1 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days 2 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: in the field. This show is about translating my hard 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: won experiences into tips and tactics they'll get you closer 4 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: to your ultimate goal success in the field. I'm Remy Warren. 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: This is cutting the distance. Welcome back, everybody. I hope 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: you've been enjoying these podcasts. You know, we're talking a 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: lot about bow hunting, and if I think about bow hunting, 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: then I got to think about successful bow hunting. And 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: really to be a successful bow hunter, there's thousands of 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: things that need to go right, and while much of 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: it might seem out of your control, there's archers out 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: there who seem to just find consistent success and I 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: believe that this is due to limiting easy mistakes to 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: shift the odds slightly in the hunter's favor. So the 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: last four episodes, we've been going over everything it takes 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: to become a new bow hunter, from gear and setups 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: to shooting in your backyard too then shooting a game. 18 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: So this week in Bow Hunting two oh two, we're 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: gonna just take it a step further and talk about 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: the advanced considerations of things like wind, shot angle and 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: then the noise in your setup, how to adjust it, 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: and how to just push those odds in your favor. 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: But before we do that, I want to tell a 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: story of a recent hunt of my own where I 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: cut a corner and unfortunately paid for it. So last 26 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: week I found myself down in Arizona chasing coups and 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: meal dear. It was kind of a last minute decision. Really, 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: I just kind of I actually got a new bow 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: and I've been shooting it and I'm like, man, this 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: thing is just driving tax I'm shooting it great. I 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of time with it, but I thought, okay, 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: i'd be fun to go take this out on a hunt. 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: The archery over the counter tags are available, and I 34 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: just kind of figured it was like a Sunday and 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna to go to Arizona. So I 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: started packing up my truck and then left like Monday 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: morning and started driving down there. And I only had 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: a few days of the week to hunt, so it 39 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: was just kind of a bond's eye trip. I guess, 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: just load up the stuff, head down, do a little 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: solo exploring and see if I can't get on a buck. 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: So I got down there, and actually the place that 43 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: I used to hunt, it seems like it's been pretty 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: dry recently, but there's big storms moving in. I don't 45 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: know if you're from the west right now, but we're 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: getting hammered with some storms. So um it was. It 47 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: was rainy and actually fairly cold, but I think it 48 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: had been pretty dry before. And when I got into 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: the area, the first thing I noticed was, okay, a 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: recent burn. Whereas planning on hunting now, hunting burns can 51 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: be great, but in this particular instance, there is no 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: grass um. The conditions just weren't great for the deer, 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: and because of it, I didn't really see any deer. 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: I saw the first day, I got on a small 55 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: fork and horn meal deer buck and probably could have 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: taken a shot, but I decided to pass. I had 57 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: three more days left and figured first evening, I'm going 58 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: to look around. Now. The place I was hunting was 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: quite a walk to get in there. It's I don't know, 60 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: maybe four miles, I would say, just like to get 61 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: into the hunting area. Not that that was necessary, but 62 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: I just figured I go somewhere right enough to really 63 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: run into other hunters, and I ended up spotting a lot, 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: so I moved past the burn ended making me have 65 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: to hike a little bit further. And I get past 66 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: the burn and now I'm in good, good habitats, start 67 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: spotting does, but just no box. It's like the rut. 68 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out if it should have been prime up, 69 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: but it's like the rut was over. It's like the 70 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: bucks were either locked down with does or they were 71 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: just off on their own. And that makes it a 72 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: little bit difficult, especially with deer that can be hard 73 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: to spot in the first place. So I started picking 74 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: out lots and lots of doughs, just no bucks, which 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, first full day and so I 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: kind of got there a half day, spotted that meal 77 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: there buck that evening, and then the first old day, 78 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean I hunted hard. I put on miles. I'd 79 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: have to let me look at my watch. I think 80 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: I put in like sixteen miles that day. Is is 81 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: something crazy. And I was doing a lot of glassing 82 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: as well, so a lot of that walking was just 83 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: in the dark to a good vantage and then moving 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: along this long ridge up the mountain and then back down, 85 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: and right at last light I spotted like a big 86 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: cuse deer buck, a giant, but unfortunately he popped out 87 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: seeing some doughs and then it was the only running 88 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: activity I saw. Then he just started chasing those doughs, 89 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: and uh so I go back the next day, a 90 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: big like just heavy rains, hale starts moving in. I 91 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: don't actually see