It's always a nice drive 7 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: over here and beautiful. And some of the parts of 8 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Idaho I have to drive through from from the Boise 9 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: area to get here, it's not real beautiful. But the 10 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: moon it looks like the face of the moon. Yeah, 11 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: but once you hit that pass, I. 12 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: Think that's where they filmed it actually, yeah, the moonlight landing. 13 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: Because you know, it's funny that I can't make a 14 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: phone call, but yet we were able to call the moon. 15 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 16 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: In sixty nine, I want to go back to the landlines. 17 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well yeah, I don't know theories. I mean, 18 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: it's out there. So what do they call that pass 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: that I come over between sam And, Idaho and Darby, Montana. 20 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: I think that I don't know if that's well, it's 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: Chief Chief Joseph is up there on the top and 22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: that's the ski resort. Okay, so I think it's Chief 23 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: Joseph Pass. 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it could be anyway. It's beautiful, yeah, right 25 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: at the right at the base when you start climbing 26 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: up that hill the pass, and then once you get 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: into Montana, it's just beautiful. Even go by the Yellowstone Random. 28 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: I had to giggle a little bit to myself because 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: they've got these orange well I think they're lime green cones. Yeah, 30 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: Jason Phelps would love those. He loves lime green. One 31 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: up on and went home and get a couple of those, 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: will make bugles out of them. 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: You get to watch that guy. 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: But anyhow, they have these cones set up and the 35 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: sign that says no parking, no stopping, and there's like 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: a little pop up tent and a car sitting there 37 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: with it like a security person. Yeah, it's a big deal. 38 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: And I've driven by there several times since Yellowstone the 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 1: TV series, in case you didn't know what I was referencing, 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: And they film it right there, you know, John Dutton's house, 41 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: and there's always some LOOKI lose, you know, stop it 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: and looking at it. But this is the first time 43 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: I've seen the barriers of it. 44 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, they've had them up for quite a long time. 45 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: But people don't care. They still just stop anyways. And 46 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: actually the neighbor's property they have a beautiful gate now 47 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: also because Yellowstone had to actually pay for that, apparently 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: because people were driving down their driveway to then get 49 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: pictures of the ranch. Yellowstone people are crazy. Yeah, it's 50 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: a TV show for credit aloud. Yeah, but it's interesting 51 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: and it brings uh, it depends if you're from Montana. 52 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: It brings a lot of people to Montana that didn't 53 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: they didn't want here. I don't know that. The people 54 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: have always been pretty polite. I've liked it, and brings 55 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 2: a lot of money into the into the valley, which 56 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: has been good. Yeah. 57 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well what I'm doing here in Florence, Montana. You 58 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: may not know this, but Corey has like a basic 59 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: full fledged archery pro shop and range in his basement's 60 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: house and he was setting up my new dart dartin 61 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: sequel thirty three.

And I feel like, 68 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: if you don't know Corey, he used to have Triple 69 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: X Archery, the former archery shop owner. And what part 70 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: of Oregon that or excuse me. 71 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: Washington, Oregon. Yeah, so I lived in Washington, but we 72 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: put the shop in Oregon, right on the Columbia River 73 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: there and Rainier, Oregon, and we did that one for 74 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: sales purposes, sales tax. Oregon didn't have sales tax, so yeah, 75 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: so we I did that for gosh, it's been I 76 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: think it was sixteen seventeen years somewhere in there. I 77 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: used to do all Jason's work when I lived there, 78 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: and Jason and I haunted a lot of the same 79 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: territories and got to know each other real well and 80 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: became good friends and did a lot of bow work 81 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: for him. And Ryan Lamperts was from that area. A 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: lot of the guys have all escaped and moved to 83 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: Montana so or Idaho. Uh.

