Transcript
- 0:00Every pod always starts super disturbing.
- 0:02It just gets cut out every single time.
- 0:03No one realizes like filming is happening if you compiled the
- 0:071st 5 minutes of. Each yeah.
- 0:11I surprise. I surprise the people of mine
- 0:14like I I just. I start it and then where and I
- 0:17should see where it goes. And then they're and then they
- 0:19go, are we recording? And I was like, yes we are.
- 0:23How long we've been recording for the last 7 minutes, God damn
- 0:27it. I don't think anybody like, I
- 0:30think everyone just expects like the start to happen.
- 0:33But I don't realize like James starts the cameras before he
- 0:35obviously has to sit down. So once he's sitting, those
- 0:38things are already on and nobody picks up on that and.
- 0:41Then and the pro tips just look for the red light, but people
- 0:43don't notice it, you know? I've got the external monitor so
- 0:46it all it just sits in front of me.
- 0:49You can probably see it in my video, but I just go and it and
- 0:53and no one can see red lights or anything like that.
- 0:55But there's a red yeah around the screen.
- 0:57You got the full. Production I do.
- 0:59You probably, I feel like you know.
- 1:01You want me to just let him do a pod?
- 1:03You need to take some some tips, yeah.
- 1:07Let's do this, we'll, I'll do the technology in here and then
- 1:11you guys can help me with the interior design because it's.
- 1:14Absolutely, That's the scary. We'll.
- 1:17Do we'll do that trade? I like this wall and some of the
- 1:20decor. Now I'm on the hunt for what I'm
- 1:24going to do to these two walls, the white, once you see it on
- 1:27camera. I'm not a big fan.
- 1:28I have a ton of graces and maybe I'll paint them Gray.
- 1:30But then I saw, you know, Facebook Marketplace is a bad
- 1:33place to go for me. And they had those, you know,
- 1:37they're like tiles, like 60, kind of like these, but they're
- 1:40the, like, fake fake vines or greenery or whatever.
- 1:43It's like super trendy. Now you'll see it on a wall with
- 1:46like, the LED light or whatever. I was like, oh, what if I just
- 1:50ran out buy like a hundred of those so I can do like one wall
- 1:54in them? And I was like, oh wait, no, I
- 1:55can't do that, 'cause then I got to paint the green on this wall
- 1:57a different color. So I'm just torn as to what to
- 1:59do. But I I will decorate, don't
- 2:04will decorate. Don't sleep on the tapestry
- 2:07because the the one behind mine looks like a wood panel wall.
- 2:12It's literally just a $20 Amazon like wall.
- 2:17Like like I I think it's like 10 feet by 10 it's basically covers
- 2:21the entire wall and you cannot tell on.
- 2:24Video. No.
- 2:24It looks good in your videos, yeah.
- 2:27If you go, if you go up to, you're like, oh, this is really
- 2:29cheap. There's some Amazon has some
- 2:34great things. Pretty much everything in this
- 2:36room came off Amazon. But.
- 2:39Pretty much the bows and deer. Did you get the LED?
- 2:44She got that on Pinner at Etsy, Yeah.
- 2:45No. Don't confuse the.
- 2:46Two you're. Different Etsy.
- 2:49They're not really that much different, I don't feel like.
- 2:51What? What is?
- 2:52Pinterest and Etsy Like what's the?
- 2:54Difference. Etsy makes things for you.
- 2:55Pinterest is just like a collage of ideas.
- 2:58Oh, so one's like the idea board, The other ones, yeah.
- 3:01One's like where you can make your vision board, the others
- 3:03where you actually go to execute.
- 3:05Correct. Yeah.
- 3:06OK. They do make.
- 3:07I've seen, I've started to find one.
- 3:09So I wanted to do one like on the inside of that door.
- 3:11That said, like the studio or something, when you, you know,
- 3:14see it from the outside of the room, obviously, but you can't
- 3:16have a cord hanging from the wall.
- 3:18But they do make ones with little battery packs so you
- 3:21don't have to plug it in or anything.
- 3:22It's like that might be the next step, because then I just don't
- 3:25like cords, Cords really. Cords.
- 3:27Yeah, they kind of get hidden, but yeah.
- 3:30By the oh, you did turn those little bright lights on.
- 3:32Oh, should I hit them? Don't.
- 3:34Should we hit a mid video? So we're here with Brianna Round
- 3:39of applause Legend in here. Also, the comment word of the
- 3:42day is watermelon, so if you're watching, drop watermelon in the
- 3:46comments. Is this a new YouTube trend or
- 3:48something else? I just thought of it right now.
- 3:50So drop watermelon, I'm going to do it.
- 3:52Comment of the day is my new thing.
- 3:53So drop watermelon and the and the, yeah.
- 3:56In the comments like I thought you meant if you say watermelon.
- 3:59OK, so people just literally comment.
- 4:01Right now they're going to write watermelon in the comments.
- 4:04Let me know they're watching. So anyway, people are going to
- 4:07drop that I. Prefer if you dropped a
- 4:09question, but you know. People won't respond to a
- 4:11question, but they'll type watermelon because it's fun.
- 4:13What? No, no, no.
- 4:15Like they can ask a question and then you can respond to them
- 4:18because you respond to all the messages.
- 4:19Well, I do, but that's too much effort.
- 4:21Watermelon's just like. That's lazy.
- 4:22It's. Kind of fun, you know?
- 4:24It's fun. And we're also here with David.
- 4:26Why watermelon? I just thought of it right now
- 4:29on the spot, literally. You know, I just felt like it
- 4:31was a crazy. Watermelon Do you put salt on
- 4:34your watermelon? No.
- 4:36No. Isn't that a weird thing people
- 4:38do? Isn't it salt, right?
- 4:41Not really. You can.
- 4:42You can have salt with fruity things.
- 4:43I feel like a Margarita is very fruity.
- 4:45I put sugar on the rib. Do.
- 4:47You but Brianna loves. I hate salt.
- 4:49You got to see her go to Starbucks sometimes, her order.
- 4:53There's cold foam in my homemade coffee right now.
- 4:55It's a whipped can. Pour it in there.
- 4:57So anyway, David, 614 archery my guy.
- 5:00You've known him for like 4-3 four years now.
- 5:02Long time 3/4. Probably maybe 3.
- 5:05Years. Also a YouTube and a podger.
- 5:09Podger. His pod better video production.
- 5:12The video production Much as good.
- 5:15Much smaller. Much smaller, but I love
- 5:19shooting David's that he works with Southwest boat runners.
- 5:23Or are you like on the board or something?
- 5:25I'm on the board, yes. I'm a board member.
- 5:26So if y'all haven't shot that and you're in any western state,
- 5:31I suggest going because it's a lot of fun, especially to walk
- 5:34the trail. And what's the other one?
- 5:36The Halloween night shoots? The big one.
- 5:38Halloween night shoes are evening shoot where you attach a
- 5:40whole bunch of flashlights to your bow and get to use your
- 5:44lighted knocks and pins and stuff like that.
- 5:47And it's it's really fun. It's it's it's way more fun when
- 5:50you wait until darkness has completely fallen and then you
- 5:53go out. A lot of people like to go when
- 5:55the sun has set. There's still light out there
- 5:57and then they finish the trail. But it's much.
- 5:59More fun at night. It's dark.
- 6:01We. Didn't make that one this year
- 6:02we we were going to and then something happened.
- 6:05And I kept telling James for the longest time, we still haven't
- 6:07done it. I want to go out, probably
- 6:09eventually someone call on us. But I want to go out dark like
- 6:12that morally here, and do that glow in the dark balloons with
- 6:16lighted knobs, like a video. There's certainly no point to
- 6:18the video other than that it's fun, but.
- 6:20It would be fun. It would.
- 6:21Be fun to do. But I I like Yuma the shoot
- 6:24because is there another? Big shoot, though, what?
- 6:26The walk, The trail. The one we just did.
- 6:27There is. There's another one, April,
- 6:29we've got. Oh shit.
- 6:30I'm going to have a booth at that.
- 6:31Yes, you guys can come by merch, too, at that.
- 6:34Excellent. And I'm going to compete by the
- 6:36way she's sitting in the booth. I'm going to try to win that
- 6:38shit, you know? So how many people go to that?
- 6:42We we don't know. It's our first year doing this
- 6:44particular one. It's the third leg of the
- 6:46Arizona 3D Championship. I think it's called the Cactus
- 6:49Cup. Cactus Cup, Yes.
- 6:51First leg is in Mesa at Usury Mountain Range, and then the
- 6:56second leg is in Dragoon in Tucson.
- 6:59That one's fun because that's the middle of nowhere.
- 7:02Yeah, and we've got the third leg of that.
- 7:06If you haven't participated in the other two, you can't win the
- 7:08buckle. But, I mean, you can.
- 7:10But. You can win the day you.
- 7:12Can win that day, yeah, yeah. I would like to do that.
- 7:15I would like to do that and it's an actual.
- 7:18Buckle like a rodeo buckle it's. An actual rodeo.
- 7:21But that's a that is a thing in archery, yes.
- 7:26I need to get better. Obviously not going to go win
- 7:29anything at the rodeo, so if I could win an arc.
- 7:32They're sick belts too. Yeah.
- 7:34But yeah, it's a good range. It's it's like, it's you kind of
- 7:41get two different bags of shooting there, which I like.
- 7:45You get your real kind of technical tight stuff where it's
- 7:49more dark on your your peep and your sight and then you get in
- 7:54the back Canyon and it's like just you're blasted with sun,
- 7:58you're out in the open. There's like no terrain or
- 8:01topography. Yeah, there's like terrain, but
- 8:04I mean not much vegetation. So you're like really like just
- 8:07baking in the sun. And so the lighting shooting
- 8:11wise, it's very different between the two sides and one's
- 8:14more the canyons obviously, more stretched out shots generally
- 8:19and I think that's cool. I think like the diversity of
- 8:21Y'all's ranges is pretty cool and I always like going.
- 8:25So I'm excited to come out and have a have a booth and
- 8:28hopefully shoot and that's a two day.
- 8:31That's going to be a two day correct.
- 8:32Was it like April 13th 14th? It's April 12th and 13th, the
- 8:36Saturday and Sunday that that is out there, all right.
- 8:39And yes, you're you're not wrong about your you're exactly right
- 8:44about the differences in lighting.
- 8:45So we have the Canyon Trail which is in in a Canyon
- 8:49obviously. And then we've got targets that
- 8:51go all the way back through this Canyon at Dare Range.
