New week, new podcast. Explain these drinks to me right
0:04
here. They kind of have a, you know, a
0:07
very subtle color. There's not much color to them.
0:15
So what do we? What do we got here?
0:17
Well, you know, it's Tuesday, which means Taco Tuesday,
0:20
Mexican Tuesday here in, you know, the Southern California
0:25
where every day is Taco day. And so we made homemade
0:30
margaritas and we got some tequila in there.
0:34
Yours has two shots, mine has one.
0:37
Yours has a half a shot of orange liqueur, hence the kind
0:43
of orange, you know, coloration along with there's a little
0:49
splash of ginger ale in there, some club soda which also has
0:55
that same coloration. So that's what you get the color
0:58
from and that is what's in it. Yours has a little splash of
1:02
lime as well and orange. Mine only has a splash of orange
1:06
and obviously my sugar rim and no rim for you.
1:10
This is good. This one's better than that.
1:12
One, yeah, that one has a little bit too much orange liqueur.
1:15
It's a little too much syrup. Syrupy.
1:17
Yeah. Kind of like, remember fireball?
1:20
Yeah, yeah, I mean, that was the I remember Fireball was popping
1:25
off hard when I was like the 24 that was like so popular.
1:31
Jägermeister. That was a little before that, I
1:34
would say, remember. I'm a little older.
1:36
Yeah, then both like they both had a run because Jager had a
1:40
run with like the Jager bombs from the the classic new haircut
1:44
YouTube video. It's like one of the first big
1:46
videos on YouTube. So this guy goes Jager bombs,
1:50
Jager bombs and then they became like this big thing.
1:53
And then after that was like fireball had a huge run.
1:57
And then now honestly, it's probably seltzer's have been
2:02
running the game for a long time.
2:04
But actually it's non alcoholic beers supposedly is a very big.
2:09
Mark, supposedly that's the next big hit, which good maybe you
2:13
know. There is kind of this social
2:16
shift happening that happened in the past, at least in America
2:21
with cigarettes, you know, and eventually people just like stop
2:24
smoking cigarettes. And I think you're seeing that
2:27
with with booze. People.
2:30
Are drinking a lot less. Or healthier version, IE not
2:34
alcoholic drinks that taste like alcohol.
2:37
Yeah. Or you know, drinks that have 0
2:39
calories like self herbs and whatnot.
2:42
Well they have 0 calories but. Whatever.
2:45
Is something low? Yeah.
2:46
Yeah, it's an interesting one. I mean, it's not bad.
2:51
Like, you know, that's not a bad thing, but yeah, interesting.
2:56
It's just interesting how things shift because I remember for a
2:58
while it was like, oh, you know, you don't want to sit too much.
3:03
There was like this big thing of like.
3:04
Standing up desks and the treadmills under the desks are
3:09
the the like chairs where you sit on balls instead of chairs
3:14
or in the desks that pop up and down so you can stand when you
3:18
feel you've been sitting too long.
3:20
Which is probably very good for your your posture honestly,
3:24
unless you have a chair that promotes posture.
3:27
Yeah. I mean, I think the more time
3:29
you're active and on your feet is definitely better than
3:31
sitting. And especially when you sit and
3:33
you're on like a there goes the Coos deer, you tend to kind of
3:38
overtime like. Lean.
3:40
Forward, you know, whereas if you're standing, I think you
3:44
tend to have kind of better posture.
3:45
Yeah, well, and you can adjust the level of the desk to where
3:49
it's, you know, fits. I think it's not even just the
3:52
desk. When you think about it, you
3:54
really need the desk and the computer monitor to adjust
3:58
because like everybody's height from hand to, you know, head is
4:02
different. So like, I need my arms to rest
4:05
here while my head still stays up.
4:08
But what if my arms here means the computer monitor is still
4:10
like not? Level with.
4:13
My my eyesight. But if you could adjust both of
4:15
those, that would be, you know. Yeah, interesting.
4:22
We got a comment, a couple of them, what people say we're not.
4:28
There's been a couple complaints and we don't talk about archery
4:30
enough on this archery. Yeah, at least the one I read
4:32
from last week's. And I'm just going to say, you
4:35
know, hate me if you want to. Does the title have archery in
4:39
it? I don't remember what the title
4:41
is. It's Bo disciples podcast.
4:44
Oh, you mean the the, the name of the podcast, which does
4:49
remind me. Please subscribe to the YouTube.
4:53
We've been actually gaining a lot every week.
4:55
I think we're at almost 780 now, so we're getting close.
4:58
If you listen on Spotify or Apple, please five stars help us
5:02
grow the podcast. How's the job hunt going?
5:05
We actually got a firm, firm lead today on a job.
5:09
I am pumped about it. A woman that I used to work with
5:16
at my office in Coronado, name's Carly.
5:20
Fabulous. You actually met her?
5:21
You met her. We went to a Taco Tuesday and
5:24
she, her husband ended up having to move PCs to Virginia.
5:33
And so obviously she had to go with him.
5:36
And so she got a job with a new company, which is, you know,
5:41
nationwide. And she just texted me today
5:45
that they are looking for a remote or potentially hybrid
5:49
position for public affairs. And the office is right here in
5:55
Mission Valley, literally 5 minutes from the house.
5:58
The boss asked, you know, any recommendation?
6:02
She gave them my name, he said. I'm looking for someone who can
6:06
do public affairs as good as you, Carly, and she said she can
6:10
do it better. Wow, that's.
6:13
Very kind. You know, he's got a lot of good
6:15
words in about me, which is fantastic.
6:18
It's a good start. Plus they're very specific on
6:21
how they want their resumes to look and her being there.
6:24
She has hers now tailored to what they want to see.
6:27
So she actually had to redo hers in order to get hired.