I hope he's listening to this podcast 86 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: because I harassed him about it a lot, a lot, 87 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: because he's you'll start complaining about you know, Washington and 88 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: this and that, and I'm like, you know, you can 89 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: fix that. Yeah, you could move to like some other 90 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: states that are much much better for a hunter or sportsman. 91 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: Just in life in general. I mean, my my Mie 92 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 2: Tress level I think is so much better. And you know, 93 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: the people are friendly, the weather, I'm so I don't 94 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: miss the rain from the Northwest. I don't miss the traffic, 95 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: I don't miss the politics of of of it. Everything 96 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: just seems easier, nicer, you know, as far as mentally 97 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: being happy, and and there's there's just a ton of 98 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: stuff to do outside. Definitely don't watch near there's much 99 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: TV and and the hunting is definitely about us. Yeah, 100 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: because we we have everything.

Yeah, we got turkeys. I didn't have 103 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: really a lot of that or any of that, you 104 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: know where I lived in Oregon and Washington. So yeah, 105 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: there's there's all kinds of you know, you can get 106 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: bear tags antelope and matter of fact, antelopes just starting 107 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: to open up, and I'm gonna probably head over tomorrow 108 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: and see if I can't get an antelope. Yeah, it's 109 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: it's just a game rich environment. And the one thing 110 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 2: that for Montana that I love and I don't know 111 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: how long we'll be able to keep it, is we 112 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: don't choose a weapon, and and coming from Oregon and 113 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Washington and watching hunters fight against hunters, that's one thing 114 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: that we don't really see here. I mean, we're all hunters. 115 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 2: And if you want to bow hunt, your bow hunt. 116 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: If you want a rifle, your rifle, and if you 117 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: want to hunt that season, you just hunt that season. 118 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: And so it's been really really nice for that. I 119 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: haven't still haven't rifle on. It's just for me. That's 120 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: a busy time of year and it's still just just 121 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: not my passion, like like the bow hunting side. 122 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: Sure sure, Well, as a former shop owner, you probably 123 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: saw some funny, funny things come through the door, you know, 124 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: bo mishaps, people going going a field, elk hunting and 125 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: then you know first two or three days afield or 126 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: maybe you know, hunting for a week or so and 127 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: having a malfunction or something go wrong. You know, whatever 128 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: can go wrong, it seems like will go wrong. And 129 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: so I kind of want to talk about some of 130 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: the things that you know before we head outlets. This 131 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: podcast is going to air August twenty ninth, so it's 132 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: almost almost time, almost too late, But man, if you 133 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: could give some of our listeners some good feedback on 134 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: some things to know before you go check this stuff 135 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: on your bow, because. 136 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the big thing is is as you 137 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: get closer to season, the time frames to get things 138 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: fixed gets so much longer. Everybody's backed up, you know, 139 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: from getting bow strings, just getting bows tuned. A lot 140 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: of times the shelves might be empty, you might not 141 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: get the choice of a broadhead or an arrow that 142 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: you want. So try and get everything done earlier as 143 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: far as getting stuff prepared, and then as far as 144 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: like a checklist of things to do as we get 145 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: into that final stages. Hopefully, the strings and cables are 146 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: probably the most important thing, and that's the one thing 147 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: that you want to get done early as possible because 148 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: you want those to be set in. You want your 149 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 2: peep to be done. You want any kind of rotation, 150 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: any kind of settling of a string. You want that 151 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: all take care of months before season. Once you do 152 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: that and you've got your bow in time, you've got 153 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: your sights all set, you know, marking, marking stuff like 154 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: marketing your limb bolts to make sure that the limb 155 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 2: bolts aren't backing out, marketing anything that can move market 156 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 2: with a paint pen. So if something starts acting up, 157 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: you can start making some visual checks real quick and easy. 158 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 2: Double check in your you know, I really like to 159 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: kind of just hang on to the bow and hit 160 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: the side of the riser a little bit and just 161 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: listen for some vibration, listen for anything rattling, and then 162 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: double check all your your Allen's and all your bolts 163 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: and stuff like on your site and stuff. But you 164 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: need to have that stuff done ahead of time and 165 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: to avoid, like you said, some mishaps, and some of 166 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 2: the ones Dosey drove me up the wall was you know, 167 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: guys would come in and they'd try fire to bow 168 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, how'd that's happen. I'm like, well, 