- 8:56And then we you cross the road towards the river, the Gila
- 9:00River. And then there's two river
- 9:02trails down there that we we have at our big shoots, the East
- 9:06River Trail and the West River Trail.
- 9:07And like you said it's very tech.
- 9:09It's very tight. You'll go, you'll have to shoot
- 9:12through a window like like this big.
- 9:15And I know people who who do really well in the Canyon that
- 9:20struggle in the river bottom trails because the lighting is
- 9:23so much different and it's it's especially the ones who use
- 9:26lenses. Oh yeah.
- 9:27Yeah. Because I've.
- 9:28Yeah. I've got a guy who we we have a
- 9:31guy who just switched to A10 power lens.
- 9:33Oh. Yeah, you're home.
- 9:34Oh. My God.
- 9:35He's he's from Kansas. Yes, he is.
- 9:39He's from Kansas. He's a good one boy from Kansas
- 9:41he he he called me up the other day he just in his Kansas draw
- 9:46he's like I just switched to 10 power lens man I can see the
- 9:49nuts of the ticket 30 yards but he's he's going to he's he's
- 9:55going to struggle with the with the lighting especially when you
- 9:58need to index things on a target which is something that I just
- 10:04recently for 3D started to started to do because when I
- 10:09first came to you mayors always started shooting three DI just
- 10:13shoot for where like I think the OR where a vital would be on it
- 10:18and those 12 rings are not necessarily where the vital
- 10:20would be. So you you'd end up hitting an 8
- 10:24when you're like that's a that's a kill shot.
- 10:26So I I started really trying to index my shot for where where
- 10:33that and and where that 12 ring is.
- 10:36I tried to index it. You know like on a javelina for
- 10:39instance you've got these white, white dots.
- 10:42Yeah. And and try to indent because
- 10:44the hardest thing that I think with with indexing is you look
- 10:47at through your by nose everything will make sense.
- 10:49You'll be like, Yep, that's where it is.
- 10:51And then you you go down and you're like, is it really that
- 10:55far? Down this is This is why you see
- 10:57my process like I've always done this rough glass it and it'll
- 11:01go. I'll do that about four times.
- 11:07I'm like, OK, I'm positive. I always want to make sure I'm
- 11:09like looking at the same I'll see like a crack or like a
- 11:12shadow or something. I'm like I'm pretty sure that's
- 11:14it. I'll go OK see it is that the
- 11:16same shadow And then I'll like eventually once I'm sure I'll
- 11:20shoot. But I've always done that, you
- 11:22know, and I think that a lot of people who maybe don't get as
- 11:26good A results as they want at three DA, lot of times it's
- 11:29either. A lot of times it's just like a
- 11:31skill difference that is a thing.
- 11:32But sometimes people just don't put the effort in to really
- 11:36study where you're trying to hit and then find a way to hold on
- 11:41it. Like, I'm big on dude.
- 11:43Like today there was some good ones where I would glass it and
- 11:47then go, OK, there's where I'm trying to hit and I'd be by the
- 11:50cone and you can get a Bose length from the cone.
- 11:53So I'd be like right next to it and I'd go, OK, got that piece
- 11:56of grass. If I could take a step back,
- 11:58that piece of grass will be perfectly right in the 12.
- 12:01So now I can hold on the blade of grass, but have something,
- 12:06you know, definitive to hold on and just little tricks like that
- 12:09have helped me score pretty high consistently is like the effort
- 12:15and then just like the attention to detail kind of on where to
- 12:18hit. Was that care?
- 12:20We're just looking directly at your cross.
- 12:22It might have been, but it's definitely not gonna get your
- 12:27face. No, it's zoomed all the way out.
- 12:30I'm a short king 6 foot. You're not.
- 12:35You're not. You're not.
- 12:37Short unhinge. OK, Jeez, yeah.
- 12:40Oh, my goodness. No, you.
- 12:43Yeah. No, you're totally right about
- 12:45that. Like I, I I struggle with that
- 12:47on a, on a, you know on on a target by target.
- 12:50Some Some are really easy to identify, but some, some.
- 12:54Dinosaur The two stripes coming down or the cobras.
- 12:57Pretty easy, Sasquatch for me. If anyone's a coyote, the
- 13:03pronghorn's easy. Just hit the bend to the wide.
- 13:06The coyote you hit the the cluster of black dots on the
- 13:10right on the bottom dot. You can be perfect.
- 13:13It's kind of fun once you've shot a lot to be like, OK, I
- 13:16know where to hit this one. Yeah, but some of those targets
- 13:19look the same, but their their, their 12 range are different.
- 13:22It depends on the manufacturer. Yeah.
- 13:23Like the Deltas are like up in like the back of the eight.
- 13:27Yeah, I won't even check those. I'll just shoot for 10s.
- 13:30I I don't really find it worth that to go for the twelves.
- 13:35I would maybe if I was doing like AASA or something like
- 13:39that. Have you have you ever done that
- 13:41type of scoring The the three, the three dots in the middle I
- 13:44that confused the hell out? Of me first.
- 13:45Have you done it? No, I have not.
- 13:47I hate that scoring. It's it's goofy to me a little
- 13:50bit. Because the because the middle
- 13:53the middle dot is not actually your highest score.
- 13:55No, it's the one on like the top left or something.
- 13:58Yes, but the middle dot I think is a 10 and then the dots on
- 14:02either side are twelves and then the 14 is like back way.
- 14:05Back, yeah. But that didn't.
- 14:08I don't know that it it doesn't make sense that there's two high
- 14:12scoring rings on either side of I I don't know.
- 14:16Yeah, maybe because it's closer to the 8.
- 14:18Ring that's why it's more risky to hit them so but yeah I always
- 14:22thought that was a little goofy out out here we everyone has
- 14:25Reinhardt target so everything's basically 581012.
- 14:30Well, that's what I don't get though.
- 14:31Like you guys do it, but out here doesn't.
- 14:34So The Twelves. Yeah, like if we use
- 14:36Reinhardt's, but yeah, but why call an?
- 14:39XI don't know. I don't.
- 14:40I don't know why they do that here.
- 14:42That That's target circles. We don't score twelves anywhere.
- 14:44They scored. They.
- 14:45Just give them. 10s. With X.
- 14:48And if you hit the 12, that's a 10X and they say that that's a
- 14:52tiebreaker. So for example, the shoot I was
- 14:54at today, it's a 28 target shoot, but the Max score was
- 14:58280. You can't 12 get you nothing.
- 15:01So other than a tie break. Maybe that's.
- 15:05I guess it's fine, but I do prefer twelves.
- 15:08Yeah, maybe. Maybe that's due to like so many
- 15:11target Archers, they're just used to act like shooting could
- 15:14be. For X maybe?
- 15:17Because that's I I did a actual target shoot in December and it
- 15:23was, you know, the the X is, the X is an X and stuff like that.
- 15:30But that it feels, it feels like there's too much, a little bit
- 15:35too much segmentation in that. It feels it feels a little goofy
- 15:39to me, but I've always thought that.
- 15:40I've even told them like that's why I have Motorcycles challenge
- 15:43like we do, I do twelves, but it's also not a competitive
- 15:46shoot. But on your scorecard you, you
- 15:48know like this year we're actually going to do a little
- 15:50cuz last year we had so many first time shooters come that
- 15:54they're like how do we score it? And I was explaining how to
- 15:57score it and I was like, we need a little key on the scorecard
- 16:01where you can flip it over and it has a visual of like this
- 16:04ring is this So that way people don't, you know, I don't have to
- 16:09tell them and they they might forget you can just like flip
- 16:12over your card and go oh shit, OK now I know how to score it.
- 16:15You know, and. They never look at the e-mail.
- 16:17No. Yeah.
- 16:18So that's why it's got to be on the card.
- 16:19So we're going to have like a safety number on the card and
- 16:24the maybe like a course description or something on the
- 16:28back and then other than that just the the ring demonstration.
- 16:34But I I love shooting 3D, man. Like I think it makes you a
- 16:39better hunter too. Like I mean that's a big reason
- 16:42why I do it so much. One because it's fun and I like
- 16:45being competitive. Like those are both big reasons
- 16:48I like to do it and I love to shoot.
- 16:50So it's like fits a lot of things, but also, you can't tell
- 16:54me that doing a bunch of bow shooting is not going to make
- 16:57you better at shooting when you got a buck in front of you.
- 17:01Yeah, you know what I mean. The only dangerous thing about
- 17:033D is that you might start going for a 12 ring instead of an
- 17:07actual. Instead of a perfect yeah.
- 17:09And and a lot with a lot of these shoots, they they
- 17:12purposely set the target up to be absolutely 100%, just 90°
- 17:17broadside when you're almost never.
- 17:21Gonna. Have a little quarter or
- 17:23something and. In which case, like your
- 17:29absolute kill shot might be just inside an 8 ring.
- 17:35If it's if it's if that animal's quartering away from you, it's
- 17:38it's going to go in through the 88 ring and then come out
- 17:40through the the front or something like that.
- 17:43Dude for sure on on some 3D targets.
- 17:46I think maybe someone like the mule deer.
- 17:49I swear sometimes. That's like the the cougar, or
- 17:54like the jumping cougar, or like the standing sitting hog one
- 18:00where the target of the like they're just absolutely nowhere
- 18:04near like even close to where vinyls would be similar, they're
- 18:08like. That one hog where it's like
- 18:10legs. Or the Central Warthog.
- 18:11Yeah, I love that target. That's that's one of my
- 18:13favorite. Targets, but it's true like the
- 18:15rings on that are so far back like you're hitting almost like
- 18:18mid, mid, belly. Yeah, Downward facing, Warthog
- 18:22downward. But there's I I sure you know
- 18:25what, there's some of the like mule deer targets where the
- 18:28ideal hunting shot that I want to shoot for is A5.
- 18:33It's like a borderline 5 because it's below.
- 18:36They kind of set everything high and I want to hit like as low as
- 18:40I can pretty much. And it's like I would almost hit
- 18:44that the seam of the insert if I really pinwheeled them like I
- 18:49want it. Well, that's like.
- 18:50It is. I agree with you.
- 18:52It would be. I wonder what 3D would look like
- 18:54if the targets were still had score rings but based 100%
- 18:59target that. Yes, they're very expensive.
- 19:02Yeah, there are. What are those called?
- 19:04I don't remember. There's a name for them, but.
- 19:07Adjust it I. Have that poison oak, so we've
- 19:09been cutting trails. Bro, OK, I was wondering what
- 19:13have you faced? Yeah.