6:31
So I'm going to go ahead and do that tonight.
6:34
So when I apply, it's already in the format and has the types of
6:38
things that they're looking for and layout that they want.
6:41
So I will be pumped for this job.
6:44
I mean, it's in my wheelhouse of exactly what I know how to do.
6:49
It's what I've done for the last four years.
6:52
And Carly knows that because I've worked with her for the
6:55
last four years. So we're going to cross our
6:58
fingers. You know, I'm going to put in
7:00
the job goes active either tonight or tomorrow.
7:04
I'm going to do the resume tonight and get it submitted.
7:07
I'm going to have Carly take a look at it first because she is
7:10
the master of all copywriting and editing.
7:12
And then we're going to submit and we're going to keep our
7:16
fingers crossed and pray to the good Lord that this one, you
7:20
know, this is it. Because not just because I want
7:24
a job, because I want this job. This is, you know, what we've
7:30
been looking for. This is what my experience is in
7:33
this is it's remote, which is what we have wanted the most.
7:38
So I couldn't be more excited about this one.
7:42
So, yeah, that's how the job search is going.
7:44
I had another, you know, you as you call it, warm bleed from
7:48
Ashley, a friend of the channel. Now who knows some people who
7:53
work at a company that also does marketing and applied for that
7:57
one. Haven't heard anything yet.
7:58
But I only applied a couple of days ago.
8:00
So we'll just, we'll see. We'll see.
8:02
It's going swimmingly. We're pushed back.
8:06
Also on the timeline of getting out of the Navy.
8:08
Huya Navy. So maybe be out by the end of
8:14
February just waiting on paperwork.
8:18
But hey, it's more more paychecks for now.
8:21
So it gets us through the trips that we've got planned coming up
8:25
for this month, which is nice. You know, one last little bit of
8:28
time to ask off of a job right when you walk in the door to it.
8:33
So yeah, that's how the professional life outside of,
8:38
you know, BD is going. Very good, yeah.
8:42
Very good. I broke my camera right before
8:46
this. This.
8:47
Broadcast. It's actually.
8:48
Brand new to you camera. It's actually broken right now
8:51
as it's filming. Technically the camera is fine
8:54
but I shattered half the L the LCD screen.
8:58
Yep. So it's all flickering and it's
9:02
a bummer but I think I can fix it myself.
9:04
I will have to purchase a new LCD, so it'll probably be about
9:07
100 bucks, but it is what it is. Mistakes happen.
9:12
I thought I had it on the tripod.
9:13
I did not. It fell and unfortunately I
9:16
broke. So what are you going to do?
9:20
I'm going to try to get it fixed and go from there.
9:23
But you got new arrows. New arrows, baby.
9:28
Ping pong at all around here. Well, you know I'm trying to
9:32
make my the show better so. Yeah, I know.
9:35
We got to talk about Arch real quick.
9:37
Are we on an archery channel? Yes.
9:41
I got new arrows so and I'm excited to to shoot them.
9:45
I might shoot in the house later tonight just for a little break
9:50
because we got to get the tape made.
9:51
But they are victory vaps. And yeah, I think we added an
9:59
extra. 20 grains heavier. 20 grains heavier and extra little,
10:04
little, little extra half inch I think longer and yeah, we got to
10:12
shoot them because we got to kind of determine if we're going
10:14
to do 125 grain still tips or go back to 100 grain.
10:20
Don't really remember why that is.
10:26
We just both of them shot well through paper so.
10:31
Yeah. You're just going to see which
10:32
one groups better for you and then probably go with that.
10:35
They're out obviously the pros of 100 rain as your arrows will
10:40
shoot a little faster because they'll be lighter the upside
10:46
with which means you can shoot further the upside with the
10:49
heavier tips will be theoretically better penetration
10:52
and a little better fock. So it's like just figuring out
10:57
what you like better. But yeah, I think the arrows
11:00
will be will be good. We're going to test them out
11:02
this weekend because we're going to a tournament that I for sure
11:06
am competing in. You're not sure yet, Ted?
11:09
He's not sure. The tape made and then I think I
11:13
will regardless. We got to get over to old Joey's
11:17
friend of the show. Plus I got to give him a bunch
11:19
of arrows anyways since I, you know, did make a change on
11:23
arrows this year. But you're loving the HLRS,
11:28
Yeah, which is the brand new Arrows for Victory.
11:31
So I I'll say this, this is my first time shooting an arrow
11:35
that's slimmer. So I've always shot, I think the
11:38
246, the standard size arrow. These are two O 4, so they're
11:44
5mm a little bit thinner, but they have very good GPI, right?
11:49
So you can kind of build them however you want.
11:51
The one thing that always concerned me about a smaller
11:54
arrow is I had seen some durability issues and them not
11:58
being the hardiest on my friends who shout shot smaller arrows.
12:03
But I've been shooting these for, I don't know, two months
12:09
probably, Yeah, probably two months.
12:11
And I've only broken 2 that one, both of them I shot into a rock
12:17
basically and they both broke the tip off.
12:19
So I they they've been extraordinarily so far durable.
12:24
I've shot several through animals and they're fine, you
12:28
know, and didn't break the flight has been really good.
12:31
The and, and to be honest, I think they're super aesthetic
12:36
too. That's one of my favorite part
12:37
about these arrows. I like the gold labeling.
12:40
I think it looks really clean. I like that they come spinal
12:43
line straight from the factory like that's cool and I love the
12:49
carbon weave look like I think it's so sick so.
12:53
Which looks sick, but is also serves a purpose and that is
12:58
beneficial. You know I like the.
