
Yeah, I mean, I definitely think you're right.
18:41
I worked on that a little bit in my first session.
18:44
The next time we go, which I, I think I'm going to go tomorrow,
18:47
I think so people are listening to this podcast on Wednesday.
18:50
I'm planning to be at performance on Wednesday trying
18:53
again and maybe hopefully I'll have the 8 power lens.
18:58
I got to figure out how to do that, but figure that out and
19:01
then go shoot. And that's something I want to
19:04
continue to work on getting more confident and just letting down,
19:08
you know, and I think that part of the reason I am pretty good
19:10
is because I don't let down very often.
19:12
But I think I could do that and let down a little bit more when
19:15
it. Makes I think that's
19:16
advantageous in like in 3D outdoor, even in like a target
19:21
series of 3D outdoor. I don't know that that is, at
19:25
least in practice, like maybe you get to, obviously you would
19:28
get to the point where like you've repeated that pattern so
19:32
much like you do with your your hunting bow that that waggle
19:36
never happens. But why wouldn't you work on
19:39
getting that out to repeat to learn how to repeat that draw
19:44
you want in this target bow by letting down when it doesn't
19:48
happen correctly? Yeah, for sure.
19:50
And I'm no target shooter. I'm just looking at the process
19:54
from, you know, behind the bow and I can see that that draw
19:59
look different because of the bows movement than all the other
20:03
previous straws. Now shoot, I'm wondering if this
20:07
if I'll need to change out the lens in here to match the and I
20:14
don't know where in the Frick that thing is.
20:18
I'm I'll have to find it. But I do have the I have the
20:20
little Hamsky kit, so I should be able to go find it and get
20:23
the different lenses and then put the aid in.
20:27
But I think that'll be really nice.
20:28
I think that'll be a good change.
20:32
Just see, you know, so well in the center, I think will be a
20:36
big game changer this release. It's the same one I've shot
20:40
forever, the BK target, of course, but this is a much
20:43
probably has a million less shots on it.
20:45
And you can definitely feel it. It feels really good.
20:48
So yeah, the bow feels amazing. I'm super excited.
20:51
I mean, I've been looking forward to this phase of my
20:54
career for a long time, you know, the, the target phase.
21:00
And let me tell you. So I part of the reason I'm
21:03
pretty excited about it is I feel like when there's guys who
21:08
make content, most guys who do archery and hunting content do
21:14
hunting primarily, I would say, and maybe some tack stuff,
21:21
recreational shooting. And that's what I love to do,
21:24
right? The recreational.
21:25
Shooting but most differ to like variations of hunting IE shotgun
21:29
season, muzzle loader season, but it's mostly all hunting with
21:34
a sprinkle of like some archery stuff.
21:38
Whereas you who do hunt all archery, 100% archery.
21:44
So like you can't bury hunting season.
21:47
They like you can only hunt when archery is available to hunt.
21:51
So like, why not diversify? Just like they diversify their
21:56
hunting stuff. Guns, bows, you know, whatever.
22:00
Diversify target 3D hunting with a bow.
22:05
Like exactly Diversify the archery.
22:11
Well, and so part part of what I was getting to as well is that
22:19
there's really not hardly anybody like and then there's
22:23
there are guys who maybe film competition stuff, maybe I don't
22:26
know too many of them, but there's probably some some guys
22:28
that do mostly competition content.
22:32
What I think we're going to be able to do that's pretty unique
22:34
is go from being an influencer to a competitor as well.
22:39
And I think I really believe I'll do pretty well, especially
22:42
with, you know, indoors, a lot more fish out of water for me.
22:46
It's brand new, but it's something I think I can do.
22:50
And then outdoor, when I compete in outdoor, I really think I can
22:53
do really well and outdoor, especially if I get this bow
22:55
dial or even my proof. Well, that's what I wonder if,
22:58
because when I saw that proven was listed on bowtex website as
23:03
also a you know, a target rig as like what if you use this thing,
23:09
this monstrosity for indoor only, but you set up the proven,
23:17
which is a bow you have said has been the maybe the best bow or
23:21
the best bow you've ever shot from bow tech.
23:25
But set it up for outdoor competition.
23:29
Going to the longer stabilizer, put the lens and the clarifier
23:32
in it's. My plan, I want to have two
23:34
proven like one for hunting and then one for Target and set it
23:38
up long bars lenses, but in that platform because it's really,
23:42
really good. Or maybe A reckoning 36 would
23:45
also be a good option. But yeah, there's so much stuff.
23:48
But I, I just, you know, I really hope and I know I'm quite
23:54
confident I can show up and put in at least respectable results
23:59
my first year and then hopefully get better from there.
24:02
But I think it'll make our content so unique because I
24:05
don't think there is too many archery channels that are really
24:09
doing high end competition plus hunting, plus tax stuff.
24:16
So that's what I'm really excited about.
24:20
And yeah, let's take a quick break.
24:22
We're back. I had a quick little HOA
24:24
conversation, but yeah, super excited about it.