- 19:14So we've been cutting trails. For it looked a lot worse.
- 19:17A couple days ago. His eyes.
- 19:19Are like a little shop. Actually this morning I was at
- 19:22lunch. I'm just doing this.
- 19:23What are you doing? I was like, it's that.
- 19:24Point It feels so good. It does, yeah.
- 19:27So we've been cutting the trails for the shoot so no one else has
- 19:30to get poison oak. Basically we wanted to get it
- 19:33cut real early this year so we can go twice a month till the
- 19:36shoot and just spray the shit out of the side.
- 19:39So it's like, why no poison oak? So we got hammered,
- 19:41unfortunately. But yeah, she doesn't get it,
- 19:44dude. But are you?
- 19:45Immune. I guess so.
- 19:47We even yesterday we took the dog out for a hike and we found
- 19:50some. Right now everything's kind of
- 19:52dormant, where we're starting to kind of get some buds for
- 19:54leaves, but for the most part just looks like dead vineage.
- 19:58We went out on a hike yesterday and there was some ripe poison.
- 20:02I mean it. Was just sort of listening.
- 20:04So he's just like, you can find out.
- 20:07I was like, all right, so I just ripped it off the Bush.
- 20:09I pulled down my arm was like. Oh.
- 20:12Nothing. I got nothing.
- 20:14I mean, it was soaking in oil and I got nothing.
- 20:17I get boils. Like me too.
- 20:20Like, like, like, disgusting, like leprosy.
- 20:24Balls. Yeah.
- 20:26You'll be good at the shoot thanks to me, but.
- 20:29I do appreciate. It but like, it was crazy
- 20:33because the stuff that we're cutting through it doesn't even
- 20:36have leaves at all. But I I always knew you could
- 20:38get it off just the stems we got.
- 20:41We got smoke pretty good. But dude, I know last year it's
- 20:45funny. I was talking to him about our
- 20:46shoot and all those guys were like, your whole group is like,
- 20:50dude, this is a lot of hiking, bro.
- 20:52Like this year bro is like double the amount of hiking,
- 20:55like we're going to horrible ass.
- 20:58Dude, how much time we have in between?
- 21:01You got a couple months, but I'll.
- 21:02Just go Telegraph Pass. Dude, twice a week bring AE bike
- 21:05just passing people E bike would be crazy.
- 21:14Yeah, it's a I was out there for them.
- 21:17I'm trying to create maps for them this year on a website and
- 21:20maps. Are.
- 21:23Safe. You know, dropping things on
- 21:24Onyx and like following behind them.
- 21:28That's where I'm put them on right now.
- 21:29So all the the pins and then I go and I hide them all.
- 21:32I screenshot my Onyx and then I go back to make it look prettier
- 21:36than Onyx does. I take it into Canva and find
- 21:39each spot and make it the creative version.
- 21:43So it's a lot of work, but I'm like 100 or more yards behind
- 21:47them and I'm just like how much longer?
- 21:49Just this kid going uphill. Dude the map.
- 21:54Dude the map she's making are slick, bro.
- 21:57Like because I used to go to whatever, like Knott's Berry
- 22:02Farm or some shit when I was a kid.
- 22:03Like we'd go one time, and I always thought the maps were so
- 22:06cool the like anime. Like the Disney?
- 22:10Map and I was like, can you make that dude, the map she's making
- 22:12literally look like Disney maps dude.
- 22:15Like, they're so sick and I was like, I can't wait to put put
- 22:18these out, but yeah, it's. Something my favorite shot
- 22:21though this that you've set so far is 1 map picked out that
- 22:25uphill. 1. It's like the only uphill.
- 22:28There's maybe. Some, but like nothing like this
- 22:30one. It's just like and then you
- 22:34climb it all the way up and that was one of the ones like there's
- 22:36a lot of stuff this year we cut in.
- 22:37There's just no trails. It's just straight through
- 22:40poison oak just go. So we're making all of the new
- 22:44trails and it is rough, but the hikes are.
- 22:49Oh dude, it'll. For the people, I told him I
- 22:50kind of feel bad for the people buying one day passes because
- 22:53like, they're just, I don't think there's any way this year,
- 22:57if, especially if it were busy, like there's no way you're
- 23:00getting through all three courses in one day, I don't feel
- 23:02unless you're by yourself shooting.
- 23:04Goals though, if you're doing. One day.
- 23:05You're cool shooting too, yeah yeah, but even doing shoot, even
- 23:11doing like if you're not in shape, even just doing one is
- 23:13going to whoop your ass. Yeah, well, there's just some
- 23:16steep sections too, like I I told him.
- 23:20So man, it's like we need to put.
- 23:21There's even one. I was just like just put one
- 23:23step in, just one step in the dirt at least, 'cause there's
- 23:26some people whose knees or some older people they're gonna give
- 23:29out and. Yes.
- 23:31It's not balance to find sort of.
- 23:33But no, it'll it'll I think it'll be great.
- 23:35Just like I can't wait for y'all shoot in April.
- 23:39Debbie, what an Angel. Yes, I love Debbie.
- 23:43Yeah, she's she's she's a gym. The first time Brianna met
- 23:46Debbie, I was like that Lady, right?
- 23:48There's a beast and. She's the first conversation had
- 23:51Debbie her elk. I said show her a picture of
- 23:54your elk. Just a hammer Bold.
- 23:57Super unassumingly. Ever since, I'm like, Debbie can
- 24:01do it. I can.
- 24:02Do Debbie. I love Debbie, man.
- 24:04She's so sweet and she came up to me and she's like hey, would
- 24:08you by chance want to come to our thing and have a have a like
- 24:11a booth or sponsor. And I said I'll tell you what
- 24:14Debbie I would love to schedule you know and then I text Scotty
- 24:19because I don't I don't like I have her number so I text but I
- 24:21was like I'm going to come because I just get it was clear
- 24:23that weekend. So I'm excited for it and what
- 24:26new merch by then? Excellent.
- 24:29New tease, maybe, yeah, but Brianna going to be slinging
- 24:32merch and selling shoot tickets. I'm going to be trying to win an
- 24:37event, you know. What he's saying is I have no
- 24:40chance of winning, so he's. Going to go, you said you didn't
- 24:43want to shoot you. Said you want to?
- 24:44Oh yeah, I'd rather just. Me and David, maybe we'll
- 24:47finally group up. Let's do it.
- 24:49Actually, we grouped up the first time we met.
- 24:51Yes. Just be aware that for this one,
- 24:53you're only allowed to be in a group with one other person that
- 24:56you know. Shit.
- 24:57So you and me. That's it?
- 24:58Yeah. That's perfect.
- 24:59I'm not coming with anyone else, so.
- 25:01Yeah, and I won't be able to compete in it cuz I'm setting up
- 25:04the trails, but I can. Shoot.
- 25:07Shoot. Still.
- 25:08Yeah, but no, Debbie Debbie's an absolute hammer and she she's
- 25:12had, she had a shoulder injury that she's been recovering from
- 25:15and I believe it is her it, it is her bow arm.
- 25:18So she was out at Blythe when we were out there at 50 mile per
- 25:24hour winds and she's got, she's got a bow tech and it's, I don't
- 25:28know, it's a couple year old bow tech, but it's the 28 Axel to
- 25:32Axel and she just had like a basic stabilizer, a really
- 25:37lightweight sight on it. And like I picked up her bow and
- 25:41I was like, shit, this is heavy Debbie, good Lord, she's like,
- 25:45yeah, it's great isn't it. And I was like, all right, man,
- 25:48but like she. She wait to it.
- 25:50Yeah, she she holds it up there like a tank.
- 25:52And she she shot really, really well.
- 25:54She's she's a, she's a hammer. She'll she'll get a Turkey with
- 25:58a bow, which I hate turkeys. I want to.
- 26:01I want to kill a Turkey so bad. You don't like them.
- 26:04I have recent so this goes back to.
- 26:08I can't wait for this goes back to Ohio tree stand hunting and
- 26:16I've you know I've I've I was a Ohio Midwest tree stand hunter
- 26:20for a long time. You know I got a saddle
- 26:24afterwards just because of the safety factor.
- 26:26But public land never had my own land to hunt on.
- 26:30So you know you're you're out there with with whatever you do,
- 26:33your own scouting, all of that stuff.
- 26:36And I've I've been out Turkey hunting in Ohio a couple times
- 26:41and I've never seen nor heard a Turkey in Ohio during Turkey
- 26:46season. And this is what a shotgun I was
- 26:49trying to you know, Elmer Fudd, my way through the woods to try
- 26:52to kill a Turkey and I swear every single deer season and I
- 26:57have, I have footage of this. I will without fail, almost
- 27:02every weekend I go out, I will have a flock of 40 turkeys go
- 27:06directly below my stand and it's just like I could drop a rock
- 27:10and kill one of these turkeys and then during Turkey season,
- 27:14they just. Disappear, it's just.
- 27:16Like, you know, they're out, they're out there like.
- 27:22David, Dude, what a Ledger. I hate turkeys and I actually
- 27:28like eating Turkey, so I would love to.
- 27:32Turkeys are not nearly as good though, as a store bought
- 27:34Turkey, that's true. They're so lean and wiry, at
- 27:37least the ones we have here. I would love to sever the head
- 27:39of a Turkey, yeah, with feast upon its lifeless corpse.
- 27:44The guillotine, remember? The.
- 27:47Damn, I think Josh Bomar has a slow MO or he used to guillotine
- 27:53the the Turkey head just goes flying up in the air.
- 27:56Like 2-2 angles too. It's crazy.
- 27:59He films, dude. He has new camera filming on
- 28:01this 400 frames, 400,000 frames a second or something.
- 28:04It's crazy. I think it's called like a
- 28:09remember that, a phantom. Phantom, yeah.
- 28:12And didn't they say the camera cost like 200,000?
- 28:14Dollars. Yes, it does.
- 28:16He's, he's got that, he's got the money for.
- 28:17That so, don't worry. About that.
- 28:19That's cool though. I mean, hey, life is about a
- 28:21dream, you know? I've also heard he films
- 28:24absolutely everything. Like what?
- 28:27What you what you see on his channel is like 1% of what, but
- 28:31he's got a team that that does that for.
- 28:33Him. That's the thing.
- 28:34If you have like people filming with you, like I've thought
- 28:36about getting the intern and just like kind of like film like
- 28:39stuff I haven't normally like I don't know like packing merch
- 28:44sales and like going and shipping them and then like
- 28:46going and shooting, hitting the like shit like that.