anything. I came up on a tiny 92 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: spike cousebuck that I actually he was like ten yards away, 93 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: and then outside of that nothing, So I decided I'm 94 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: gonna go move areas and try somewhere a little bit 95 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: different for mule deer. But I only had one day, 96 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: so it was a five hour drive from where I 97 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: was at on the other side of the state, but 98 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: just a little bit better mule deer country. So I 99 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: dry there, get their dark camp the night out, and 100 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: then I'm looking at my on X map, just like 101 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: cruising through areas. I mean, while I'm out there, I'm 102 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: constantly scouting for new spots, looking for areas, so I'm 103 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: just flipping between my map layers, going through the regulations, 104 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: kind of reading up on this area. I hunted this 105 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: particular unit, but not this side of the unit for 106 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: a very long time, maybe ten or fifteen years ago, 107 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: so I just couldn't even remember the accesses and where 108 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: legal access was to get into the area and all 109 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I'm just, like you know, 110 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: at night, just spending time going through and planning out 111 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: my hunt for the next day. I end up before daylight, 112 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: getting up and start hiking in and get to a 113 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: good glassing vantage and start picking out deer. Okay, cool. 114 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: I spotted a small mule deer buck with a group 115 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: of doughs, and he's kind of like moving to water, 116 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: but there's been so much rainy they never had to 117 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: go to water, so they just started moving up the canyon. Feared, well, 118 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: it's a good glassing area, a lot of great little 119 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: breaks in here. If I see a buck, will probably 120 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: be able to get a shot. Just how good the 121 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: terrain was, and it was very glassful. So my plan 122 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: was I'm gonna just kind of move up the ridge 123 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: there's maybe a three four three mile long ridge or so, 124 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: and then glass into the shade for the day because 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm imagining these bucks are probably gonna pull off by 126 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: themselves if there's anything. Like I was saying in the 127 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: other spot, it's like the bucks were not with the does, 128 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: and sure enough I started picking up groups of does, 129 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: no bucks. So I hike up. You know, I'm quite 130 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: a ways away from where I started, and it's starting 131 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: to become evening, and I'm glassing. I'm just glassing every 132 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: little fold in the mountains. It becomes available. As I'm 133 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: moving up this ridge and I finally spot a mature buck. 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, sweet, oh, this is so good. And he's 135 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: bedded in a place where I can get to this ridge. 136 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna be facing where I'm coming from. But the 137 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: wind is blowing in my direction. It's like perfect concealed approach. 138 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: So I climb down. I make a big loop around 139 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: so he doesn't see me, get up on the top 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: and start working my way down on. This is my 141 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: last day. It was a very short trip, but I 142 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: put in some serious miles. I drove a long way. 143 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: It's like a twenty something our drive, I don't know. 144 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: So I get into position, I get up on the 145 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: ridge and I take my boots off. I'm like, all right, 146 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this one stock count. Got the camera 147 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: with me. I'm doing a little self filming, just to 148 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: add insult to injury, you know, making things makes something 149 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: that's already difficult more difficult. It's just the way I 150 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: like to do it. And so I start creeping in. 151 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm coming down the ridge. Well I figured out, you know, 152 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: I've got on my map where he's at, and I'm 153 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: looking and I'm just kind of dropped down this one 154 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: canyon ahead where I'm gonna go up the next little 155 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: rise and then creep in and I blew a buck 156 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: out of there, a different buck that I didn't see, Like, 157 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: oh crap, is he gonna take this deer with them? 158 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: What's going on? So I just tell myself, look, you 159 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: don't know what happened on that next two ridges over 160 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: where that buck was. Yeah, it's likely that deer took him. 161 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: But if it's not, you don't want to go in 162 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: there hastily and blow it. This is my best opportunity, 163 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: probably gonna be my only opportunity, so I've got to 164 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: make it count. So I creep in stocking just like 165 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: I was going to, and sure enough I see the 166 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: buck laying there. I'm like, sweet, now, I've been cloudy 167 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: all day, but unfortunately it's like just decided to get 168 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: sunny right right as I'm closing in. So I I 169 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: keep creeping in. I've got this bush on the ridge 170 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: in front of me that I can keep in between 171 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 1: the buck's eyes sight myself, and I get into position 172 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: range the buck, and unfortunately, like where he's laying, there's 173 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: just no way to get closer. But he's far but 174 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: not too far. He's fifty yards perfect, Like that's a 175 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: doable shot. I mean, I can definitely hit where I'm aiming. 176 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: As long as the circumstances are right, it should be perfect. 