24:28
I just think that I just think it's going to be pretty unique
24:32
and I love getting into new audiences as well.
24:39
And that's I feel pretty untapped market sort of of
24:44
viewers and people that would I think enjoy the content and have
24:47
a lot of fun watching it. So really excited.
24:50
I think it'll be a good video series of kind of the
24:52
progression of me trying to get better, tweak in the bow, all
24:56
that stuff will try to film and then of course film the contest.
25:01
Yeah, I think it'll. I just think.
25:02
It'll target set up. Yeah, I just think all my target
25:06
stuff will be a full like new whole slew of videos, series of
25:12
videos that I think will be so good and and I'm really excited
25:15
and, you know, hunting videos too.
25:17
Shoot, I don't know, we probably have 10 successful hunts on the
25:23
on the channel just from this year, you know, and and total
25:26
probably 60 all time. So like we have a lot of hunting
25:29
too, but why not, you know, to your point, expand and do
25:34
different stuff. And one thing I'm really
25:36
interested in is what the obviously we know what the like
25:41
fan interaction or viewer interaction is at attack
25:45
nowadays. I wonder what it'll be at
25:47
somewhere like Vegas if if there will be a lot of mingling with
25:51
viewers. I better be more than.
25:53
You mean in person? In person, yeah, I bet it'll be
25:57
more, I bet it'll be more than TAC, but I could be wrong, but
26:01
who knows. I mean, maybe those people don't
26:03
don't watch the channel because it's not doing that stuff yet.
26:07
I'm very interested to see. I'm interested to get a massage
26:12
and relax and you know. You're going to be filming and
26:16
doing photos, Buster. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:19
No partying till after Vegas is complete.
26:23
Well, after the last arrow either.
26:25
I shoot for the weekend. I'm partying for sure.
26:28
Yeah, I might have to get a separate hotel room for that
26:30
night. Why my snoring or what?
26:32
Yeah, well, when in Rome I guess.
26:36
But. But anyways, so yeah, stay tuned
26:40

28:10
got her Kawasaki shirt. Shout out to Kawasaki victory.
28:13
I'm. So excited for another 4 door in
28:15
January. It's so lovely.
28:21
You never understand when you don't sit in the middle about
28:24
how uncomfortable it is to try to wedge your bow in there and
28:28
you're just damaging the crap out of the bottom of it.
28:32
And you know your shoulders are like this 24/7 when you're
28:36
already sitting poorly trying the glass all day long to sit in
28:42
the back. I have my own door and we'll
28:46
have two rigs. So like if one day we're all
28:48
going to the same spot, we just take both rigs.
28:51
So if five of us don't have to fit, even though it does sit
28:54
five people to be comfortable like.
29:00
Jeez Opique. Actually the other.
29:02
So the other Ridge crew actually has seat 6, but it doesn't have
29:05
that. Yeah, it doesn't have the center
29:06
console, but we do like that for storage.
29:08
It's great for the cameras. I mean, one fits on top, one
29:11
fits inside, so that's really good.
29:12
But yeah, shout out to the sponsors, Bo Tech, obviously.
29:15
I love my target rig. I think the color is so sick.
29:19
I need to dust. It's kind of dirty.
29:21
It's just been sitting, but like it's this like midnight black
29:24
that like in the sun, it sort of looks more like a dark red, but
29:28
in. Like a gold spark, red sparkle.
29:30
Red sparkle black. That's so sick.
29:33
I love the look of it and then yeah, obviously got the gas
29:38
system X strings on that bad boy shooting the victory 27.
29:42
Oh. That was the one thing I was
29:43
going to say because you had mentioned that when you were
29:45
shooting and going back to like possible changes and things is
29:51
the drop away, drop away rest like I just don't know target
29:58
stuff enough, like their whole like tongue system things like
30:01
does that just stay up? Like what's the difference in
30:04
that? And like he said, oh, maybe I'll
30:06
need to change to that from the drop away.
30:08
Yeah, so I'm in the style a lot of people use is like what they
30:11
call lizard tongue. It's just like a 2 little prongs
30:14
and it doesn't move right. So it's fixed.
30:15
So, you know, it'll be the same every time I messaged Paige
30:18
about it, she's like, I think it's fine, you know, I think
30:22
you'll be fine with a drop away and Ripcord, you know, is a
30:24
shout out to Ripcord. I figure I'll just run it you
30:27
know, so I'll probably run the setup pretty similar.
30:30
To how it is make like a target tongue.
30:33
Does Ripcord? I'm not sure.
30:34
Not that I'm aware of. Oh.
30:36
That's what I mean, Yeah, yeah. How do like how did veins not
30:43
hit the tongue? How?
30:46
Tiny the tongue. Is well, usually it's thin and
30:48
you run the two veins out so they just go right over the top.
30:52
Yeah, but I'll probably run the RIP quarter ratchet.
30:54
I'm fine with the rest. Yeah, I don't know.
30:58
I I like the whole setup. I'm just happy with it.