169 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 2: I got up in the morning and I wanted to 170 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: see if my peep was going to turn, and I'm like, well, 171 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: has it not been turning. And if it hadn't been turning, 172 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: then why didn't we address this weeks ago? 173 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: Number one? 174 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: And why all of a sudden do you think it 175 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't And why didn't you put an arrow in it 176 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: when you drew it back? It just baffled me. So, 177 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: you know, they drive fire a bow, and at that 178 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: time of the year, I mean you could it could 179 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: be whether or not you get a hunt or you 180 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: have to buy a new bow because you know, trying 181 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: to get cams or limbs or strings in a timely 182 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: fashion at that time of years pretty unheard of. 183 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty tough. I've even you know, I gave 184 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: one of my old bows that I had to my 185 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: son law and it had the kind of cams that 186 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: they weren't adjustable for drawing, so we hadn't wear new cams. 187 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: And shoot, man, we've waited a month and a half, 188 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: two months, and he did this in the springtime, you know, 189 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: so we had plenty of time to get get it 190 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: set up. But still, I mean, the lead times can 191 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: be long, yeah, just just the way it is. And 192 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: then shop times, you know, that's a busy time of 193 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: year for the shop. That seems like the procrastinators all 194 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: crowd in and it's you're gonna have to wait until 195 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: your bows and line and gets is able to get work. 196 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, just just kind of you know, 197 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 2: listening for anything that moves. And I one of my 198 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: big things that I do, like I get everything done 199 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: like early. So everything's done now and now that I'm 200 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: going to go handle the punting. But it's not going 201 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: to change. Nothing's going to change from my antelope set 202 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: up to my elk set up. But I'm I'm dialed 203 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 2: and I'm done. And when I say I'm done means 204 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: like I'll very rarely from now till September shoot my bow, 205 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: in which it isn't that time a long time. I 206 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: mean we're realistically a couple of weeks before opener here. 207 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: And I say that because every time we shoot a bow, 208 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: we're taking the chance of something coming loose, something moving, 209 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 2: something going wrong. And the thought process of me having 210 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: to practice should have been done months ago. Like I 211 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: didn't forget how to shoot a bow. I don't need 212 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: to be reminded every day on how to shoot a bow. 213 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: If I'm worried about stamina. I mean, let's be real, 214 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 2: how many times you're gonna shoot during the season, if 215 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: they're seating enough to get tired, let me know where 216 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 2: you're at. Typically you're only going to shoot that bow 217 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: a couple of times during the season. So that part 218 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 2: of it, like I just get my bow set on 219 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: and I'm done shooting it because I don't want to 220 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: take the chance of something moving. And then the other 221 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: big advice is don't you leave your car and your 222 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: your bow in the car this time of. 223 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: Year, oh yeah, because that'll make your strings stretch. 224 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: Well a lot of times it destroys the limb. 225 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. 226 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: Limb failures. A lot of limb failures are all due 227 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: to excessive heat to a car. So the strings, you know, 228 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: it's not a big deal. They could stretch. You can 229 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: usually kind of twist that back up, but it just 230 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: melts the laments and the glues and the resins in 231 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: a limb, and in a way they go, yeah, that's. 232 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: A pretty and opportunity. Time to have a limb failure 233 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: is right when you're trying to go hunt. 234 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: And that's the always the challenge. You know, when I 235 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: lived in Oregon and I would go out to Idaho 236 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: or Montana, you know, travel for for haunts, you know, 237 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: like how do I bring a backup bow? And for 238 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 2: me it was like what do I do with my 239 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 2: backup bow? 240 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: Right? 241 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? I can't? Yeah, and then then what it's not 242 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: really going to be a backup bow if I needed 243 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: it so anymore, I you know, I never did, but 244 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: I hunted with a hunt partner that we were pretty 245 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: much identical in what little bit we would change. You know, 246 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: it was, hey, if it was my bow that broke 247 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: or something happened, you know, he would be number one 248 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: shooter all the way up until he was successful, and 249 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: then we would make any kind of adjustments that we needed, 250 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: and then I would hunt with that bow. Right. But 251 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: now everybody gets out That's why I don't hunt with 252 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: Jason Phelps because trawling's a little too long. 253 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's even too long for me.