177 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: So unfortunately, the sun's beating down on me, and I'm like, 178 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm not and he's kind of looking my direction, so 179 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: there's no way that I'm just gonna draw back, stand 180 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: up and try shooting him like this because he's gonna 181 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: blow out. And so my thought is, I'm gonna would 182 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: wait for a cloud to come over when he's looking way, 183 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: or the better scenario. I'm just hoping he also asleep. 184 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there, I'm baking in the sun and 185 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: just laying watching trying not to get a neck crank, 186 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and you know, the bucks like looking in my direction, 187 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: then looking away, looking, but the clouds just will not 188 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: come cast a shadow. I mean, I don't want to 189 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: just be standing out in the open. So I'm just 190 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: sitting there, right, thirty minutes goes by, cool, just waiting, waiting. 191 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Hour goes by, alright, sooner or later, this buck's either 192 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna stand up, start feeding, that will give me a shot, 193 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: fall asleep, like do something stupid. So I keep waiting, 194 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: keep waiting, and then I just see the bucks starting 195 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: to nod off, and I think, oh yeah, this is 196 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: a done deal. This is perfect. Buck falls asleep. I'm like, 197 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: all right, now I don't need to wait for the shade, 198 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: because um, it should be good. So I'm there's the 199 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: hill in front of me. I've got a good blockage 200 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: of this bush, so I draw back on my knees. 201 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: The buck doesn't move, anchor back and settle in nice. 202 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: I slowly stand up. There's no wind, it's dead calm, 203 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, sleeping buck, I'm just gonna put 204 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: You know, he's got a good open quartering away. I 205 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: picked my spot and I just hold on that spot 206 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: and think I've got all the time in the world, 207 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: which I do, and I the bow goes off. I 208 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: release perfect shot. But that buck, it's like when my 209 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: bow went off, it sounded like to meet like a 210 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: gun went off. It was just like so loud wap, 211 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: and the arrow flew and that buck jumped up and 212 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: that arrow hit exactly where I was aiming in that 213 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: bucks bed, and that buck ran off. Not knowing what happened. 214 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: The buck like ran off fifty yards making noises like 215 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: a hundred and something yards now looking around, I just 216 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: sat down, was like, dang it. He heard the bow 217 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: jumped the string, My arrow hit perfect where I wanted 218 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: it to go, Yet there was no buck there by 219 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: the time the arrow got there, and I started thinking 220 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: about it, I'm like, okay, it was my other bow, 221 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have had any problem. But I generally go 222 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: through my bow and try to find like things that 223 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: are noisy and what have you. But I hadn't spent 224 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: a lot of time with this bow. I put pretty 225 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: much the same equipment on it, but I decided since 226 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot of time to broadhead tune, 227 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: I was just shooting mechanical broadheads and they didn't really 228 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: fit in the quiver right, So that was a little 229 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: bit of noise. Then normally I go through and tape 230 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: everything up, and I had a lot of sound dampening 231 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: tape on my bow already. But the one thing I 232 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: didn't think about was my rest And I didn't notice 233 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: how loud everything was because when I've been shooting at 234 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: home it was slightly windy, and maybe it just wasn't 235 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: that intense moment where you're sneaking in on a buck 236 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: and you and you notice. And that's why I like 237 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: to hunt with the same bow a lot. But every 238 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: time I get a new bow, there's a few little 239 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: kinks I need to work out. Hopefully I work them 240 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: out on the range, but I didn't take the time 241 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: to do it this time, and unfortunately paid for it 242 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: by a buck jumping the string in a situation that 243 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: I thought for sure it was a done deal. So 244 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: even as a professional that does these things all the time, 245 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, I sometimes skip a few little corners. In 246 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: those little corners, those little things that you can pay 247 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: attention to mean the difference sometimes between going home successful 248 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: and going home with the story of an arrow in 249 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: a bucks bed. When you're setting up a bow, there's 250 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: a few advanced considerations you should include, especially for compound 251 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: bow shooters, in both the setup and the practice, and 252 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: they include a proper level of the bow site on 253 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: all the access is understanding what to do and shooting 254 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: on a slope, and then the ability to just for 255 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: wind as well as silencing your setup. So I think 256 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: that those things are very important and just little tiny 257 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: details that make a big difference when it comes to 258 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: being successful in the field harvesting game animal. One little 259 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: thing can go wrong and that can be the difference 260 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: between you punching a tag and not. So let's start 261 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: with the level of the bow. You know, a lot 262 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: of guys might think this isn't really a big deal, 263 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: and for all intents and purposes, it might not be. 264 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: If you're just shooting, you know, on very level terrain 265 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: at twenty yards or from a tree stand at twenty yards, 266 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: some of these things might not make as big of 