- 28:48I'm like, maybe that would be good, but I'm like, I don't
- 28:51know. The juice has to be worth the
- 28:53squeeze. Exactly.
- 28:54And I don't think it is, you know.
- 28:56Not at this point, not at this. Point, Yeah.
- 28:58Maybe at some point, but. If you were getting to a point
- 29:01where you were, you were pumping out stuff and the demand was
- 29:06actually there because that the the demand is half half of it
- 29:09like you've you've when you if you get a you know section of
- 29:13the Internet who is demanding more stuff from you then that
- 29:17might be the time to do it a. 100%, yeah.
- 29:20And it's funny because we talk about this a lot in the pod
- 29:23actually is how much different your demand is on a different
- 29:28platforms because we post everywhere, you know, and
- 29:32YouTube is like, I would say our home base.
- 29:35That's like where it started. It's the main thing but then on
- 29:38other platforms like the follower number may be higher
- 29:41but it's like the the engagement is just like not quite the same
- 29:45as it is on YouTube, you know. And I always think about that
- 29:48like I think about these girls on Instagram that are like their
- 29:53only fans type of girls like no for real.
- 29:55But then they'll try to start a YouTube and like they can carry
- 29:58an Instagram or an only fans because they're carrying it with
- 30:02their looks, but they're not speaking or anything and some of
- 30:06them. Are the women.
- 30:08Not necessarily the most. They can't carry a 20 minute
- 30:13video, you know what I mean? But they can carry a I don't
- 30:21know. So I'm saying like there is that
- 30:23difference of like can you carry a short form content or can you
- 30:27carry something that's. Now that I feel like that's
- 30:29even, like, whether you're only fans or just like a a girl who's
- 30:33in like the outdoor community, like sometimes, you know,
- 30:35there's some I'm not going to hate on women, but like there's
- 30:38some out there just there to take.
- 30:40Like, I'm sure they hunt too. I'm sure they shoot but like
- 30:44what's going on the the Graham is like the pretty photo of them
- 30:48shooting their bow and then they get like 150,000 followers and
- 30:52they translate that to a YouTube and.
- 30:55Then like, four people watch the YouTube.
- 30:57Yeah, you know what I mean. Have you ever tried to like talk
- 31:02on a video by yourself for more than 10 minutes?
- 31:07Like like there are people out there who can just talk all day?
- 31:11Like Chael, Sonnen is one of them where he just like he
- 31:14should just talk and it doesn't matter.
- 31:16What a gem of life as. Well, but like, have you ever
- 31:19tried to do I? Have I have, so I've done it on
- 31:21some reviews I had to think about it.
- 31:23But yes, I have and and. It's hard.
- 31:26You got to. Kind of have a script sort of
- 31:28for sit like that. Like you got to have the ideas
- 31:30kind of at least in your head, like how you want them to lie.
- 31:34Now I think that's the key. Unless you're Chael Sonnen or
- 31:38something, like there's some people that are just super
- 31:42unbelievably entertaining, Like Chael Sonnen is one of them.
- 31:46Dave Portnoy to me is one of them.
- 31:49Trump obviously is one of them. Whether you hate him or not,
- 31:52Trump is the funniest, most entertaining dude Probably of
- 31:57all time. For three hours.
- 31:59He is. He could go forever.
- 32:01Dude, did you see the one the other day where he goes?
- 32:04It's so bright, these lights in my face.
- 32:06I can't. I can always see the black
- 32:09people. Oh my God, dude, did you see it?
- 32:13No. He goes, he goes.
- 32:14Look how far we've. Come look how far we've come
- 32:20because he can't see, dude, it's priceless nude.
- 32:23I saw one where he was talking. I think it was when Vivek
- 32:27dropped out and you know, he, he talked for like 20 minutes and
- 32:31he brought Vivek up. He talked for 20 minutes and
- 32:34then and then Trump came on and talked for another 30 minutes
- 32:37and then and I don't know like if this was a plan, but during
- 32:43the speech they started playing like this, this music that was
- 32:46just like like super rising and stuff like that.
- 32:49And he and you could tell like, it was like the, yeah.
- 32:52The music was like, was like his cue to like go into like this
- 32:59mode of speaking where he was just talking about the future
- 33:02and stuff like that. And then he did that for 20
- 33:04minutes. I don't know how they got a song
- 33:06that long for him to speak. And then he wrapped it all up in
- 33:09the video end and I was like, this is ridiculous, dude, this
- 33:13is ridiculous. Oh.
- 33:15God, dude. Some people, like I said just
- 33:17have it, dude. Then he got it like he he
- 33:21hasn't. Probably more than anybody,
- 33:23dude. More than.
- 33:23Anyone. The only guy who, I mean.
- 33:25I do think Portnoy is very good at this, too.
- 33:28Like, he'd have some person, he's eating his pizza, someone
- 33:33walks by on the sidewalk and somehow it's like the most wild
- 33:37interaction. He's like eating a pepper that a
- 33:39homeless dude gave him. And he's like, well, just random
- 33:42shit he does. And I'm like he, you know,
- 33:45there's a reason at work. Or who's the one that almost
- 33:48uncomfortable to watch? Oh, Danny Mullen.
- 33:52Danny Mullen's a little different because.
- 33:54He does interact Danny like his show system and the one dude on.
- 33:58But Danny Mullen is kind of putting on and he does it very
- 34:02well, but it seems he kind of putting on a little bit of a
- 34:06show and he's very good at it for sure.
- 34:08And I love his content, but like Dave, I don't.
- 34:11I think Dave is just being Dave and I think Trump is, to be
- 34:15honest, I think that's him. Like I think that's who I swear
- 34:18if I hung out with him I think he would just be sitting there
- 34:21going, James, we we did it better than anyone ever.
- 34:24We did it the biggest, you know like for real.
- 34:28I think he would. Dude, my favorite.
- 34:30And I would love it. Oh, I would love it.
- 34:32My favorite Dave Portnoy interaction is the one where
- 34:35like and I actually knew about this guy before he was on Dave
- 34:38Portnoy or on the Pizza Review it it's the it's the homeless
- 34:43guy with no arms and he and he stabbed like 3 people and he and
- 34:50like Dave is doing his review and like the guy comes up to him
- 34:55and Dave like kind of like looks by he's like don't forget to
- 34:58feed the homeless and he's got this he's got the the the bag
- 35:01under his arm and and Dave just goes and he stares at him like
- 35:05walking away and he's just like how's he holding that he goes he
- 35:12goes how. How's he holding though?
- 35:14Yeah, dude. And he's just flabbergasted and
- 35:18there's a 5 minute sequence where he's just like, I don't
- 35:21know what to do right now. One of the all time.
- 35:23It just complete, just completely derailed the entire.
- 35:26Pizza review. That's one of the best ones of
- 35:28all time. Or the one recently.
- 35:30I don't know if you saw it where the guy, it's the one where Dave
- 35:34doing the review outside and the guy comes out and he goes, hey,
- 35:36this is public prop, this is my business.
- 35:39You got to get out of here. They have this whole fight on
- 35:42the sidewalk basically. And it went like mainstream.
- 35:45It was on like the news and shit.
- 35:47Did you see this one? Yeah, dude.
- 35:49The crazy part about that is that that guy, he didn't want
- 35:53more business because he's already at Max capacity.
- 35:56And then after that interaction, he got more business than he
- 36:01wanted. Like people went there just
- 36:03because of that interaction with him and it was just like and so
- 36:08yeah. 100% like there's a place in San Diego actually that he
- 36:12went to that he gave like an 8 two, I think like so a high
- 36:16score. And still to this day they get
- 36:19crazy traffic because of it. Yeah, you know, and that was
- 36:22like 4 years ago, but the the pizza is great, you know, So it
- 36:26goes to show like, I mean that that that's why companies wanted
- 36:29like sponsor and work with athlete.
- 36:31We were talking about Shohei Otani earlier and how he did
- 36:33that huge contract and his endorsement deal or Spotify
- 36:37paying Rogan a ton of money. It's because, you know, like if
- 36:41Dave or somebody's telling you to buy a pizza, like you'll
- 36:44trust him, you know? I I I feel like I heard a story
- 36:47where they where they made-up the first two years of Shohei
- 36:52Otani's contract in the first like month just on merge sales.
- 36:57I believe it. I believe it.
- 36:59And I also watched another video where they were saying that when
- 37:05you looked at the ads at Angel Stadium or even when he was on
- 37:08away games, the ads behind home plate would all be Japanese
- 37:13because they would call in and buy the ads for when he was
- 37:16playing. So they're they were explaining
- 37:18how the Dodgers revenues about to just blow through the roof
- 37:22because not only is are they selling a ton of merge, but
- 37:25they're also getting all these new advertisers.
- 37:28So they're like, yeah, we'll pay them $700 million, but we'll
- 37:31make it back in two years. But you know who was the 1st to
- 37:35do that right? MJ.
- 37:37Oh, for sure, Yeah. They like there was there was
- 37:40no, there's no other force in the world like MJ.
- 37:44They look at Jordan still. This day we'll we'll watch these
- 37:47sneaker videos on YouTube. That's insane.
- 37:49And like, but the resale markets insane.
- 37:53Some of these shoe stores in LA, they'll come in, sell these.
- 37:56Jordan, would you? Pay A. $1000 No I.
- 37:59Here's. Here's what I figured out.
- 38:00I These are $9 shoes from Walmart because I destroy $9
- 38:07shoes from Walmart. Exactly the same as $200 Nike.
- 38:10So it doesn't matter to me someone makes one of my shoes, I
- 38:13go, I don't care. I actually.
- 38:14Think those are slick shoes? They're super comfortable and
- 38:18they're like $9, so whatever. I'm I'm the same way I can't but
- 38:23I think the videos are entertaining.
- 38:25Those sneaker videos like I think they are entertaining the
- 38:27another great YouTube is whistling Diesel.
- 38:30You ever watch this stuff? Is that Oh no, that's heavy duty
- 38:35spark. No, he's a guy who wreck wrecks
- 38:38Lambos and. Gosh Sponsor.
- 38:40Trucks and shit. Have you seen them?
- 38:42No, I'm not. Dude, so he goes to the sneaker.
- 38:44It's just a reckless use of money.
- 38:47What a life where you just get to wreck Lamborghinis.
- 38:50Yeah, so he'll do, just do it, giveaway.
- 38:52My favorite one he did is like the sneaker community is like,
- 38:55it's like that's like God bro, like this sneakers.