13:00
Theoretically, they'll recover quicker because that weave is
13:04
tighter. So your arrow, you know, is
13:06
going to recover faster. And yeah, I don't know, they're
13:10
just a sick arrow and. I do like that the, you know,
13:13
the, I guess I don't know what you call it like this, the
13:18
little where you're saying the gold is, you know, all the
13:20
right. The label, yeah.
13:22
It's just not like doesn't stick out a bunch.
13:25
I've always hated when they, like put them like they're like
13:27
this big on the arrow and it's like big old bright, you know,
13:32
color and whatnot. Yeah, I I agree.
13:35
I think the labeling is really clean.
13:38
But the cool part about these arrows is for a long time and we
13:43
kind of had an inside joke of it, but like you, no one could
13:45
buy these, right? Like so I would always make the
13:48
joke like, you know, I got them, you can't, but now you can like
13:54
the bow shop, bow and arrow shop carries these now.
13:57
So if you're in the audience and you're a San Diego person, you
14:00
can go into Bow and Arrow shop and get these Victory HLR.
14:04
And if you're not and you don't live anywhere near a pro shop,
14:08
you can get them on podiumarcher.com as well.
14:12
And if you use our code pump station, you'll save an extra
14:16
10% off these arrows. Yeah.
14:19
That's the other thing I like. We didn't mention it is though,
14:21
but we did talk about it in the Arrow build, the Blazers, which
14:24
is not out yet. No, the knocks.
14:26
The little short fat knocks. I like the knock a lot.
14:29
Yeah, I've always like I've I love a shorter knock and a
14:35
shorter tip. I don't think I have those on
14:38
right now. I think I have the long ones on
14:39
sets with the shop pad. Yeah, but I like the little
14:42
bullet tips. I don't.
14:43
It's just something about it to me.
14:44
I've noticed when my arrows wide that like this specific knock, I
14:49
don't know why it is, but this knock with the short bullet
14:52
tips, there's just like there's less like wobble.
14:57
I don't know why, you know, maybe someone could try to
14:59
explain why that could cut out some like wobble in the arrow or
15:03
something. Who knows.
15:04
But I'm a big fan of the little short short fat knocks.
15:08
Yeah, it's, it's so interesting, you know, now that I'm in a
15:12
different position than I've ever really been in my life.
15:14
You know, I was always the type of guy that would shoot the same
15:17
bow for like 5-6 years, you know what I mean?
15:21
And now obviously I'm in a different position where I'm
15:24
shooting a new bow and I. Try a new one every year.
15:26
Like every six months, even more than every year, you know,
15:29
really. But I'm learning what's what's a
15:32
little bit tough about that is like this proven 34.
15:38
I'm telling you, I really love this bow.
15:40
So I mean, like, as we know, I'm slated to get a new one here
15:45
pretty soon. I think people probably can read
15:47
between the lines and know which bow it is.
15:49
But like it's hard for me in some ways because I love this
15:54
bow. Like I feel like I've shot it so
15:56
well. Ever since I've got it I've
15:58
pinwheeled every animal I've shot at other than one peccary
16:02
the first shot, but then I pinwheeled them after that.
16:05
Well, and you didn't have a range.
16:06
Right. And like, I don't know, I just,
16:08
I think it's, it fits me so well.
16:11
And one thing I really love is is like, look how tight my
16:16
quiver set. I do love that you're just your
16:18
whole setup is very center aligned.
16:21
Yeah, Like, look, I mean, I don't know if the camera can see
16:23
it, but like, this bow is so slim, like it's crazy.
16:28
Well, I think you've maximized every part of what like.
16:32
Like the integration of Bow tech.
16:33
Products offers, yeah, like between the, what do you call
16:38
that rest center mass? Yeah, well, it's integrated
16:41
rest. So that's like in the quiver.
16:43
I don't even have a bracket. Like I have it mounted all the
16:46
way in. And because this bows got a long
16:49
axle to axle, I actually have it underneath the limb and the the
16:53
arrows are inside too. So like everything is just like
16:56
and then the sight of course I have the you know, the one
16:59
that's mounted inside the bow. So like everything about this is
17:02
just so sleek and with the longer riser to or axle to axle,
17:08
I mean, I can't wait to shoot some 3DS with it.
17:12
And yeah, it's, it's a heavier bow.
17:15
Obviously mine's not super heavy because I don't have a ton on
17:17
it, but like it's a heavier bow because it's like I got a big
17:20
riser and my new bow is going to be like substantially lighter so
17:27
and smaller. So like I'm interested to see
17:31
once I have both, like if I end up shooting this one more or
17:36
that one more or like or what. But I I like this bow a lot more
17:41
than I thought I would. To be honest, I didn't know if
17:44
I'd like it as much as my core Sr.
17:47
And for me, I do like this bow better.
17:51
You know, it just shoots really well for me like, and I just got
17:56
these new unbound strings that like I love.
18:00
I just told him, send me whatever and I this is my
18:03
favorite set of strings. He's done for me.
18:06
It looks like green with like a buckskin for the string.
18:11
And then the serving is like a like a brown sugar or something.
18:17
And then up here the serving is like a dark girly.
18:22
You know, I never even noticed that.
18:23
Yeah, your two servings are different colors.
18:25
That's kind of cool. Yeah.
18:27
So it's like I really am enjoying.
18:30
I haven't even shot this string yet.
18:31
So I got this con at this event. This will be my first time
18:35
shooting it really. But yeah, I don't know, It's,
18:39
it's just interesting being in a different position than I have
18:42
been in the past of like, you know, I'm not going to shoot
18:45
this bow for like 5 years, you know, but it's funny when you
18:49
really like 1, you know, I. Think it's because it's, it kind
18:55
of shows you that like it's not tinkering per SE because you're
18:59
not constantly adjusting things on the boat, but you're trying
19:03
new things, which is not something that you typically do.