267 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: a difference as they do when you start to extrapolate 268 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: that out over longer distances or start hunting mountains Western 269 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: big game. I think for Western big game hunting, especially 270 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: when you're hunting in the mountains, having a site with 271 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: a level that is actually level is make or break, 272 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to those longer distances, steep angles, 273 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: or even just standing on a slope. All those things 274 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: are going to affect the shot. So let's kind of 275 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: break down your bow site, and what we're gonna be 276 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: talking about is how to level your site. And we're 277 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna be working up to leveling it on the third axis. 278 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: And not all bow sites have this, but I think 279 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: that if you're if you're gonna be serious about bow hunting, 280 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be hunting Western animals like elk deer, 281 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: mostly mule deer, who knows maybe draw sheep, tag or 282 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: antelope or whatever, having that ability to shoot a little 283 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: bit further, but also knowing you're going to be encountering angles, 284 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: you need to make sure that all these things are level. 285 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna break down right now, uh, steps for 286 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: for leveling the bubble on your bow site. So the 287 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: first two measurements of I would say leveling your site 288 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: housing are gonna be the first and second access and 289 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: these things are gonna be done on level ground. All 290 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: we're really doing is we're actually just making sure that 291 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the level on your bow is true so that the 292 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: bubble on that level is true to the level of 293 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: the ground. So what we're gonna do, I mean, this 294 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: can be done in a vice, This can be done However, 295 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: we just need to make sure that when that bow 296 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: is level up and down, left and right, that the 297 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: level on the site is true to that. So you 298 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: you have a baseline. UM, I'm gonna break down these 299 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: like some people get confused on well, what's the first access, 300 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: what's the second access? And some sites don't necessarily even 301 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: have a first access. It's just it's just machined in 302 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: a certain way that it does this. So what the 303 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: first access is would be like the site housing itself. 304 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: Now my site, UM, I use the fast steady Xcel 305 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: spot dog, so I can actually like turn that site housing. 306 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: It's like the site housing thing that holds your pin. 307 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: I could rotate that three D and sixty degrees like 308 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: forward backward like roll it um like roll it forward 309 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: if I wanted, or roll it back. So that would 310 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: be the first access. And what I want to do 311 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: is I want to make sure that that is level 312 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: with a level bow. So I put my bow in 313 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: a vice straight up and down. I've got a level 314 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: for the string is actually mine's kind of two ways 315 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: such as the left and right can't. So the can't 316 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: of the bow would be if you're holding the bow 317 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: on its riser whether the top limbs bent left or right. 318 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: So we want to make sure that the bow is 319 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: straight up and down, and then we're gonna level that 320 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: first access based on like say the front of the 321 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: riser of the bow, so you can put a level 322 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: on that like a small carpenter's level, and then get 323 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: that front site housing. I actually just put a level 324 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: like a carpenter's level right back on that site housing 325 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: and just level it once that bow is locked off level. 326 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: Most bows don't have that, so you don't even really 327 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: have to worry about it. And I would say that 328 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: this is out of leveling everything, this is probably the 329 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: least important because most it just comes level that way. 330 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: The most important level would be your second access. And 331 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: what this is doing is this is just leveling the 332 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: site so the left and right to tell if your 333 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: bows canted. Um, So what this would do is, like 334 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, just imagine a level on a table. What 335 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: we're doing is we're leveling that site to the ground 336 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: like a flat plane, so you know, to to make 337 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: sure that that bubbles between the two indicator markers and 338 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: just centered in the level itself that's on the site. 339 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: So you don't want one end to be lifted higher 340 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: than the other. So it's going to just be adjusting 341 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: a site kind of like rocking it left or right, 342 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So it would be just like 343 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: if you had a level on a table and the 344 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: table wasn't level, so you had to shoom one side, 345 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: so you're kind of just pushing one side up or 346 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: down to level that actual level in the site. I 347 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: hope that makes sense. Uh, this is the most It's 348 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: important because it's kind of the baseline for everything, and 349 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: for most shooters, this is gonna be all you really need. UM. 350 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: When you're shooting in the backyard, shooting at targets, shooting 351 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: at short distances, you just want to make sure that 352 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: the bow that you're holding back at full draw when 353 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: you level it out, is truly level to the ground. 