- 38:59He goes into this high end sneaker show store selling
- 39:02Jordans and shit and he buys like a one of fifty of those
- 39:06self lacing Nikes and I think he bought them for like 60 grand in
- 39:10the video. Is that the one where it's from?
- 39:14From back-to-back to the Future. So he buys an authentic pair at
- 39:18the store, gets the whole card, everything.
- 39:21It's like I said, there's not that many of them.
- 39:23And then the next clip, he's like walking across nails and
- 39:26stuff, like like nails pointing out of the thing.
- 39:29He's walking across fire, like just like torching these shoes.
- 39:34But so many people eat up the comments because, like, you
- 39:37know, it's probably a lot of haters.
- 39:40Oh, it I I can guarantee 75% haters, but it doesn't.
- 39:44He does not care. Because the more haters, the
- 39:47more traffic. Dude, he rolled Jake Paul into
- 39:51one of his boxing fights on a tank.
- 39:55So he drove one of his tanks with Jake Paul into the boxing
- 39:59ring. That guy is insane.
- 40:03I can't even picture using money that when you've got so much
- 40:08that you can just literally like you could start your fire with
- 40:13your 100 or $1000. Pills.
- 40:15I think a lot of that too, is probably the snowball effect,
- 40:18where people know that he do it and so they just give him stuff
- 40:20for free to destroy so he doesn't have to.
- 40:23It's not on his dime. And they know it's kind of new
- 40:26berserk views, you know. So I think like we were talking
- 40:30about it the other day, I'd be curious your thoughts on this
- 40:32since you know you also edit, make content, but what
- 40:37advertisers pay a ton of money for is for views like ultimately
- 40:42like that's why Super Bowl ads cost a tremendous amount.
- 40:47So it's not necessarily for the person or the product or it it
- 40:53really comes down to you. If you're promoting a product,
- 40:55you want to spend the money where it's going to get the most
- 40:58views. I would views maybe if views
- 41:05equal revenue share yes. Because you could have some
- 41:11something where some something gets a ton of views IE Kid Rock
- 41:16and then things plummet. So I would think I I think that
- 41:19they pay for ultimately they like money money talks they pay
- 41:23for if if somebody is if someone is popular and and this is where
- 41:30I think that it's it's weird to watch corporate or mainstream
- 41:37media because they don't they think they're still the most
- 41:44popular thing around there but then that's unbelievable.
- 41:47You realize that it it's like they don't they're not even
- 41:50aware that like Jake Jake Paul exists.
- 41:53So they'll just like when when they talk about like somebody
- 41:56like Jake Paul or something like that they'll be like oh a
- 41:58YouTube who got it a YouTube got into boxing like love it.
- 42:02It's just that's so yeah they are so unaware of what happens
- 42:06but I I think that they they advertise or they ultimately
- 42:12they do that for a result. It is.
- 42:16It is results driven, whether that's views or they want it to,
- 42:20they want it to equal money. It just seems like, I agree, of
- 42:23course it's results driven, but it seems the result they base
- 42:26mostly off views. The only reason I think that is
- 42:29because the Super Bowl demands so much money for the ads and
- 42:34they sell out like they have no problem selling them out, you
- 42:36know, but there's. Only there's only a limited
- 42:39number and. Well, that's where I think it's.
- 42:41Finite, yeah. It's it's a a tie, like set
- 42:43between the the two things because it's not just the views,
- 42:48but it's because, you know, Super Bowl ads are notoriously
- 42:51known for being iconic. Yeah, so people are extra.
- 42:55Engaged, too. Yeah.
- 42:56So, like, if you can, you know, make a banger Super Bowl ad,
- 43:04that thing's going to be talked about for weeks on end.
- 43:06And then the, you know, it's not just your ad that gets seen by
- 43:13billions of people. But then, you know, your ad gets
- 43:16turned into memes. Your ad gets used in other
- 43:18people's YouTube videos. Your ad gets talked about on
- 43:21podcast. Your ad gets talked about on the
- 43:23news. And so you're you made one
- 43:27really expensive ad that got a million bajillion views, but now
- 43:32it's turned into hundreds of thousands of free views because
- 43:37people spin your ads. So that's why I think probably
- 43:41people use do that like Super Bowl prime example, but ads and.
- 43:47And and another thing too, with doing a Super Bowl ad is
- 43:51immediately you're in pop culture.
- 43:53It's the minute it comes out, it's it's pop culture because
- 43:56people are tweeting about it right away, you know?
- 44:00So there's nowhere else like if you do an ad on Dateline NBC
- 44:04that's not in pop culture. No one's watching that, you
- 44:07know. I think there is the law of
- 44:11diminishing returns for that though as well like I I I think
- 44:14that a lot of those commercials have the the price has out
- 44:21outdone what it what the price should do.
- 44:26Because, I mean, when when you think about what the Super Bowls
- 44:29used to be, I mean there was a point where it was all about the
- 44:33game. And then there was a point where
- 44:35like, all this crazy stuff happened around the Super Bowl,
- 44:38like Justin Timberlake ripping the jacks.
- 44:41Like, yeah, and and then and then it it got to a point where.
- 44:45Miley Cyrus dancing with the crazy and then Katy Perry with
- 44:50the sharks. It became a meme.
- 44:51Yeah, I see what you're saying. Like it's kind of changed.
- 44:54What the? Yeah, and so and, but, but even
- 44:58then like the the ads got more and more ridiculous, but they
- 45:03got more and more ridiculous. So people started watching the
- 45:05ads for the ridiculousness and then it got so ridiculous that
- 45:08like, it does the excitement over the ads waned a little bit
- 45:12and then now it's sort of hit an equilibrium.
- 45:15But the prices keep going up for that to a ridiculous amount and
- 45:20I don't, I don't think that they do as much as as people think
- 45:26they do. I I I've obviously don't have
- 45:28any numbers to back that up. But I mean when you used to look
- 45:31at Super Bowl ads, it used to be it, it used to be crazy, the
- 45:36amount of engagement you could get on that.
- 45:38But but now, I mean I don't remember a single Super Bowl
- 45:41Bowl ad. I'm sorry, the problem.
- 45:42Is there's so much I I mean I remember a couple, but I think
- 45:46the difference is nowadays I think any sort of content is
- 45:51tough for from an advertiser's perspective because there's so
- 45:56much content in the world now. I mean, you got, you know, you
- 46:02can listen to stuff on Spotify, walk into the car, you get to
- 46:05the car, you might pop a YouTube video on your, you know, on.
- 46:08The thing there's. And then you get home.
- 46:11Music or Apple podcast or whatever and whatever other
- 46:14podcast there are. And then all the other social
- 46:16media platforms, And then YouTube.
- 46:20What's the new? What's the joke about it?
- 46:22Noah starts with P, where everybody puts their more
- 46:28scandalous content. Patreon.
- 46:31Patreon. Patreon or only fans?
- 46:35But like, I think that because there's such a like a huge,
- 46:39never ending flow of content, I agree with you, it's kind of
- 46:42like you blow that much money and then it's like your contents
- 46:46just down the river. And that's where you get a guy
- 46:48crashing a plane on purpose. Or some shit.
- 46:51Yeah, right. Like, because you know it's
- 46:52going to get traction. But again, even something like
- 46:55that, you can get the wildest piece of footage, dude, the
- 46:58wildest shit. And it'll be done in two weeks.
- 47:01I think the reason why companies buy the Super Bowl ads and of
- 47:07course the pricing on the Super Bowl ad varies based off of what
- 47:12quarter you're going to be in and the timing of all that stuff
- 47:15like around the halftime show. I think they're they're higher
- 47:19because people are, you know, stuff like that exactly.
- 47:22I think a lot of those companies feel like it is worth it for if
- 47:28that viral moment happens right before or after their
- 47:34commercial. I'll give you an example.
- 47:36So you're a baseball guy. Yeah.
- 47:38You remember when Bo Jackson was, you know, coming up and he
- 47:41was A2 Sport star, and then he, he was on the Kansas City Royals
- 47:45and then they did the All Star game.
- 47:47Well, they did. They were in the middle of the
- 47:52All Star game and then it was right before he was about to do
- 47:55his first at bat. And then the commercial.
- 47:59Bonos plays this famous commercial that he had with I
- 48:05think Nike for the trainers. The second he gets back from
- 48:09that commercial, he cranks a fucking home run.
- 48:13Yeah, And it was just the most, it was the most perfect segue
- 48:18from advertising to real life that anyone had ever seen.
- 48:23And it was, it was the crazy. It was viral before.
- 48:26It was before viral was even. Yeah, the Internet wouldn't even
- 48:29like a Yeah, dude, that's. I feel like that.
- 48:32I feel like for a lot of companies it is worth it if like
- 48:35you know. Just off catching lightning in a
- 48:37bottle maybe. And I mean also these companies
- 48:40that are buying these commercials are doing so much
- 48:43revenue, they're like they don't care if it gets a return so
- 48:46much. Yeah, it's more about like being
- 48:48in the social landscape, I think, which also brings me back
- 48:52to our treat. See, I'm bringing it back.
- 48:54Yeah. This guy shoots a pink elite.
- 48:57So when we were talking about 3 and you getting into Target way
- 49:01back in the beginning of this, I wanted to ask them the
- 49:03conversation ventured elsewhere ADHD but so did that bow.
- 49:09Like does Elite, it offers that color bow.
- 49:13They don't anymore. I'm hoping to bring it back.
- 49:17Elite doesn't know I exist, but it's fine.
- 49:20Be the reason I would My first bow was an elite and I sold it
- 49:25when James convinced me you know go Bo tech and I did it and I
- 49:28do. I do like mine, but I you know,
- 49:33if they brought back I would probably switch to Elite in a
- 49:38harp. I'm.
- 49:42Sorry, that is his. Like the second I saw you post
- 49:46that bow, I was like, Oh my God, I just fell in love.
- 49:52This is the most beautiful bow I've ever seen in my life.
- 49:55It is the police bow. Yeah, it.
- 49:57Is a. Beautiful pink.
- 49:59It's not like hot pink. It's not like, you know, I was
- 50:03weird like salmon or like, I don't know.
- 50:05It's just. No, it's pretty.
- 50:07It is beautiful. It's.
- 50:08Called Sunset Pink. And it.
- 50:11Is it is the most beautiful bow. Ever.
- 50:13All right, so here's my question.
- 50:14One thing I kind of like about David is he does videos and
- 50:18he's, I love the color grading you've been posting lately.
- 50:22Use Da Vinci for color or I do Da Vinci.