31:00
I love the aesthetics and we'll try to keep getting better, try
31:05
to make sure we can get there and and do well.
31:08
I mean, I think the tough part of course be like the mental
31:12
game, but I've always been, I think decent enough at mental
31:16
game while competing. So I think that's what's good
31:19
about going, you know, weekly to performance because they're so
31:22
busy in there with the people in that practice range that they
31:26
have in the back that it helps. It's nothing like Vegas will be,
31:32
but it at least helps mock that environment of like people
31:36
chatting, doing their own thing like a crowd in the back because
31:39
all that like people will sit on the benches back there that, you
31:45
know, at some point you could, you know, say, OK, this whole
31:48
round, you know, 10 ends, I'm not going to talk to anybody
31:52
like I were shooting Vegas. Even if people are chit chatting
31:56
and whatnot, Like I'm going to focus on just shooting the 10
31:59
ends and then see what your score is, you know, 'cause like
32:05
this last time we went, you know, in between rounds and
32:08
whatnot, you, you know, chit chatted with some people and
32:11
whatnot. And then moving toward like
32:15
actually timing it to like, OK, I can't start shooting the next
32:18
end until 2 minutes has passed. And you know, just mocking a
32:23
Vegas environment and, and competition as much as possible
32:27
along the way. There's so many different ways
32:30
to, to practice. It's like any sport, you know,
32:33
like there are different methods and things that you can do that
32:37
are not at all even the actual, you know, shoot 10 ends, shoot
32:43
30 arrows. What did I get?
32:45
Like there are other things to even practice that then lead to
32:52
more beneficial scores in the actual game, but.
32:58
Yeah, another thing I'm going to attempt this next time because I
33:03
want to shoot instead of two games, I want to shoot 4, but I
33:07
want to shoot them at the same time.
33:09
So I'll do like two faces right next to each other and then
33:13
again two faces. Total arrows.
33:15
And then so that's what I'm saying, like it would never be
33:18
what you would do in Vegas. What it's gonna do is I'll be
33:21
shooting double as much, so my body will be getting used to the
33:24
bow more, getting that feel the way, and I'm getting it stronger
33:28
and then I can add more weight to the bow.
33:30
It's not that I'm weak, it's just like I'm not used to
33:32
shooting a bow this heavy. I'm used to shooting a bow that
33:35
7 lbs, not 9. And I want to get her a little
33:38
heavier, just slow the movement down.
33:40
But I think by shooting, instead of going to performance and
33:43
shooting two games, I'll shoot 4.
33:46
And it's not going to take more time because I'm doing them at
33:48
the same time. Yeah.
33:49
That's more of you're now working your endurance exactly
33:53
game. I want to make sure that I do
33:55
not gas out at this event, you know, and make sure we're
33:58
totally ready. But yeah, super excited.
34:00
I mean, our first competition, Vegas, is not till the end of
34:04
March. So it's four months away, 4 1/2
34:06
months away. But, you know, there's some
34:10
smaller shoots before that. Chuck sent me a schedule of some
34:13
indoor competitions we can do prior to that.
34:17
And then because he's doing it as well, shout out Chuck.
34:20
And you know, there's some outdoor stuff.
34:22
Yuma has their high noon on the HeLa Cup series.
34:25
The two day shoot. I'm going to go do that in the
34:27
end of January. So you should look up what those
34:30
cuz it's such an easy drive, you know, it's like one day's drive.
34:34
Look up when some of those other within that cup when some of
34:38
those shoots are. Totally.
34:40
But yeah, I mean, the competition schedule, you know,
34:43
obviously we're going to, I'm going to be hunting here in a
34:45
week or so. And then all of us will be
34:47
hunting our whole crew at in in January.
34:52
But then end of January, it's game time.
34:55
It's competitions, right? And it's funny, I'm looking
34:58
forward to the hunting, but my mind is so on the competitions.
35:02
I'm really excited. My mind's just on.
35:04
That no, I'm so excited to compete.
35:06
I don't know what it is. I just love competing.
35:08
So I'm I'm excited to get out there and I love hunting.
35:11
I obviously love hunting. Done it my whole life.
35:14
I love to sit a blind or spot and stalk or glass like I really
35:17
like it, But I get I'm almost like more fired up to go compete
35:22
just because I think it's like something new that I haven't
35:25
done. And but when I'm out there
35:26
hunting, I'm like, there's nothing better than this when
35:29
I'm there, right, But I I'm ahead of time.
35:32
I'm actually like more amped to go compete.
35:35
Yeah, not me. I'm on like the edge of my seat
35:38
in the glass. Like what am I going to see?
35:40
A deer? What am I?
35:41
I still glass up. What am I going to see here 3?
35:43
Times as many, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure,
35:47
sure. But but yeah, that I think I
35:50
think that's about it for today is just talking through targets
35:53
new new video series, Road to Vegas and maybe we'll do a a
35:58
different outdoor series for outdoor target and obviously
36:04
follow the hunts we have coming up.