354 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: And why that makes a big difference is because if 355 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: your bows canted one way or another, it's axually going 356 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: to change your point of impact. And sometimes you might 357 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: not even notice the fact that you're canting that bow 358 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: one direction or another. So what canting is is, say 359 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: the UM, when I shoot a traditional bow, I actually 360 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: can't intentionally to push my arrow one direction and to 361 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: open up my site picture, so it's the top limb 362 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: leans one way. So if I'm canting right, the top 363 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: limb is leaning to the right. Now, on a compound bow, 364 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: you try to shoot that thing perfectly straight up and down. 365 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: But if your top limbs canted left, then your arrow 366 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: will impact further left, and if it's right, it'll impact 367 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: further right because it's changing your site picture and where 368 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: that arrow is gonna go. So once we've got that 369 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: second access level, um one way that you could do 370 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: that if you don't have like a bow vice and 371 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: or a shop that you can go to. I've done 372 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: it many ways where I just put the two limbs 373 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: up against a wall that I've already made sure as plum. 374 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: So I take just a carpenters square, put it up 375 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: against a wall actually near a jam or a window opening, 376 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: so the site can actually stick out into whatever you're doing. 377 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: So I'll put the boat up against the wall. I'll 378 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: put the carpenter's level like up against the boat. Make 379 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: sure it's level like the left and right, it's not 380 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: canting one way or another. So just you know, m 381 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: maybe because of the design of the boat might allow 382 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: one side to be off a little bit. So I'll 383 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: make sure if it is, then I'll shim it so 384 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: it's it's level, and then I just look at the 385 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: level on my site and say, okay, is this level 386 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: as well? And if not, then I'll adjust it to 387 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: where it's now level. Then i'll lock it down. We're 388 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: good to go. It's as easy as that. You could 389 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: do it just up against the wall if you want to, 390 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: and and honestly that's how I do most mind. So 391 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: now we're going to talk about the third axis, and 392 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: that is really just kind of like I think of 393 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: it is the mythical third axis. What the third axis 394 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: is going to do is it's going to make sure 395 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: that that bow is level, not only on flat ground, 396 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: but as we angle that bow down. So if you 397 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: were to draw back and now you've got a forty 398 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: five degree shot off of a ledge, which is about 399 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: guaranteed and meal deer hunting, we need to make sure 400 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: that that bow is still maintaining its level so as 401 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: you move down or up, that that level is actually 402 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: true to the level of the horizontal plane that you're 403 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: standing on. Now you're going to be on a slope, 404 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: so that's changing a lot of things, like the way 405 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: that things feel, But also we just on flat ground 406 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: want to make sure that shooting at an angle that 407 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: level is actually level. And to do this, we're gonna 408 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: be doing it by pushing the site housing away or 409 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: towards the shooter, kind of like a hinge on a door. 410 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: So that's what the third axis is. And you're probably 411 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: like thinking, like everybody else, well, how exactly does it work? 412 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: Why would it not be level if it's level? And 413 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: I think the best answer comes from the movie Joe 414 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: Dirt when he meets his dad and he's like, how 415 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: exactly a rainbow is made? How exactly does the sun set? 416 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: How exactly does the possi track re rand on a 417 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: playmouth work? It just does. So if you know that 418 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: that just works, here's just gonna be a lot better off. 419 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter how it works. You go into 420 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: a lot of different details of it, but it does work. 421 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: So when you're leveling that third access, it really needs 422 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: to be done at full draw because your grip plays 423 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: a lot into that factor of how your bows torqued 424 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: in a certain direction. And so I like to make 425 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: sure that it's I do the third access always at 426 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: full draw, because it doesn't make any sense for me 427 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: to do it when it's not at full draw because 428 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: obviously it's it's for shooting and shooting at an angle. 429 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of different ways you could 430 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: do this. Um the way that I do, I actually 431 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: have a little tool made by Hamski and what it 432 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: is it's like, once I've leveled my site on level 433 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: terrain in the vice or up against the wall, then 434 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: I can clip this thing on the site and it's 435 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: got this bar on it. And so what I'm trying 436 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: to do is make sure that my pins and everything 437 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: when I'm angling down at something that's plumb, that the 438 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: level in there reads true. So with that tool, I 439 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: actually have a corner in my house that I've double 440 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: checked with carpenter Square that it is plumb, and it 441 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: should be because I made it myself. So in that 442 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: corner I use to make sure that my access is 443 