- 50:24OK, here's the thing. I like his shit because he uses
- 50:29different gear than a lot of people kind of like me.
- 50:31I don't use like nobody. Like not too many people use
- 50:34these yet. More and more, but and same with
- 50:37the arrows. But like or the Bowtech even
- 50:40like, not a ton of people shoot Bowtech.
- 50:42So I like that you shoot Elite. The release that you shoot, I
- 50:45don't see a ton of people shoot. Why do you shoot Elite number
- 50:50one. And then the release, I know you
- 50:52love, 'cause I see you posting about it.
- 50:53What, like, got you into shooting those?
- 50:56Why do you like them? Like, why do you like some of
- 50:58the gear that you like? There are two very long stories
- 51:02for both the release and the bow.
- 51:04OK, I will attempt to shorten that.
- 51:06All right. Yeah, OK, give me the four
- 51:09minute version. For the bow, OK we went to hike
- 51:14to hunt two years ago and it's it's up in Flagstaff, AZ and
- 51:21it's in the middle of July so you go from 114° to 70° as a
- 51:26high in six hours. So you get up there and my my
- 51:32buddy and I went up there together and we go out in the
- 51:36trails with I've got my crappiest set of boots on.
- 51:39I've got, I think these, which are again, like Walmart pants
- 51:44because I go through pants, especially in the crotch
- 51:46portion, like crazy. I rip.
- 51:49I rip pants open like crazy. So I I buy cheap pants.
- 51:51But. Big a hog.
- 51:53Yeah, you know, no, just just just legs that rub together.
- 51:58And I'm. I'm in a T-shirt.
- 52:01Yeah. I'm in a T-shirt with my 8 year
- 52:04old beau and you know we're we're out there and we roll up
- 52:08there and we are in the middle of what looks like, I don't
- 52:15know, I could only be it could only be described as like the
- 52:18Monaco of the hunting world we had.
- 52:21There are $150,000 GMCS rolling up with lift kits, everybody
- 52:26getting out with $3000 worth of Sitka $400.00 crispy booze.
- 52:32They've got the latest Bose, they've got all the latest
- 52:34gadgets and it was everybody and and Fritz, my buddy and I are
- 52:39looking at each other like. With more outcasts.
- 52:42Right now, Well, not even that. We were just like, these guys
- 52:44must be like really good and. We.
- 52:49We get on the course and this guy, it is July.
- 52:54It's. I want to make it clear it's
- 52:56July. There's nothing in hunting
- 52:58season. Nothing in season.
- 53:00And this dude is dressed head to toe in Sitka.
- 53:04He has the entire neck gaiter. The only thing you can see are
- 53:08his eyeballs. He has an.
- 53:10He has a Hoyt RX7 was. It Halloween.
- 53:13Oh my God, He had a Hoyt RX7 crispy boots.
- 53:16And so we're shooting a, A AA60 yard shot at AI don't know, a
- 53:23big a big elk target. It was not a difficult shot.
- 53:28And so we shoot and he goes, he goes, Oh yeah, yeah, go ahead
- 53:31goes. I'm going to, I'm going to move
- 53:32up. And I was like, are you fucking
- 53:34kidding me? You're going to move up dressed
- 53:36like that? You're going to move.
- 53:38You're going to move up to like what?
- 53:3940 He has his $400.00 sitcom outfit.
- 53:42Off I was like this is. Ridiculous.
- 53:44This is. Ridiculous.
- 53:45And my buddy was on the, my buddy was on another trail and
- 53:48he's dressed in jeans. He's a good old boy.
- 53:50You know, he like and he's with this, he's with this other group
- 53:55and they were nice guys. But you know this dude was
- 53:58talking himself up and you know Fritz was there.
- 54:01He's, he's talking to him and he's like, and the other guy's
- 54:03like, Yep, got mule deer with a boat 80 yards last year.
- 54:07Got him right through the heart, you know.
- 54:09And and Chris is like, damn, dude, that's fucking crazy, man.
- 54:12I wouldn't take a shot at more than like 50 with my skills.
- 54:16And so they go to a they go to a shot at at 40 yards.
- 54:20Fritz hits like an 8 and he's like it wasn't an impressive
- 54:22shot, dude. Fucking missed.
- 54:25He's just like, no, he turns the guy around.
- 54:27He's like, are you fucking kidding me?
- 54:2980 yards. Really.
- 54:31Yeah. I I don't I don't believe that
- 54:32for a second. So anyways we get done with that
- 54:35and I'm I'm like I'm like these guys are fucking ridiculous like
- 54:39they're showing this is this is a dress up cost contest this is
- 54:43a dress. This is this is a this is a
- 54:46fashion show disguised as an archery shoot and I was like
- 54:49this is ridiculous. I shouldn't have been afraid of
- 54:51these guys. You know I was we were we were
- 54:53super you know we got super intimidated immediately We we
- 54:57should not have and that taught me a lesson.
- 54:59But I my, my hunting bow got messed up and I had to restrain
- 55:04and I had to get new limbs. I had to do all that.
- 55:08So I was down a bow and so we get to Sunday fun day and this
- 55:12was like a this was like a year afterwards and my my buddy is
- 55:16shooting his Copper echelon Elite Echelon.
- 55:20And I was and I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do.
- 55:22So I, I went out to film and my buddy dump was like, hey, why
- 55:26don't you shoot my echelon? You know, we can shoot it
- 55:28together. Our draw length there's pretty
- 55:30much similar. And I was like cool, This is a
- 55:32little bit shorter than mine. So I wasn't very comfortable,
- 55:34but I outshot him with his own bow that day.
- 55:39And I was like, this thing is really nice and it has a solid
- 55:43back wall which I like to crank on the back wall.
- 55:46Has a very firm back wall for. Very firm back wall and I was
- 55:49like this is, this is really nice.
- 55:50So we get we get to do our podcast and Scotty he goes, hey
- 55:58podium Archer is selling elite echelons on on eBay and he goes,
- 56:03hey I have the perfect one for you.
- 56:04And I was like, OK and he shows me and it's the sunset pink bow.
- 56:08And I was like, I immediate was like, oh, I have an idea you go
- 56:12to these archery shoots with all of these dudes dressed.
- 56:16Yeah exactly. And then you show up with a pink
- 56:18bow and smoke them. How just emasculating would that
- 56:25just be to everybody there? And you will smoke them.
- 56:28They've been a good shooter, real good shooter.
- 56:31So I mean that's for sure. And I've gotten better since
- 56:35I've gotten that bow, but it hasn't generated the the
- 56:39attention people go, oh, nice bow.
- 56:40And I'm like that's not what I'm looking.
- 56:43For. I'm hoping you're gonna talk
- 56:45shit to me and then I'm gonna go.
- 56:48I'll meet you out on course #1 and we'll see how this works.
- 56:50Just. Secretly, all men are feeling
- 56:52the same. Thing.
- 56:54That you were when you saw the bow.
- 56:56They're actually like, damn, not.
- 57:00Which they? Just don't want to say it.
- 57:02So they're like, yeah, that's nice, you know?
- 57:04Quick segue before we get into the the release.
- 57:08Also he mentioned podium marcher.
- 57:10If you use CODE PUMP STATION ALL CAPS on podiummarcher.com 10%
- 57:14off. So you know, shout out to Josh
- 57:17again. We're shooting together at tax
- 57:19so we'll see. It should be fun.
- 57:20The people voted for him pretty heavily to win.
- 57:22They did. We'll see.
- 57:26By the way, that elite echelon on that he was selling on eBay,
- 57:30that's how much I paid for it. 1500.
- 57:33No, no, no 500. Bucks.
- 57:35Oh, oh, it's eBay. It's not like 500 bucks like.
- 57:38320. Five.
- 57:39Let's go. Oh, yes.
- 57:42Yeah. That's smart, though.
- 57:43I think Bruce should do that. I tell Bruce all the time I
- 57:45might. I think some of the 11 let.
- 57:47Me, no one buys and just put. It on eBay.
- 57:50It was a six year old, 6 year old technology, unopened box,
- 57:57elite echelon. So it's brand new.
- 57:59Yeah. And it's been.
- 58:02Sitting forever in the shop, so you might as well just, yeah,
- 58:05take a little while, my. Elite.
- 58:07Yeah, she used to be Elite Girl. But tell me about these
- 58:09releases. What are they called B3.
- 58:11Yes, so tell. Me about that.
- 58:13I like hinge releases. I've haunted with a hinge
- 58:16before. I don't mind them.
- 58:22So I I I started off like everybody does with an index.
- 58:27And then struggle with target panic and punching the trigger
- 58:31and stuff like that. And then I was like, oh, this
- 58:35will solve it. I'll just get a thumb button for
- 58:37220. Dollars.
- 58:39Anything. And it does not solve anything.
- 58:41You can punch a thumb just as much as you can punch an index.
- 58:45I don't ever know why people say, you know and the next step
- 58:49up is to go thumb versus. Index.
- 58:51They are the same. Because it's the same car.
- 58:55Step shooting with back tension. Or like surprise release Joel
- 58:59Turner. That's twice in a row right
- 59:01here. I like it, though.
- 59:02I still. It is.
- 59:03I do too, yeah. But if you're shooting like Joel
- 59:06Joel Turner, you know, surprise, surprise, release.
- 59:11Shooting this versus a wrist rocket finger release makes no
- 59:14difference. That's.
- 59:16Style of shooting. It's not a release style.
- 59:20I'm. Just.
- 59:21I'm glad that you mentioned Jill Turner because I get a lot from
- 59:27his teachings as well as from John Dudley.
- 59:30So it was originally John Dudley I switched to cause 'cause it
- 59:35was like it it worked at first. It worked at first because you
- 59:39switched something up. So the things that you were
- 59:42anticipating with an index, you're not anticipating anymore
- 59:45and it's and it's surprising you which means that you're getting
- 59:48better consistency but then you start to get used to that and
- 59:52then it's it happens all over again.
- 59:55So I was not happy with what I was doing and it was July and
- 1:00:00hunting season for bow in Ohio starts usually on September 29th
- 1:00:05somewhere around there and it goes till February 2nd.
- 1:00:08Anytime in between there, you can kill a deer with a bow.
- 1:00:11Anywhere in Ohio, does not matter what the season is.
- 1:00:14You can kill a deer with a bow from September 29th to February
- 1:00:172nd. It's awesome that.
- 1:00:19Is cool, yeah. Yes.