19:10
But you're finding that there are things you like that you
19:13
would have never normally ran like your your nose button you
19:18
raped about since you put it on. And it's like, I don't think
19:22
before you like did the push to get you to try new things.
19:27
You would ever have tried something like that which is not
19:31
a new concept like a nose button or a?
19:34
My favorite my favorite part about the nose button
19:36
specifically is for hunting because when.
19:39
I noticed it helped me a ton. Like in the hunting application,
19:46
it's, it's so nice because sure, in target practice, you know,
19:51
you're more like, I feel like it matters less for me shooting
19:56
like 3D to have it because it's, you know, you have, you're calm,
20:00
you get all the time to like make sure your shot feels good
20:03
and everything. But when in hunting it's much
20:06
more automatic, like muscle memory.
20:09
So you're just going thump and then having the button just hit
20:12
the same spot you go. I like double confirms in your
20:15
head that like, OK, everything's good.
20:18
And then just. I'm telling you, it made a big
20:21
difference for me. Yeah, you know that I am a
20:25
little slow in that aspect and a little clunky when it comes down
20:30
to the final seconds. I'm amped up and so like every
20:35
second I can save to, you know, getting my sight on that animal
20:40
as fast as possible and feeling set like you wouldn't think a
20:46
second could be make all of the difference.
20:49
But in hunting it makes all of the difference because it takes
20:52
one second for that animal to bolt, to turn, to face a
20:55
different direction, to become alert and then drop, you know,
21:00
and what not. So if you can get there faster,
21:03
I'd be like, whatever, I don't care if it takes, you know, .2
21:08
feet a second off the speed of my bow because I'm adding
21:11
something to the string. I don't care if I can get there
21:15
faster and shoot before an animal is alert.
21:18
That's you know. Time savings is so important.
21:22
You know, I mean, I personally think it's important even for
21:26
target shooting because in my opinion, the faster you can
21:30
shoot, like I'm not saying rush your shot, but the faster you
21:33
can get drawn, anchored pin pull the shot, the faster that can
21:40
happen. In my opinion, the less your pin
21:43
is moving around and like you're because you're getting less.
21:46
Fatigue error. And your fatigue isn't setting
21:48
in as much, you know, like. That's what I'm saying.
21:51
The more you're holding the bow, the more you're causing room for
21:54
error. The only room for error is you
21:57
when you're shooting. Yeah, sure, there's wind, a gust
21:59
could happen, whatever. But like how the arrow comes
22:03
out, you affect that. And the less time you sit there
22:08
holding it, the last time you can fatigue and set in, you can
22:12
torque your bow with your wrist, all that stuff can happen.
22:16
So if you can get to your anchor faster, less time for you to
22:20
have all those things happen. I totally think so.
22:23
And you know, we talked about it a little bit last night with
22:27
Ernest, but I also think that having, especially for a hunting
22:32
application, it's important to have a bow that is not too much
22:37
poundage for you. And the reason why I think
22:40
that's so important is I've been bad several times hunting where,
22:43
you know, I end up having to hold a draw for a lot longer
22:46
than I anticipated because, you know, maybe the animal turned
22:49
towards me and I'm waiting for him to turn a little bit or he
22:52
stopped behind the tree. But if I let down, I might spook
22:54
him. So like, if you're way over
22:57
bowed, you're not going to be able to do that as much.
22:59
And even if you can, you're going to start shaking and
23:02
falling apart pretty quick. Whereas if you're this bow, I'm
23:06
shooting this one in comfort. My last one I shot in
23:09
performance, which I'm going to. Try saying I'm.
23:11
Going to try soon on this as well, but this thing's so
23:14
smooth. I mean, it's so easy to hold.
23:17
I mean almost all bow techs are, like I've always said, elite.
23:22
My elite bow is just like, it was just cherry as far as like
23:27
you could, I could hold the thing for minutes.
23:29
You know, it's the same thing with these realistically, like
23:34
it's again, we've talked about men and women, it's different
23:37
like your Max versus my Max. You know, you can pull the bow
23:40
at Max over and over and over again, whereas I'm always
23:43
shooting at my Max and the bows Max and I wear out faster
23:48
because of it. But so it's harder for me to
23:52
pull it back per SE because of that.
23:54
But once I get it back, I mean, well, you have to kind of be
24:00
careful that you are still putting tension for them
24:03
backwards because you could just sit there and feel comfortable.
24:05
And then the relaxed arms, which you shouldn't do.
24:07
But like if you needed to in a pickle, like if an animal wasn't
24:13
doing what I needed him to do, I'll just relax my arms, wait,
24:18
wait, because it's that comfortable.
24:19
And then you can tense back up when you need to.
24:21
But for sure it's just the back was something about it is like
24:26
it's just cozy. Especially especially in
24:29
comfort, you know, I mean, yeah, you could switch to performance
24:32
gain, you know, generally between 7 and 10 feet a second.
24:37
But one thing I did like about shooting performance all of last
24:40
year is that especially on the core Sr., because it's a speed
24:45
bow and I had it in performance, you can't really do get lazy on
24:50
it. And that's why I wanted to shoot
24:52
it like that for a year was just to get really accustomed to like
24:55
making sure I was always pushing and pulling hard because on that
24:58
bow you had to, you know, So I might do that on this
25:02
eventually, but I still feel like every time I'm shooting,
25:04
and largely because I've been shooting that target bow like in
25:07
the house and stuff that that's been fun too, because I got
25:12
those mini Vegas rounds. They're half size from Joe and I
25:17
got that new Matrix M3 target that they sent me, which I've
25:22
only shot so far with the fat shafts from about 10 yards.
25:26
But so far, I mean, certainly I'm shooting in the house.