Okay, Well that's not it 335 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: coming from the site? Grab the limb pocket area. Does 336 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: it go there? Grab grab a hold of the cam 337 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: and hit it. So you can you can start finding 338 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 2: where that vibrations coming from from elimination. But a lot 339 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 2: of times, a lot of times it's coming out of 340 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: the Usually the most common is going to be the 341 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: site and the cam mods will come loose. 342 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: One time, opening morning Archery Elkin, Oregon. I lived in 343 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: Orgon at the time and drove, like, I don't know, 344 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: two hours from my house up in the mountains. I 345 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: got up there, stayed the night, got up the next morning, 346 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: and I thought, it's pretty bumpy road going up there. 347 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I don't know, I better shoot 348 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: my bow before I leave camp here. I'm gonna shoot 349 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: at one time and just verify and pull my bow 350 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: back and I shoot and I barely hit the target. Well, 351 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: I don't know when this happened because I'd been shooting 352 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: it quite a bit all summer. 353 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: But. 354 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the heck, I barely hit the target. 355 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: So I start looking, you know, I'm like looking at 356 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: my string and my rest and my side pins. That's 357 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: an obvious place to kind of look and see if 358 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: there's something off. Everything looked kind of right there, and 359 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: so I'm looking at limbs, I'm looking at cams, and 360 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: then finally in my top cam. This was a single 361 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: cambo and the top the top wheel was cocked over 362 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: like the bearings had gone out in that wheel at 363 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: some point when I hadn't noticed between the last time 364 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: I shot a week or two ago and then to 365 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: where I got out there. So at that point I 366 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: was dead in the water. And this was like Labor 367 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: Day weekend, and now I'm trying to scramble. And I 368 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: lived in a pearl, pretty rural town, you know, so Enterprise, Oregon. 369 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: That's the middle of nowhere, and there's no archery pro 370 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: shops there. The closest ones were in La Grand, Oregon. 371 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: They were all closed for the big weekend. So I'm 372 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: just like I got this other big elkhunt out of state. 373 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: Elk hunt back in Idaho in like eight days and 374 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: I need to get a bow and get it set 375 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: up and dialed. So I ended up having to order 376 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: one online because nobody'd pick up a phone and I'm 377 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: just like, I got. 378 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 2: To do something. 379 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: So I ordered something online and put my rest on 380 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: it and got it all set up myself. But but yeah, 381 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: it's like those fluke things you can be, really can 382 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: can be, can really come out of nowhere. 383 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: At Yeah, as far as like one thing, like on 384 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: your accessories and a lot of the I think the 385 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: accessories nowadays there it's a lot more common. But but 386 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: having micro adjusting arrow rest and micro adjusting sites on 387 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: your what we call gain adjustments to remember like the 388 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: like a site like a black Gold you had a 389 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 2: dovetail mount that you would loosen and you would slide 390 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: your whole site housing up and down in that. And 391 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: then they started coming out with a micro adjustment. So 392 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: now I can loosen the nut and then I can 393 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: dial that housing up and down. 394 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: Click click click. 395 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: And the biggest wasn't so much the fine tuning of 396 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 2: that that I liked is that if that comes loose, 397 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: it vibrates noise, It doesn't slide down, It can't move 398 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: until that dial keeps gear driving that so if it 399 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 2: comes loose, it's a quick easy, Oh that's loose. I 400 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: can hear it vibrate and I can tighten it and 401 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 2: nothing's moved. It's the same thing with your arrest if 402 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 2: that comes loose, instead of it vibrating and starting to 403 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: slowly drop down lower and lower. Next thing, you know, 404 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: you're missing the target because you're shooting them in the dirt. 405 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 2: If that comes loose, it may sag down a little bit, 406 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 2: but it's not moving from its original spot. So then 407 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: when you go to tighten it, everything should be back 408 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 2: to where it was. So maybe something to kind of 409 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 2: think about when you are picking out some of your 410 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: accessories to see whether or not it has a microadjusting 411 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 2: gain adjustments on those to help if those were to 412 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: come loose, that they're not going to move off of 413 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: those spots. 