- 1:00:20And so I was like, you know what, I'm not comfortable with
- 1:00:26my current shot process to to smoke a deer.
- 1:00:31I'm going to injure it. I'm going to miss, you know, I'm
- 1:00:33not comfortable. So I made the decision to
- 1:00:35completely and totally breakdown my shot process from from
- 1:00:40ground, from ground up and hopefully get it by September.
- 1:00:45And you know if it doesn't happen by September, I've got
- 1:00:48till February 2nd to do it. So I watched a whole bunch of
- 1:00:51John Dudley videos where he's talking about hinge releases and
- 1:00:54stuff like that and I tried to and I I decided to try that out
- 1:00:58and I liked it at first. My groups did open up, but I
- 1:01:02didn't have any Flyers. And also it's it's weird.
- 1:01:10A weird thing happens with a a hinge release where when you're
- 1:01:16experiencing like a lot of target panic, your your pin will
- 1:01:20sit completely rock steady, like just below 3 inches below the
- 1:01:26target. So then you're like, Oh, well,
- 1:01:27I'll just move my pin to or I'll just move my yardage to where
- 1:01:32it's. But once you get into something
- 1:01:34where you're ranging, you're never going to remember that
- 1:01:36you're going to do the wrong yardage and it's just, it's not,
- 1:01:39it's not good. And then you end up like trying
- 1:01:41to like lift it up and dump it and it just doesn't work.
- 1:01:45But when I was using a hinge release and specifically
- 1:01:48focusing on the target and not the pin, so the pin the pin is a
- 1:01:52little bit fuzzy and the target is crystal clear.
- 1:01:56I found that my that my pin rose up to the target but it just
- 1:02:03floated around. Stuff like that.
- 1:02:04But it floated around the target and that was good enough for me.
- 1:02:08So then I went through hunting season and I did pretty well.
- 1:02:13I killed 1 deer and then missed. AI missed the biggest buck that
- 1:02:17I would have ever I would have ever had.
- 1:02:20It was a it was he was a he was a big he was a big six pointer
- 1:02:24and I have it on video of me. I actually aimed below the deer,
- 1:02:29and if you've never haunted in Ohio, they all jump the string
- 1:02:33they all like. This one didn't.
- 1:02:34And it's no it it did And he went.
- 1:02:37He went all the way down. I his His belly must have
- 1:02:40touched the. Ground.
- 1:02:41I've had that once, yeah. And it it was it was crazy.
- 1:02:44There was nothing I could do. No, there was nothing I could
- 1:02:46do. Not there, no.
- 1:02:47I missed 2 deer that year to to jump in the string and there's
- 1:02:53really nothing you could do. But in in the stand I with with
- 1:03:00the hinge release that pin I was able to freeze the deer with a
- 1:03:04you know, like that and he kind of like looked up and stood
- 1:03:07there. It was perfect.
- 1:03:08Everything was perfect. And then I got back and started
- 1:03:11my rotation and that pin never moved from where I wanted it to
- 1:03:14be and it just broke so clean and I was very I was very
- 1:03:19pleased with the actual shot but just the result just didn't
- 1:03:23happen. Yeah, and it.
- 1:03:24Was the shot was good? The shot was good.
- 1:03:26Everything about it was good. That's different.
- 1:03:29Yeah, that's much different than missing and been.
- 1:03:32Like, yeah, I don't know. But now that you mentioned Joel
- 1:03:35Turner, I started to watch his videos and there is a video and
- 1:03:39there's a famous video where Elk shake first Dan from LJ first
- 1:03:44introduces him and it Joel Turner just talks shit to all of
- 1:03:48them. It's really funny and it's
- 1:03:50awesome. Recent one with him MFJ No,
- 1:03:52it's. Old.
- 1:03:52It's old. It's the first time I ever saw.
- 1:03:55I ever saw him. I think I saw.
- 1:03:56That video, it's like in a backyard or something.
- 1:03:59No, it's it's at it's at podium. Archer.
- 1:04:01Oh, is it? Yeah, I.
- 1:04:02Don't think I've seen that one then.
- 1:04:03The one in his backyard though the one in Dan's backyard where
- 1:04:07where his where his child like crafts himself in the.
- 1:04:09Video The funny one. There's a part in that video,
- 1:04:14and I can't believe that Joel hasn't asked him to take it down
- 1:04:17because this is my secret to everything.
- 1:04:22There's a point where he asks Dan, he he gets him to use the
- 1:04:27like, like build pressure, build pressure, build pressure, build
- 1:04:30pressure and do that. He does it a bunch of times and
- 1:04:34there's a point where he asks Dan to stand on one leg and he
- 1:04:39does and he stands on one leg. He executes shot and he's like,
- 1:04:41that was crazy. Like I I couldn't get anything
- 1:04:44going. He's like, OK, next time stand
- 1:04:46on one leg. The only thing I want you to
- 1:04:48focus on is what you're doing with this hand back here.
- 1:04:52And so he focuses and and in the shot before he couldn't get his
- 1:04:56leg to stand still. It was like crazy.
- 1:04:58He couldn't. It was it was not working.
- 1:05:01And then he, he tried the second shot and the only thing he
- 1:05:04focused on was this right here and getting that released to
- 1:05:08like, you know, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull until it
- 1:05:12went off. And he, he asked Dan, he's like,
- 1:05:14what did you feel? And he's like my leg went
- 1:05:18completely and totally still rock solid.
- 1:05:21And he's like, yes, because you're focusing on something
- 1:05:24else. Your brain knows how to
- 1:05:27stabilize yourself. Your brain knows how to do that
- 1:05:31very, very well. Yeah, for sure.
- 1:05:32If the only thing you're focusing on is the stability of
- 1:05:36this leg, it's going to go all over the place.
- 1:05:38You're having to concentrate it on and stuff like that.
- 1:05:40If you're if you give your brain something to do other than
- 1:05:44stabilize yourself, your subconscious will learn to
- 1:05:48stabilize the like. Your subconscious will take over
- 1:05:52and and and do the rest for you. And although his pin was flying
- 1:05:56all over the place, I that was a light bulb for me to where it
- 1:06:03like obviously when we're shooting, we're standing, you
- 1:06:06know, and at a completely solid position most of the time.
- 1:06:10And even when we're hunting, we're not standing on one leg
- 1:06:13where we've got our legs underneath us.
- 1:06:15We're we're rock solid and still.
- 1:06:18But that whole thing where the only thing you're focusing on is
- 1:06:21what's happening in this hand right here.
- 1:06:24And that's why I do something weird with my release and I
- 1:06:27brought it maybe yes. So I brought it and I can I do
- 1:06:31this with a thumb button as well as I went to the zoo today so I
- 1:06:37do. I shoot it.
- 1:06:38I shoot a thumb button exactly like I do a hinge.
- 1:06:41So I've got I've got this all the way back here and then I
- 1:06:45touch my thumb to my index finger and then I rotate it back
- 1:06:49and pull at the same time and then this is actually what
- 1:06:53activates this. This part of my thumb is what
- 1:06:55actually activates the the, the trigger.
- 1:06:58So you know it's it's a complete, complete surprise
- 1:07:01shot. That's why.
- 1:07:02That's why you'll see my arm come back like crazy because I'm
- 1:07:06pulling against back wall. But when you focus on what's
- 1:07:11going back here and you focus on that rotation, you'll find that
- 1:07:15your pin will all of a sudden go from a float to just rock solid
- 1:07:20and it'll just float just around the middle of the target.
- 1:07:24And then like it. It was a light bulb for me and I
- 1:07:28took that where he made him stand on one leg.
- 1:07:32And basically that's that's what I glean from his, from his
- 1:07:36teachings. I think with Joel Turner,
- 1:07:38there's a marketing aspect where he does, he does a whole bunch
- 1:07:43and he's very good at it and he's he's got a team and stuff
- 1:07:46like that. But like his practical
- 1:07:48demonstrations are where the rubber meets the road with his,
- 1:07:52with his techniques and stuff like that.
- 1:07:54He'll he'll say a whole bunch of shit on his Instagram channel
- 1:07:57and on his Instagram videos where I I the words are too big
- 1:08:01and I don't understand. But his practical demonstrations
- 1:08:05are incredible. Nick was just talking about
- 1:08:09buying his like his class or whatever you can buy on his
- 1:08:12website just to like see if he could get anything out of it
- 1:08:17because I mean I have what you're explaining, like it's
- 1:08:21just always been the way I shoot.
- 1:08:23I have tried to fix it. You know, we fixed my draw.
- 1:08:25I used to draw like this. Now I draw normal.
- 1:08:27And the one thing that I've just not been able to get past it is
- 1:08:30like there are sometimes when I will, you know for the most part
- 1:08:36load it enough that you know I'm not commanding the shot.
- 1:08:40And I would say 80% at least of the time I am just.
- 1:08:45And I find that I don't know if it's because it's a habit I've
- 1:08:49created that I am more repetitive or accurate in my
- 1:08:53shop by commanding, punching, whatever the trigger.
- 1:08:57But like you say like out here completely unsteady, like it
- 1:09:03takes a lot. So you'll see, it takes me
- 1:09:04forever before I let off the shop because I'm sitting there
- 1:09:07like, stay still, stay still. So I don't know, maybe it would
- 1:09:11help if I buy Joel Turner's thing or watch some of the
- 1:09:13videos. I don't know, try a hinge or
- 1:09:15something. I have never been able to get
- 1:09:18rid of it. And then I'm like leery of
- 1:09:19hinges because, like how you're explaining, you know, thumb is
- 1:09:23no different really than an index.
- 1:09:25Like some people explain it or Matt even explains it with his
- 1:09:29thumb. You know, they'll get that hinge
- 1:09:30in their hand. And like how you're saying you
- 1:09:32kind of like start the rotation, but then some people will just
- 1:09:36teach it like, well, when you you rotate the wrist.
- 1:09:39But I think that's like, I don't know.
- 1:09:42To me it's like, well then you're not really like using the
- 1:09:44back tension to surprise the shot.
- 1:09:46You're just setting off the trigger by rotating the wrist.
- 1:09:49It's still a trigger. It's still a command, so.
- 1:09:53Yeah. You.
- 1:09:53Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:09:54So then I'm like, well, would I just create my same habit when I
- 1:09:58switch to trying to hinge, you know, I don't know what will
- 1:10:01ever make me get rid of it to the point where I'm like, I'm
- 1:10:04just not going to get rid, you know, I'm just gonna keep
- 1:10:06shooting that way. Well, I think what's important
- 1:10:08to remember is there is some of the best Archers in the world
- 1:10:16punch and triggers. They're command shooters.