25:29
So one thing that's important is that they don't go through the
25:32
target, you know, in in the house they don't.
25:35
I've never even had a tip poke through.
25:37
Which was the problem with the. Previous the last one.
25:39
Had to shoot in the house. Weed.
25:43
We sacrificed a pillow. A pillow.
25:44
Yeah. But I mean, pulling the arrows,
25:48
I wouldn't say what is has been easy, but it's also a brand new
25:51
target and those shafts are really fat and it's already
25:54
gotten easier. Well, and you're shooting at 10
25:58
yards, so you're getting more penetration into the target,
26:01
which makes it harder to pull out.
26:03
And it's not like a target that's attached to anything.
26:06
So you have nothing to brace against.
26:08
You know, you just have to hold the target, which you lose a
26:10
hand to pull with. So if you were shooting outdoors
26:14
at 20 or further, it'd probably be no, you know, no problem to
26:19
pull them out. So.
26:20
Yeah, and shooting. Shooting, shooting those mini
26:24
faces is is is interesting because although it's only maybe
26:29
10 yards like the target I'm aiming at, I think I have right
26:34
here. Actually, they do.
26:36
The target I'm aiming at, I mean is like the size of a pencil or.
26:41
Is that an example like so? The other side is the regular.
26:44
So that that the X ring is probably the size of a nickel
26:48
maybe? Nickel bigger than that.
26:50
Yeah, maybe a nickel for the X part, a little bigger, but over
26:53
here it's like that X is the size of like a eraser.
26:57
On. A on a pencil, you know what I
26:59
mean? Like it's really small.
27:01
So even to hit the 10 ring, you know, not AX, but just a 10,
27:06
like you could fit a bunch of them in there.
27:10
So aiming at this is really good practice because I'm basically
27:17
hitting the same hole every time like you're trying to.
27:21
Well, especially if just like you're saying, if you can't, if
27:24
you're not near an indoor range, like for us it's a 20 minute
27:27
drive. If there's no traffic, you got
27:30
to pay to use a range. If you don't have that available
27:34
to you, well then just shoot the mini target inside your house
27:38
because it's built for you to shoot half the distance, which
27:42
if the regular three or three, whatever you call it three spot
27:46
or something, is meant to be shot at 20, well then just shoot
27:50
the smaller one at 10 yards. Yeah.
27:54
And I think I'm a little shorter than 10, but yeah, it's it's
27:58
been good practice. Unfortunately, the targets that
28:01
I had are we're all used. So I didn't have any like clean
28:05
faces but it. Would pick up some new ones.
28:07
Yeah, I will soon. I'll have ones with the fresh
28:09
faces soon. So I've been practicing that.
28:12
I have not really actually shot the hunting bow since the hunt,
28:16
but I have shot the target, the target bow a lot.
28:18
So I'll probably whip this out maybe even before Scott gets
28:21
over and just shoot, I don't know, 20-30 arrows because even
28:25
with the hunting bow, if you could focus on Eamon right here,
28:28
like that'll help at 30 yards. So that's been a lot of fun and
28:32
the whole target thing has been a fun journey.
28:36
And Ultra view just sent me a 8X lens, 8 power lens.
28:41
I've been using 6, but Paige suggested she's like, I love
28:47
magnification. So like, the more the better, as
28:50
long as you can see. And another guy who I know who
28:54
also is big in the target, he said the same thing.
28:56
He's like, I run as much as you. You can do.
28:59
Yeah, you know. While keeping the picture still
29:03
somewhat clear. Exactly.
29:04
And the downside of course is obviously more magnification is
29:10
going to mean that the pin is going to look like it's moving
29:14
more. Does that mean it's moving?
29:15
I don't. I don't.
29:16
I don't think that'll bother me all that much because I don't
29:19
have a ton of pin movement so I think I'll be OK.
29:22
Yeah, and you never really said anything about it when you went
29:26
from never using magnification before to putting A6 power and a
29:30
clarifier in. So if you didn't really notice
29:33
much of A, you know, anything that significantly impacted your
29:37
shooting going from nothing to a six, I don't know if you're
29:40
going to notice anything magnification you will.
29:42
But I mean pin movement wise, I don't know that you'll notice
29:45
much of a difference from 6:00 to 8:00.
29:46
Yeah, hopefully not, but yeah, I I some targets.
29:53
It's fun. I know it's not your thing.
29:54
You get bored. I can't wait till that video
29:56
that you're so boring. You're hilarious in that video.
30:00
I don't know when it'll come out, but you are very funny in
30:03
that video. I couldn't.
30:04
Even make it through the whole thing, it was just like, I'm
30:07
done. I don't.
30:08
Even think you got through half? Hardly.
30:10
I got no. I got through 9 rounds of 12 for
30:16
five spot. You have not your.
30:20
It takes so long. Kind of like golf.
30:24
So long. Yeah, I can't unless it's a 3
30:27
three par course, par 3 course. I'm not.
30:30
I'm not playing eighteen holes of golf.
30:32
No, yeah, not half, unless there's a lot of mimosas
30:36
involved. I am enjoying our Margarita
30:40
Tuesday but we on the table here we this is that Coos deer I got
30:46
got the European done Super nice buck and the video if you
30:51
haven't seen it is on the channel.
30:53
It's doing pretty well. Although a guy did comment and
30:55
say that he said that I have fallen off so fast.
31:00
He's like you have fallen off so fast.
31:02
I go. What does that mean I.
31:03
Go. What do you mean?
31:04
Like the numbers are bigger than they've ever written?
31:06
And he was. Like, you mean in like you're
31:08
like shooting big bucks or? No, like he's saying like my
31:11
channels falling off. And I was like, yeah, I said I
31:14
fell off. And admittedly, we finished a
31:18
whole podcast right now, but the camera wasn't recording for half
31:23
of it, right? So we it was going to be a
31:27
longer pod probably, you know, maybe an hour.