414 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: Now, shooting your bow from time to time or regular 415 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: regular regularly, yeah, that's often often. Often you may like 416 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: there may be some subtle changes that happen in your 417 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: bow's performance. You may not pick up until maybe you 418 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: shoot a different bow of the same kind and you're like, 419 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: oh wow, man, like for the timing your cams for instance, 420 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you kind of get in your 421 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: rhythm of shooting that thing and that that will kind 422 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: of creep up on you. So checking the timing on 423 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: your cams, you know, especially with broadheads going to field, 424 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: that that's probably gonna make your your broadheads fly weird. 425 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and that's where, uh, you can take 426 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: a paint pan again and mark your cams or they 427 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: line up like across the limb, so you've got a 428 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: good reference mark. But that is, like you say, the timing, 429 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: and even most cams have those marks and those are 430 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 2: sink marks, they're not timing marks. And so a lot 431 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: of people are like, oh, it's it's out of time 432 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: because these aren't perfect, and it's like, that's not that's 433 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 2: just the orientation of where that cam needs to start, 434 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 2: and that will dictate your poundage of your limb and 435 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 2: your drawlings. So if your cables stretched, then your poundage 436 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 2: is going to go down. If your bow string stretches, 437 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 2: your poundage is going to go up. So a lot 438 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: of times guys are like, oh man, my string stretch, 439 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: I lost some poundage. It's hitting sixty eight pounds. Well, 440 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 2: it's your cables. That's stretch, not your bow string. So 441 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: if and that's where that that kind of comes in. 442 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: You can sometimes see that, but it's very subtle. I mean, 443 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: you on those sync marks. All your timing is always 444 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 2: need to be done in a drawboard at full draw 445 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: on getting your posts to hit the cable or the limb, 446 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: depending on what cam you have at the same time. 447 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: At full draw. Everything else is just a starting point 448 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: of the cam. But it's a good reference for you know, 449 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 2: by doing the paint pins or anything like that. If 450 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: things things are starting to go, it gives you, like 451 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 2: I say, it's just a quick visual of, you know, 452 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: something to look at. Now if you notice that, man, 453 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: there's a holy crowd. You know, this thing's not even 454 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: remotely close. Nine times out of ten that string is breaking. 455 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: If it's moved enough to where you're like really noticing it, 456 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 2: there's probably strands broken underneath your serving and and it's 457 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,239 Speaker 2: a good telltale sign that you better not shoot that again. Uh, 458 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 2: take it to a shop. Have somebody really look at 459 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: those strings cables. But a lot of times things can 460 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: break underneath servings and we just don't know it until 461 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: it's too late. But it will kind of get stretched 462 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: out a little bit and start moving the orientation of 463 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: a cam tiny and if it's if it's you know, 464 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 2: a typical bow, you you'll start to feel. If it's 465 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: just one cable, you'll definitely start to feel it kind 466 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: of get a bumpity bump on the back end when 467 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: it hits the stops. 468 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's really good. I ever even thought of that. 469 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if the mice 470 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: can pick this up. But but your dog is that 471 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: an English English bulldog? 472 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: We've got an English and a French now and I 473 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: don't know which one. I don't know which one's the 474 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: snort today, they're both. They were playing all all morning, 475 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: so they're they're tuckered out. 476 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: So another thing that some people may or may not 477 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: even be aware of is like their third axes on 478 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: their boat. So if you're shooting it on a flat, 479 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: flat backyard or flat range, you don't really notice that 480 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: kind of a third access too much. But when you 481 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: start shooting steep uphill, steep downhill, that's going to make 482 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: your hero drift left or right. So what can people 483 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: do to kind of kind of do a quick check 484 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: at home to see if their third access is out 485 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: because some of us just don't live where it's easy 486 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: to make a steep shot, or yeah, we don't want 487 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: to climb up on the roof. 488 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say that the part, Yeah 489 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: you can get up on the roof, but I'm not 490 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: going to tell you to do that. That's true. 491 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: I've done it, trying to trying to like. 492 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 2: Because then in all it's like while you're up there, 493 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: clean the gutters. So yeah, you know, trying to get 494 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: out to a range or or yeah, it's kind of 495 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: difficult if you if you're from flat, flat ground where 496 