- 1:10:19And I don't think that's like, I think there's kind of become
- 1:10:22this thing in archery where if it's like like you're a command
- 1:10:24shooter, people are like you're. Yeah, you're like you're.
- 1:10:28Trash. Or whatever, 'cause you're
- 1:10:30punching, it's like, yeah, well, I'll also shoot way better than
- 1:10:32you. So like, what matters more, you
- 1:10:35know? But I thought that what David
- 1:10:38showed with that was amazing because I've shot this same
- 1:10:42release literally for like 20 years.
- 1:10:44I love it. I my backup one's the same, but
- 1:10:46it's the new version that Carter made.
- 1:10:48I don't like it nearly as much Thicker, heavier.
- 1:10:51But dude, my process, the exact same drawback.
- 1:10:53And I freaking touch here to here.
- 1:10:56And then I'll start to like you said, I'll just this release
- 1:11:00actually because it's so old now.
- 1:11:01It has like a little point where I can get the, it doesn't even
- 1:11:04happen every time, but I kind of like that where I can get the
- 1:11:07barrel to move just slightly like an 816th of an inch, but I
- 1:11:12feel it. And then it's like it's kind of
- 1:11:13like a click and I go OK and then sometimes it won't happen,
- 1:11:18but either way I'm always trying to find that movement and then
- 1:11:20if it doesn't happen. It's crazy.
- 1:11:22I don't like yours. You don't even.
- 1:11:24See. It doesn't even move.
- 1:11:25Yeah, like it's it's so it's nothing, but I do the same exact
- 1:11:29thing you said and just get get there.
- 1:11:32Carter Carter's are so clean they just don't like they just
- 1:11:34don't move and and I like V3 because they've got excellent
- 1:11:38hinges and they're super lightweight and and and stuff
- 1:11:43like that but you you really made a good point there in that
- 1:11:50like there are command shooters out there who they don't have
- 1:11:55these problems but I do. I can't.
- 1:11:58Shoot like that and I figured that out.
- 1:12:01Is is that like if I try to shoot like that I will?
- 1:12:07No, that's a button. I was.
- 1:12:08I was like you. You.
- 1:12:10Hit that? Perfect.
- 1:12:11I I there's you hit that perfect.
- 1:12:14I'm not Cameron Haynes. I can't do what he does when he
- 1:12:18when he or. Something.
- 1:12:19Yeah, when he when he shoots, nothing moves.
- 1:12:22That's see and I can do that. So I always shot that way.
- 1:12:26Like I'll come back and I come to here and I rap just like you
- 1:12:30and and I would say most of the time I would call myself like a
- 1:12:349010 shooter. I'll draw back.
- 1:12:36But like you said my pin, I've never in my whole life hopefully
- 1:12:41knock on wood. I've never struggled with pin
- 1:12:43movement. Like my pin doesn't move.
- 1:12:45It just sits there. So I draw back and it sits and
- 1:12:48then I need 0 pressure and boom, it goes off.
- 1:12:51You know, even if I maybe anticipated it sometimes, I'm
- 1:12:55still not moving. I'm not yanking and hitting A5.
- 1:12:58It's like going home unless I hit low or whatever, you know?
- 1:13:03But like, my shots are pure. You can watch it in slow MO I do
- 1:13:06not move. But nowadays, because everyone's
- 1:13:10always on your ass about surprise shots, I'm like, let me
- 1:13:13really, like, give this a go. So lately I've been like, like I
- 1:13:17said, trying to like actually feel the trigger that doesn't
- 1:13:20move. I try to, like, feel it actually
- 1:13:23move and it doesn't. So then boom, A lot of times I'm
- 1:13:27getting those surprise shots. And what's funny is so many
- 1:13:32times when it goes off as a surprise, I'm like, shit, I
- 1:13:35broke that high. Like if my pin wasn't, I wasn't
- 1:13:38quite. I feel like it's high and then
- 1:13:41it'll actually be like right in the middle.
- 1:13:45There's. Or slightly.
- 1:13:46High There's a competitive shooter that I, I listen to talk
- 1:13:50on the Lancaster archery classic where you've got like the best
- 1:13:55shooters in the world shooting that classic and and to hear a
- 1:13:59competitive Archer like talk about how well you know you just
- 1:14:02got to trust the trust the float.
- 1:14:04Because where that pin breaks is not necessary.
- 1:14:08Where where the where where the pin is when that shot breaks is
- 1:14:12not necessarily where that thing's going.
- 1:14:15That fucked with my head because then what are you supposed to
- 1:14:19rely on. But then you have to think what
- 1:14:24means more the the pin being exactly where you want it, or
- 1:14:29everything you're doing with your entire body on that shot.
- 1:14:32And I tend to lean towards if you've got everything the same
- 1:14:37on your on the rest of your body, your pin, like, you know,
- 1:14:41floating around and stuff like that is not going to mean as
- 1:14:44much to accuracy, accuracy and precision.
- 1:14:47I could be completely wrong about that, but I do know that
- 1:14:52when I execute a surprise shot like I don't I I can't see where
- 1:14:57my shot goes because it's there's so much like violence
- 1:15:01associated with my shot. Like everything moves and stuff
- 1:15:04like that. But when it's when it's good,
- 1:15:08there's a feeling where you just like that's it.
- 1:15:10And you look through your by nose and it's it's right there.
- 1:15:12You shoot with both eyes open. Yes.
- 1:15:14Me too. I've always been there.
- 1:15:16Me too. To wrap this to wrap my story
- 1:15:19about that up though the reason the reason why I got away from
- 1:15:24trying trying to get away from anticipatory movement which Joel
- 1:15:28Turner talks about and stuff like that.
- 1:15:30In other words flinching which I think a lot of Archers do it as
- 1:15:35well. It's it's the exact same
- 1:15:37principle I was I I during gun season Ohio I hunt with 44
- 1:15:43magnum pistol. Pistol is very hard to hunt with
- 1:15:46because it's you don't have you're not as steady you're
- 1:15:48shooting off of a stick or you're shooting like just
- 1:15:52offhand and 44 magnum is no slouch of around especially with
- 1:15:58the way my dad and I pistol yeah size.
- 1:16:01Pistol Ted used to. Do.
- 1:16:02Yes, dude, it's awesome. I love it.
- 1:16:05It makes you feel like you've got gigantic monkey balls when
- 1:16:08you do it. But yeah, I, you know, it's it's
- 1:16:12no slouch of a round and it has some.
- 1:16:14It has a lot of recoil. And I got my first 2 deer in
- 1:16:19Ohio with 44 Magnum as a young man.
- 1:16:23And then I got into I was always into archery, but I actually got
- 1:16:26into hunting or archery hunting after doing gun hunting and
- 1:16:30stuff like that because I wanted that whole span of time to to
- 1:16:34get more deer. Whereas gun season is only a
- 1:16:37week plus a bonus weekend. And I got my first 2 deer 4/4
- 1:16:42Magnum, no problem. It was great.
- 1:16:43It was like, Oh well, I'm fucking dead money with this
- 1:16:46thing, you know I can never miss.
- 1:16:48And then I started missing deer everywhere and I was like, this
- 1:16:53is ridiculous. What's going on?
- 1:16:55Like, did I? And everything matters.
- 1:16:57Your your grip, your you know. The gun.
- 1:17:01Like everything. So I went out to the shooting
- 1:17:03because. Pistols have such a short
- 1:17:04barrel, Yeah, so there's no forgiveness.
- 1:17:07Right. And I got my I got my first deer
- 1:17:09with 44 Magnum at like 80 yards. That's when I was like, I was
- 1:17:12like, oh, I'm the fucking. I'm the fucking.
- 1:17:15Master at any Oakley Over. Here.
- 1:17:17Yeah, exactly like, yeah. Elmer, Keith over here.
- 1:17:19And and so I went out to the range.
- 1:17:23I was like, there's got to be something wrong with this gun
- 1:17:26and there's got to be something wrong with this bow.
- 1:17:28There's got to be. Never shooting badge?
- 1:17:31Blame the equipment. Yeah.
- 1:17:33And so I went out to the range and something happened that
- 1:17:37completely and totally active fate.
- 1:17:41I we, my dad and I always reloaded our own 44 Magnum
- 1:17:45rackers. We we load hot and we had.
- 1:17:51I had a bad primer and I shot two shots and then the bad
- 1:17:56primer hit and my reticle went into the dirt.
- 1:17:58You flinched the shit little. Yeah, and the two loudest sounds
- 1:18:02are the the bang when you expect nothing to happen and nothing
- 1:18:08happens when you expect it to go bang.
- 1:18:10Those are the two loudest sounds you'll ever hear when shooting a
- 1:18:12gun. And my reticle went into the
- 1:18:15dirt and I was like, oh, OK, I know what's going on.
- 1:18:20So what I did. And I don't recommend you do
- 1:18:24this unless you're out of range and you have good, you know, you
- 1:18:31have good practices. But yeah.
- 1:18:33Someone load like 4 live rings. In one I loaded, so I would load
- 1:18:36one in the chamber, spin it, stop it, load another one, spin
- 1:18:40it, stop it, collapse the chamber, go right up.
- 1:18:45I couldn't see where it was. And then the only thing I would
- 1:18:48focus on is the trigger pull. And God damn was it hard.
- 1:18:51Like even when I was even even when I was focusing on it, it
- 1:18:54was very difficult to keep it on target.
- 1:18:56Not to like have it go go down. But eventually I I learned to
- 1:19:02just focus on that trigger pull and then to just like when it
- 1:19:05recoils just ride it just just just let it ride let it do what
- 1:19:09it wants to do bring it back down you know.
- 1:19:12And I was I I got it was weird. I got so good with that thing
- 1:19:16and I'm not good with it now just because the difference it
- 1:19:21you have to grip it the same every time and I got really good
- 1:19:24at gripping but but I got to the point where I was hitting a
- 1:19:28steel target 200 yards and it was now now and it had a scope
- 1:19:34on it. I will tell you though but but
- 1:19:36when it got to the steel target it was barely enough to take the
- 1:19:40paint off of the steel target. But I can still see the I can
- 1:19:43still see the little chip but I couldn't do that now but that
- 1:19:47was it. That was a very powerful lesson
- 1:19:49that I carried that into archery with.
- 1:19:52I've done that before, where like shoot a rifle or something
- 1:19:54and shooting it's just like it. It might not even move that
- 1:19:58much, but you feel like a little like tension, you know?