31:30
But now I. Don't even know what we talked
31:32
about past, like what was on the film versus what I know we're
31:37
ended now, but. Yeah.
31:38
So anyway, we're going to kind of like, I don't know, it's
31:42
tough. We're going to have to just
31:44
continue from here and not know what we talked about twice, but
31:48
hopefully nothing. So anyways, boat disciples
31:51
challenge three, I'm not sure if it's in there, but be sure to go
31:55
to the event boat disciples.com and we won't have a mistake like
31:59
this again. It was a little chaotic with the
32:02
camera screen breaking and losing half the footage because
32:08
it shut off. Like it's been a lot and we're
32:10
adjusting to learning the DSLR. So that's kind of what's
32:13
happening, but I figured we'd hop back on and kind of out the
32:17
podcast, send her off to pastor so.
32:23
Yeah. I think really just what I know
32:26
we talked about at least at the end was just the, you know, if
32:29
you're in the area of Arizona or Southern California essentially
32:34
like we will be out at Southwest Bow Hunters.
32:39
That's where it is in Yuma for this shoot.
32:41
It's one the first leg of I think 4 legs and we'll have a
32:47
booth set up there. They ask us every year and it's
32:50
a lot of fun. Similar to your event and just
32:53
that like you go out there, you can camp, you know, drop your
32:56
trailer in or set up a tent like we'll be doing.
32:59
We cook out, you hang out after the shoot because it's like it
33:04
is a competition. You can I think shoot for fun is
33:07
what you were saying but on a different course.
33:11
But you go, you get randomly put with people.
33:14
The first day you shoot 20 targets and then you're done.
33:18
The rest of the day you just hang out with a bunch of people
33:20
like you've never met before and cook out.
33:23
You can shoot some more because they have a huge practice range.
33:26
It's very nice. And, and, and I believe they put
33:31
3D targets on the practice range to at least a couple of them,
33:34
right? Yeah.
33:34
So there's like 3D targets, there's regular bales.
33:38
They might even get their game out, they have this cool jug
33:40
game. I'll probably bring some of our
33:44
games as well. So definitely come to Southwest
33:46
Boatliners if you can. They're good people to support.
33:49
And if you can't make it this weekend for high noon at the
33:52
helos, what the shoots called. They're actually doing another
33:55
shoot the following weekend. That's they're kind of like
33:58
yearly classic walk the trails. And that one is a fun ass shoot.
34:04
And we would be at both, but we're going to be gone for the
34:07
second. One, yeah, that one, they have
34:10
this like, so they always have their Canyon course, which is
34:13
obviously like every target you can see you're in a Canyon.
34:18
But the one that drops down into these, like, I don't even know
34:22
what that brush is that's down there.
34:25
Yeah, it's. Tall.
34:25
But it's tall, like it's not anything I'm used to seeing in
34:29
Arizona, but it's there. So you just drop down this ditch
34:34
into like this Creek bottom, essentially this lowered area,
34:38
and the brush is all taller than you.
34:40
You're in. Like a like a desert.
34:42
Jurassic Park but desert style and there are these trails in
34:46
there, hence the name. Walk the trails and it's all
34:50
unmarked essentially. As in the targets are not
34:54
marked, you have to find them and if you want to compete the
34:58
The only rule is it's just that you cannot go back and search
35:03
for a target and reshoot it like you can for fun.
35:07
You can go back afterwards and find it and shoot it, but it
35:09
does not count towards your score.
35:11
So if you get all the way to the end and you only found 18 out of
35:14
20, guess what? You got 2 zeros you got to put
35:17
down, which really sucks. So you go slow, you take your
35:20
time, you really look and they do a good job of hiding some of
35:23
them. Except for the one year they
35:24
forgot to put a. Target Well, well, see, I think
35:27
they they kind of do that on purpose a little bit because if
35:30
someone tries to lie and just, you know, say put A8 for target
35:34
funny because they missed one, but then they can go there was
35:37
only 19 targets, right. Yeah, then you know someone was.
35:41
Lied or cheated? Yeah.
35:42
So it's fun, they keep you on your toes.
35:44
That personally is my favorite Shoot.
35:47
Unfortunately, we won't be here, but.
35:50
You know, that's big to me though, is like I said, like you
35:56
said, any time those guys asked me to come out to, you know,
36:01
film there or support them or do a booth or compete, I, I always
36:06
go as long as I don't have something else.
36:09
To do how many of them cross state lines?
36:11
Every that's. What I'm saying like I like it
36:14
when people want to help others like get bigger or improve.
36:21
I love that so. Or just offer support just.
36:24
Offer support is so important and that's something that always
36:28
has been a pillar of mine is anyone that I consider a friend
36:33
or, you know, even someone's that I've never even met.
36:36
But like if someone was doing YouTube or something and I was a
36:40
fan of their stuff and like what they were doing and they asked
36:43
me like, hey, will you come to my event?
36:45
Yeah, I would as long as like I didn't have something going.
36:48
And that's the type of people I really like, you know, and a lot
36:52
of people in Yuma are just like that.
36:53
They show up strong to my event. I'm I'm bringing several people
36:57
out to theirs like it's you, me, Ted, Chuck, maybe Vince.
37:03
I think Joey might come like, you know what I mean?
37:05
So we're going to roll out there pretty stiff, which is cool.
37:08
I'm. Going to bring some games too we
37:10
got. Golf Jam.
37:12
We've got can jam, we've got like this little like game, you
37:16
throw these ball things or something.
37:18
That game's mid. But I'm going to bring all of
37:20
that, plus we're going to bring the the target games with us, so
37:23
you can shoot with some people and whatnot.