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: on so drawback, and then that tool has like a 444 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: bar with like a pin on the top and the bottom, 445 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: and I level that bar in that plumb line in 446 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: that crack of the corner and then make sure that 447 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: the level itself on the site is level. Now another 448 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: way to do it would be doing used like a 449 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: plumb bob where you could just run a string with 450 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, some washers or whatever tied to the bottom, 451 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: nail it up on a raft or in your garage 452 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: or something like that. Come to full draw, and then 453 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: put your say, if you've got multiple pins, put your 454 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: twenty yard pin and your bottom pin on the level line, 455 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: and then slowly bend at the hips down to a 456 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: fort or five degree following that line down, keeping your 457 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: twenty and your bottom pin on that plumb line. And 458 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: then once you're down at that angle, check the level 459 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: and see if when your pins that should be level. 460 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: You know that the line of the pins are lined 461 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: up on that plumb line, whether that bubble level is 462 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: balanced out or not, and if not, then you either 463 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: need to push the side away or bring it towards you, 464 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 1: depending on which side it's on. You can play with 465 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: that a little bit. So that's the way to do it. 466 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: It sounds very confusing, but I think it's a it's 467 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: something that needs you know, a lot of people get 468 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: these sites they say a third access and and nobody 469 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: takes the time to adjust for it. And honestly, in 470 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: many instances, there's very few times where I haven't had 471 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: an angled shot at something because the way that you 472 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: sneak in the type of stocks that are probably the 473 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: most successful, or the type of terrain you're in, you're 474 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: gonna need that. And you know what stern hunting, you're 475 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: shooting out at ranges from forty to fifty or six 476 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: yards sometimes even in closer ranges of steep angles. I 477 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: think it does make a different. I know it does 478 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 1: make a difference because it could impact left or right somewhere. 479 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: You don't want so do that. Once you've got that 480 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: set it fold draw, then just go prove it out 481 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: in the field shooting at a target and make sure 482 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: that everything is right. And you can always adjust to 483 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: when you're shooting. Maybe find out when you're out there shooting, 484 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: you know if you're left and right is different as 485 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: you're shooting in an angle, Well adjust that third access 486 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,239 Speaker 1: level on the site and you should be good. Now 487 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: that we've got our site completely level. I think there's 488 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: some special shot considerations when you're shooting on a hill. 489 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: If you go out into the field, if you think 490 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: about hunting scenarios, you're probably not going to be on 491 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: level terrain. In most Western hunting situations. I guess the 492 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: only one that probably bucks that would be antelope hunting. 493 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: But even then I find some just like weird angles 494 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: when I'm out there. And part of it is it's 495 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: just when you're on a hill or on a slope, 496 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: it's very deceiving to understand what's level. Your body holds 497 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: you up naturally, and you think that, oh, this is level, 498 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: But when you're trying to hold like a bow out there, 499 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: it's completely different because what gravity is doing is it's 500 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: pulling you in the downhill direction. So the unfortunate part is, 501 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: let's say I've got a deer across the canyon. I've 502 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: got one slope going one way, and the deer's below me, 503 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: so I would just think, okay, I'm gonna just draw back, 504 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: and maybe so my slope imagine like a slope going downhill. 505 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm standing on it, so obviously I'm facing downhill, probably 506 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: if I'm right handed shooter, and the deer is like 507 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: in this little goalie coming up the other side, or 508 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: bedded on the other side, something like that shot that 509 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: I've seen a thousand times, and I go to draw back, Well, 510 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: what happens is I feel like it's level but gravity 511 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: is pulling the top of that limb downhill. So what 512 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: that's gonna do is it's actually going to make my 513 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: Now that I've got a level bow and everything, when 514 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: I when I go to put my pin on that deer, 515 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look and it's gonna show that the bow 516 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: is not level. So I'm canting one direction and that's 517 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: going to push my arrow away that I don't want 518 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: it to go. So I try to compensate, but it's 519 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: really hard at full draw, I found to actually compensate 520 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: against gravity. What my go to is for this type 521 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: of shot or when I'm on a hill, is before 522 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: I draw back, it's way easier to fall into gravity 523 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: and get level than it is to push against gravity 524 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: to get level. So what I like to do is 525 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: it can be a little deceiving, but I tried to 526 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: like lean into the hill or lean into the direction 527 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: over compensate in the opposite direction on my draw. So 528 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: I want to be drawn drawing back kind of leaning 529 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: back towards the hill, and then once I settle in, 530 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to bring it with gravity to 531 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: that level position. By doing that, I think that you're 532 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna find a lot more success and a lot more 533 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: precision shooting at hills or downhill. And then one other 534 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: consideration is when you're shooting up or downhill. You know, 535 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: remember that you don't want to just move your arm 536 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: down because you got to remember, as we talked about 537 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: shooting anchor, is everything consistency in that in that repeatable consistency. 