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: you don't have any hills, But yeah, the best way 497 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 2: is to always if you can get out and shoot 498 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: it in, you know, and it will it will be 499 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 2: you know, it's either going to shoot to the left 500 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: on downhill and to the right uphill. It's if it's 501 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: shooting both, then it's probably not a third axis deal. 502 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: So they will run opposite when that third axis is 503 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 2: is off. But the other the one thing with third 504 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: axis that I feel like people think that just because 505 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: they supposedly got their third access set that they won't 506 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: miss things left and right on uphill and downhill and 507 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: the The key to that is is that level is 508 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: a is a is it's a reference mark or it's 509 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: a guide for you. And the good archers will read 510 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: the terrain. Target archers will read terrain like a golfer 511 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: will read a green on the lay of the land, 512 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: the grass, the slope, the moisture in the grass, all 513 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 2: these different things of what it's going to cause that 514 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: ball to do. And so a really good target archer 515 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: will also read the terrain. The lighting. Lighting coming into 516 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: your people will make you shoot left and right. And 517 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: then just because it's downhill and on the side hill 518 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you can still just shoot that straight 519 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: up level. So you can still have a downhill, a 520 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: slight side hill downhill. And then also introduce some wind 521 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: drift into that too. So there's two things you can do. 522 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 2: You can start aiming off or you can take your 523 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: top cam push it into the into the wind, or 524 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: push it into the hill. And this is one thing 525 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 2: that I do recommend people to practice and understand how 526 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: much does that move my arrow at distances say forty 527 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: or fifty yards and take your bow, shoot it straight 528 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: up level boom, I'm shoot in the middle of the 529 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: of the dot. Now I'm going to go a whole 530 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: half a bubble over so you'll can't the bull can't 531 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: the bow and see where it impacts. How much is 532 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 2: it two inches? Is it three inches? And that way 533 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: a good like I say, a good archer can can 534 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: look at the terrain and say, man, this arrow is 535 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 2: going to naturally want to go even further downhill, and 536 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 2: so I'm going to give it some bubble. I'm going 537 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 2: to not just shoot it straight up because it's still 538 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: going to go down there. So just because your third 539 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: ACXISS is set, doesn't mean you shoot every shot with 540 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 2: a level. 541 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: Man, I'm really sad you told me all this because 542 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: now I'm gonna have to rethink everything. So I guess 543 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: some work to do well. 544 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: And the thing typically, if you had a hill coming 545 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: from your your right to to your left, you know, 546 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: say a downhill and it's a side hill, if you 547 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 2: push that camp into the top of that into the 548 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: into the top hill, even if you didn't need to, 549 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 2: it's probably not going to go uphill much, maybe a 550 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: half an inch or something. But now if you let 551 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: that bow sag a little bit to the downhill side, 552 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: that air is probably gonna miss by two or three 553 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: inches now, because it's naturally wanting to go that direction. 554 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: So once that bow fire is is going to go. 555 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: So if you're in doubt, just give it a little 556 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: bit to that that hill. And that's the beautiful thing 557 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: with target archery as far as versus three D is 558 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 2: that you can really learn a lot more because you 559 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: have to shoot multiple shots. And so when you come 560 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: up to a target and you can glass and look 561 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: at majority of arrow holes and say, well, this target, 562 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: a lot of arrow holes are on the left edge 563 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 2: of the dot and there's a reason. And now you're 564 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 2: going to figure out what that reason is. Is it 565 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: the lighting or is it the terrain the side hill? 566 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: And so when you shoot that first one straight up 567 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: and it goes out to the left with everybody else's 568 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: arrow holes, you go, I got to I'm give this 569 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: thing a little bubble and push into it and see 570 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: where that arrow goes. So you can start really learning. 571 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: So when it doesn't you don't have to overthink. Those 572 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: shots will be just you'll just when you do it enough, 573 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: you just see the terrain and say, yeah, this is 574 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 2: this is my shot set up on this I'm going 575 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: to push into this hill or push into the wind. Yeah, 576 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 2: you'll get that good instinct because if you've got a 577 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 2: left right wind too, you know, so I can, like 578 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 2: I say, I can either aim off or I can bubble. 