37:26
And we'll have them all there for sale too.
37:28
So like if you want to buy some targets, you want to buy some
37:31
stabilizer, a new shirt, what else?
37:36
Oh, I don't know if we'll bring the tripod to.
37:38
Probably. Not just for space.
37:40
Tripod. The one thing we probably won't
37:41
bring, but everything else will be for sale.
37:43
The merch stickers, stabilizers, targets.
37:47
And they had a ton of giveaways at this shoe every.
37:50
Oh, that's right. And and straps, I want to touch
37:52
on that. We will.
37:54
This one or maybe this one and I.
37:57
Think the both, they do both, but we did just do a massive
38:01
restock on the straps. So if people are interested and
38:05
are going to be at the Yuma event, we'll have plenty in all
38:07
the colors we carry and right now on the website as well.
38:10
So that's exciting, but I'm excited to get out there.
38:14
Competing is going to be a lot of fun.
38:16
I'm heavily, highly anticipating how you do, especially because,
38:22
you know, like you said, I believe in the part that got
38:25
cut. But you competed at Walk the
38:28
Trail two years ago is Yeah, maybe last year, but not this
38:33
one. And this one's a lot more
38:34
sanctioned, like, it's a lot more serious.
38:37
Yeah. Like you got to shoot with me
38:39
and Whitney, for example. This time you're going to be
38:41
shooting with some women you probably just met.
38:42
You know I love that. So this I think it'll be a lot
38:45
of fun. Yeah, yeah, I'm interested.
38:47
I said that got less electric side because it got caught
38:51
because it didn't record is we really have not gotten to shoot
38:57
a lot of 3D stuff like it's been hunting or working.
39:01
Like if you're hunting, I'm back here working, you know, and vice
39:05
versa. Or we're both at hunting or I'm
39:08
going with you to travel to film something.
39:10
It was just a year of growth, which is great, but just also
39:14
limits the amount of fun stuff. We always talk about it like
39:18
your channel is not a hunting specific channel and it stinks a
39:26
little bit to not be able to go out and shoot just fun stuff all
39:29
the time. So I'm interested to see just
39:31
how this goes, having not shot a lot of 3D.
39:34
Well, like we haven't done a 3D since the Utah tack in July, so
39:41
we haven't done one since that's was a seven months and a local
39:46
1. Like I do not even remember
39:49
doing a single. Local.
39:50
Maybe the last local I did was bear ass.
39:56
No BD challenge. Besides yours I mean like local
39:59
wise BD or bear? Ass flying pig or something.
40:03
We did, we did. So we've done a couple, but just
40:06
not like we we try to at least make it to all the the big ones
40:10
like bare ass, the flying pig one at Balboa.
40:13
I wish I could make them like every week, every every month,
40:16
you know, like. Yeah, which we used to.
40:18
It's just the schedule does not allow for that.
40:20
Schedule has been insane. I mean, you know, I think that I
40:26
think that maybe something that gets overlooked about content
40:29
creation is unless you're doing, you know, kind of a studio
40:37
podcast type thing where people come to you or you just do it
40:41
yourself, like what Brett Cooper does or Candace Owens, something
40:44
like that where they're just talking to the camera.
40:46
But stuff like what we're doing or, you know, whoever Crispy or
40:52
you know, MFJJ or Elk shape, whoever kind of doing the same
40:58
thing. It's a lot of a lot of the
41:02
schedule is a lot. There's a lot and I know it's
41:06
fun stuff all the time, but like I don't know if people
41:10
understand all the time and like even people that are like my
41:13
family members are sometimes like I don't think can relate
41:16
sometimes to how much the. Schedule because it looks like
41:20
you know, to the everyday person, it looks like you're
41:23
just traveling for like vacation to visit friends or whatever.
41:28
It's like it's to visit a friend to make content.
41:33
Yeah, like Josh and I, when we go up there, I mean
41:35
realistically between all the Co labs I have, the videos I'm
41:39
going to do for my channel, the video I'm going to do for Joshua
41:41
channel, maybe Time channel, plus all the stuff for my
41:44
channel. I wouldn't be surprised if my
41:46
channel alone comes out with a half dozen videos, and probably
41:53
that many across all the others. So the point being, you're
41:56
filming all day. Like essentially we wake up, we
42:00
maybe go get some Starbies or have some breakfast and then
42:04
it's back to the shop and to the 3D course there and it's filming
42:09
or it's filming in the house and then maybe we get to go to
42:12
dinner and then you spend some time in the hot tub and.
42:16
Then you go to bed. I.
42:17
Go to bed at like 8:30. Me and Josh sit pop still 2AF.
42:21
And then wake up at 7 and film again.
42:23
But it's like I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.
42:26
And you know, especially now while I feel like there is so
42:30
many guys kind of grow, grow, growing a lot in the space right
42:35
now that a lot of us have been doing it a long time too.
42:38
So you're not just like you're seeing a lot of guys have been
42:41
grinding a long time, kind of all like elevating at a good
42:45
pace. And I think that's like a rise,
42:48
a rising tide can raise all ships.
42:50
So I think like, what better time to really like grind and
42:53
try to get, you know, get on film with these people and all
42:57
of us can grow together. And then at some point, you
42:59
know, I mean, I'm not planning on slowing up anytime soon, but
43:03
at some time, you know, it could probably be like, all right,
43:05
this year we're going to like do more local stuff and like go on
43:10
less stuff. You know, that that time
43:12
probably will come, but not anytime soon.
43:15
It's like, you know, while, while the momentum's going, I
43:18
think you got to keep the foot on the gas pedal.
43:21
That's my plan. Like right now, I think I have 3
43:25
videos edited that are not out yet, you know, and then I got
43:29
one more to edit that I haven't edited yet.