538 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: So if I just move my arm down forty five 539 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: degrees but keep everything the same, well my anchor point 540 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: is not going to be the same. I'm not going 541 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: to be looking through my peep the same and it's 542 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit off. So what I like 543 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: to do is I like to bend at the hips. 544 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: I know some people like way over exaggerate this, but 545 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: you know I want to make sure all I'm doing 546 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: is keeping my same form and then bending with the shots, 547 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: so nothing changes in my form because I'm shooting up 548 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: or downhill, and that's key to making those good shots. 549 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: The next advanced consideration is going to be wind. And 550 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: all these things really have to do with the level 551 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: of the boat as well. So you think about wind. 552 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: Wind can affect your arrow in so many ways. Mostly 553 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be affected in a left or right movement. 554 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: There's a very few times that I've stocked something and 555 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: there hasn't been wind. Where I practice, where I shoot 556 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: a lot, it's always windy. Where I hunt a lot 557 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: is always windy. Uh. You know, the ideal would be 558 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: the wind in your face, and there are ways to 559 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: compensate for out. But it's not necessarily as as drastic 560 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: as the left or right winds. But you will encounter 561 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: a lot of cross wind in practice shooting at three 562 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: D targets, three D ranges, whatever. But in hunting situations 563 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: you're gonna encounter it a lot. And understanding how your 564 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: arrow flies in the wind and how to compensate for 565 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: it is huge. So there's two ways that you can 566 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: do it, and there's two ways that I do it. 567 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: The first is just holding off. So let's say you've 568 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: got a dear facing left, he's bedded into the wind 569 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: or standing into the wind, and um you let's say 570 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: it's like a ten mileon arrow wind, So you can 571 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: just hold off. So if he's facing into the wind, 572 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: I put it a little more forward on his shoulder, 573 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: release the arrow, and hope that the wind pushes my 574 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: arrow into the vitals. Now, another way to do it. 575 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: And one way that I use a lot is what 576 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: people call bubbling, or like just can't in the direction 577 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: that I want the arrow to go, so um, I 578 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: can use my bubble in the level as a gauge, 579 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: so it's a little bit more precise, and then I 580 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: can aim at the exact spot that I want to hit. 581 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: What I'll do it's like, let's say the winds coming 582 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: from my left, you just can't the bow, so you 583 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: put the top riser of the boat into the wind. 584 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: What that's gonna do is that's actually gonna push my shot. 585 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: So if I'm canting the bow left, it's actually gonna 586 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: push the arrow left. How I don't know. It just 587 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: makes no sense, but it really works. And the further 588 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: out you go, the more drastic that is. So I 589 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: can use the level my bubble level. So I'll tip 590 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: it left so that I'll push that bubble to the 591 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: right side of that line, and I can gauge how 592 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: much my arrow is gonna go left by seeing how 593 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: much that bubble is moved over to one side. So 594 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: I can just go drastic full as much as I can, 595 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: or I can kind of go just a little bit 596 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: if it's a light breeze or whatever, and then that 597 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: allows me to aim on one particular spot and hit 598 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: that spot. It involves a lot of practice, but I 599 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: like using canting the bow left or right to adjust 600 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: for the wind because I can actually practice that without wind, 601 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: which is really cool because you can go out, go 602 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: out to fourty yards, try this, shoot one perfectly level 603 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: at the center, then aim at that same arrow, but 604 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: go drastic with your with your bow like tip the 605 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: top of the riser right, real hard, take a shot, 606 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: then do it left to real hard and see where 607 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: the bubble is and see how much it moves. So 608 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, if I go all the way, it's about 609 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: for me eight inches with my setup, you know for 610 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: thirty yards or whatever, which is actually found is pretty 611 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: good for a fairly stiff wind, so I can kind 612 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: of hold in the right spot. I can camp the 613 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: bow into the wind, and then I can hit where 614 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm aiming. There are times where I will choose to 615 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: use the method where I just hold on one side 616 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: or the other. So a good way to figure that 617 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: out to shoot in the wind, shoot at a target, 618 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: aim at the center, see how much it drifted over, 619 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: then just hold the opposite direction into the wind shoot. 