43:32
Plus who knows, maybe another hunting video from what I have
43:37
plus as half dozen in Washington +2.
43:41
And it's like if you think about how many videos that is, and
43:46
that's only between now and the end of February.
43:50
So I think of that output and I think for some people it's hard
43:53
to register because it we're just having fun and that's the
43:57
reality. We are just having fun.
43:59
But someone has to hold the camera, someone has to edit the
44:03
video. You got to not lose the footage
44:06
or like accidentally delete something or there's so many
44:08
pieces to it. Like right now, for example, I
44:11
just broke a camera. I can't find my 2024 external
44:15
drive. I don't know where that thing
44:18
is. So it's like there's all these
44:20
pieces that go into it, but it's fun, like, you know, yeah.
44:24
That's the difference in having it, finding, having found a job
44:27
that you are passionate about, that you can turn a hobby
44:31
essentially into a job. Yeah, and that's what I say that
44:36
like any other normal, not nine to five job.
44:39
Still can't be a passion, you know?
44:41
Oh, I'm sure, yeah. You just happen to have a hobby
44:44
that you are passionate about that you allowed yourself to
44:49
turn into a job. Well, my broker, she said
44:52
something today. Basically, Long story short, I
44:57
got a real estate client. I was going to do the deal for
45:01
them and it ended up it was going to be a pretty complex
45:04
deal. It was going to be what we call
45:05
contingent. They had some kind of
45:08
interesting stipulations, like it wasn't going to be a smooth,
45:11
fast deal. And I had to, I've never done
45:16
this before with one of my deals, but I said on this one
45:18
right now, this deal with these stipulations at this time in my
45:25
life, I need to refer this to somebody else because I just
45:29
don't have time to do it, you know, because I'm committing all
45:33
my time to growing my other business about Disciples LLC,
45:37
right? It hurts because that's a lot of
45:41
money, but at the same time, it's I was not best for my
45:45
clients in this case. And I really do care about my
45:48
clients being represented well. So I know my broker's great.
45:52
So I referred her, referred them over to my broker, but she said
46:00
something that I thought was pretty, pretty good.
46:02
And it was a double entendre sort of.
46:06
But she said to them, you know, you can call me anytime.
46:10
I work all of the time, like I work seven days a week.
46:15
You can call me anytime. I will always pick up and that
46:21
is basically what I am doing, but in something else, you know,
46:26
and I can't what she's telling them.
46:29
That's true for her in that field.
46:32
That's also true for me and probably a lot of other people,
46:36
but in different fields, you know what I mean?
46:38
So for me to try to represent them on a deal that was just
46:42
like over my head, I don't have the time for.
46:44
Honestly, I'm a little too rusty for something like it.
46:47
That would have been selfish and not representing my club it
46:51
well. So just hearing her say that and
46:54
then the topic we're talking about now, you know, I don't
46:59
know. I just think that's interesting.
47:01
But I totally agree. There's plenty of people that
47:03
are passionate about being an accountant.
47:05
There's nothing that says look at Ted.
47:08
Ted loves firefighting, you know what I mean?
47:10
And a lot of people love all sorts of things.
47:14
Yeah. And just like the jobs that that
47:17
you're applying for, you know, that you're like, this is the
47:20
one I really like. I want this one, you know, so
47:24
that's cool. Jeez Louise, Albus.
47:27
You turned up. I don't know, I I just, I think
47:31
everyone has a busier. I've never really liked the term
47:36
busy that much, but I. Think that I've said that in a
47:39
while, but yeah. I don't like the term busy.
47:41
I like to be like, just productive and keep it moving.
47:43
But I do think that most people have more going on than, you
47:51
know. Is that safe to say?
47:54
Like most people, yeah. Like it doesn't matter what like
48:00
a cop, any job really, or even a student, like, you know,
48:05
everyone kind of has more going. And you just have, like general
48:08
life things going on, like whether it's like maintenance
48:12
that needs to be done on your house or whatever, you know?
48:17
Yeah, but pile it up over there, you got multiple kids and
48:24
juggling, you know, family life with working.
48:27
And then you're trying to like do something fun once in a while
48:29
with your buddy, you know, that you haven't seen in two months
48:32
or whatever. Like it's just a lot of stuff.
48:35
But, you know, but bringing it back, like, I do miss doing the
48:41
local shoots I saw. You know, obviously we're going
48:45
to a shoot the tournament this weekend in Arizona, but I saw on
48:49
Instagram that Alpine's doing a 3D shoot on Sunday and I'm
48:54
bummed that we can't make it. But the reality is, you know, we
48:58
already had obligations somewhere else and then, you
49:02
know, it's just been tough to make them.
49:03
But I'm certainly I I when you also are we're not bailing on
49:10
local shoots. It's just there have not fit in
49:13
the schedule yet in a while. But as soon as they do, I'd love
49:18
to go to Balboa. Like, I miss going and shooting,
49:20
so hopefully soon, yeah. You know, hopefully.
49:24
Yeah, so anyway, I think this was a good pod.
49:27
Yeah, I don't know what else was.
49:30
I hopefully we covered everything that got covered and
49:33
then got not reported, but I don't know.
49:36
Butmotorcycles.com get those motorcycles challenge tickets.
49:39
This part might have been cut, so I'll talk about it real
49:41
quick, but Brianna made a good point.
49:43
Treat it as if the event will. Make it in but yes.
49:47
You think it's in there? I think so.
49:49
So anyway, just if it doesn't, the tickets are selling so well
49:52
that just be safe, get one now. I do not think we're going to
49:56
have to cap it, but just in case, get your ticket now rather
50:00
than later and subscribe to the bonus podcast YouTube.