620 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: It's good to understand that as well as canting the bow, 621 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: because you need to understand how much the wind is 622 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: going to push your arrow, and by doing that, you're 623 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot, a lot more successful. So now 624 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: let's ump to the last one and the one that 625 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: really got me this last week, and that's noise. This 626 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: is something you can do at home and throughout your 627 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: practice or throughout while you're practicing, understanding where different noises 628 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: are coming from. And you want to do this by 629 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: kind of getting your hunting set up set up. So, 630 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: like I said, you know, I normally use fixed blades, 631 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: but I decided to try some mechanical broadheads and they 632 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: I actually couldn't stick them in my quiver fully, so 633 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: they were in there kind of shaking around, rattling around. 634 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: You know. That's something that I knew about, but I 635 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily think would be as big of a deal 636 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: until I took it into the field and was like, Okay, 637 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: things are actually a lot louder then I was expecting. 638 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of I don't even know what 639 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: they call it. It's like mole skin, you know, stuff 640 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: you put over like a blister or whatever they've got it. 641 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: For bows, it's just sound dampening tape. It's like fuzzy tape. 642 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: I know it's super old school, but I live by 643 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. I cover everything I can in it. I 644 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: cover my stabilizer in it. I try to find things 645 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: like where my dropway rest drops down. I'll put some 646 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: of that felt stuff. I put it all along the 647 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: riser on the shelf where the arrow might rest when 648 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm sneaking around. Just anything to take a little bit 649 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: of a ting out to put it around any kind 650 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: of moving part when not like a mechanical moving part 651 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: that will affect the operation, but something that might release sound. 652 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: And I found that it does dampen the noise a lot. 653 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: There's other things you could do. Um. It's kind of 654 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: old school, and I do it for my traditional gears, 655 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: like string dampeners, like these little I don't know, whisker 656 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: looking things on guy's bows, or like a tuft of beaver. 657 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: I actually used to use that a lot, like a 658 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: like a ball of like beaver hair. UM, different stuff 659 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: on the string to kind of silence the string. For 660 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: most bows, there are like these rubber string silencers. Some 661 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: bows come with them now actually a lot of bows 662 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: come with some kind of thing to help dampen the noise. 663 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: But it's one thing that you definitely want to consider 664 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: and try to do it before you get out in 665 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: the field as you're practicing. If something see is loud 666 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: and it's hard to say, well, what's loud. I mean, 667 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: I've got one bow that I kind of thought was loud, 668 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: and yet I've never had anything jump with it. So 669 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: it's just a certain frequency that they were okay with um. 670 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: But generally, what I like to do is go through 671 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: my gear as things, the things that I know will 672 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: make noise, I start to tape over and even make 673 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: some personal adjustments on stuff. I know there's some drop 674 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: away the rest that I've just taken the bottom or 675 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: the top kind of like cage if you will, out 676 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: of there, because it's like it doesn't necessarily affect the 677 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: function of it, maybe protects it a little bit, but 678 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, in the drop away drops and hits something 679 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: that I like try to prevent that, or I like 680 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: to put this noise dampening tape around a lot of 681 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: different parts that might emit sound at some point. So 682 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: that's something really good to consider because one I would say, 683 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: if I'm thinking about it, ninety percent of the times 684 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: that I've either missed a deer or didn't hit exactly 685 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: where I wanted is because the animal jumped the string. 686 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: And maybe later on in a future podcast we should 687 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: really talk about anticipating the jump and some of the 688 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: strategy behind knowing where to aim and when to aim 689 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: off and things like that. But most of that comes from, 690 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, if you sneak in, everything is unnoticed, the 691 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: animal hearing that sound and then reacting to that arrow 692 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: coming their way. It doesn't matter how fast your bow 693 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: is at considerable distance. At some distance, they can definitely 694 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: move enough to make your shot a good shot a 695 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: bad shot, And that's really nothing you can control, but 696 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: it is things you control by quieting down your setup 697 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: and making sure that everything that might make a loud 698 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: noise or a noise that sends the animal running can 699 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: be damp into where they don't notice it or they 700 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: don't make as big a reaction as fast. I just 701 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: want to thank everybody again for listening and all the 702 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: great feedback. So many, so many people pumped on this 703 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of format of just kind of breaking down what 704 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: you need to get ready for archery, especially early in 705 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: the season.