579 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: I don't like aiming off. 580 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. 581 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: I aim for a reason. I like looking at what 582 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: I'm trying to hit, and so I'd rather give my 583 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: my bow a little bit of bubble. 584 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: So can't your top wheel into. 585 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: The wind, into the wind, into the hill? 586 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never heard that before. That's great. And see 587 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm learning all sorts of stuff here. 588 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: This is this is great and like I say, these 589 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: are things that you want to go home and play, 590 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: play with and practice so you can and not blame, 591 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: you know. And there's just going to be some targets. 592 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 2: So that's right. Like guys will go, oh man, yeah, 593 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: I was missing some stuff left and right and my 594 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: third access is off. Maybe it could be a combination 595 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: of both that you just need to give it more, 596 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: even though you know there's some wind and it's going 597 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: to push the arrow and there's a lot more sight 598 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: hill than you thought, or the lighting coming in from 599 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 2: left to right and change the image of a bit 600 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 2: on the peep That's why the lot of the peach 601 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 2: are getting in a lot better too, with the baffles 602 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 2: in them. Like the Hamski pet that you've got that 603 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: really helps with some of that that lighting issues that 604 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: cause some left and right issues. 605 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: Kind of like a sunshade rifle scope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 606 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: this information would have been valuable the other days at 607 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: the range and the wind was blowing hardness and I 608 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: was shooting uphill and whatever else and and and some 609 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: steep angles, and I was like, man, I don't know 610 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: if this this uh this third axis is right or 611 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: if it's the wind or it could have been the lighting. 612 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot to it. You know. Let's 613 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: say you cited Okay, I have a question. So if 614 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: you sit in your bow at an indoor range and 615 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: then you go out on the field in the field 616 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: wherever and lighting is obviously different, are you gonna see 617 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: any different arrow un pacts there is this? 618 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can definitely, it's the same thing. Like you 619 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 2: know where I shoot here, mine's front to back my son, 620 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 2: so I don't really see a lot of that. I'll 621 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: get wind drift, you know, A certain times I got 622 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 2: more wind than others. So for me getting my my 623 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 2: windy set sometimes is a chore because I'm like, am 624 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 2: I really tightening in for the wind or is it 625 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 2: really calm enough that I'm not getting any wind drift? 626 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: But so if you you could have a range that 627 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 2: your sun sets and rises are on your left and right, 628 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: and say you you've always shot your bow first thing 629 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 2: in the morning, and you've got your windage set, and 630 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: then you go out and I'm like, ah, davenan, I'm 631 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and shoot samarrows tonight, and all of 632 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 2: a sudden you're shooting off the other side. And that 633 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 2: can just definitely be from the now the sun's coming 634 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: through your peep on a different angle than it was 635 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: in the mornings that you've always sighted in. 636 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense because I've seen little 637 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: weird things like that, and then shoot it the next 638 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: day at a different time and say, I'm glad I 639 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: didn't move my sight because now I'm back on So yeah, man, 640 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: you're really messing with my head. More rabbit holes to 641 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: go down right well, And I think it just kind 642 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: of goes to show too. 643 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 2: Is like. 644 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: Practicing in weird places compared to your backyard is so 645 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: important for hunting. Situations because people, you know, I could 646 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: shoot eighty yards or one hundred yards is like a champ. 647 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: But you get into a different lighting scenario, you get 648 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: into a different hillside, All these different things come to 649 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: a different play and if you're shooting longer, longer range, 650 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: all that stuff amplifies, Right. So, man, just knowing those 651 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: things and knowing how close to keep your shots is 652 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: probably going to be different in the field versus in 653 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: your backyard or your local range. 654 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm nervous, but yet still excited. I guess for 655 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 2: my tag for Montana Elk because I haven't shot an 656 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 2: elk over forty yards in years. Yeah, and I have 657 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 2: no desire to. But yet I'm not sure what the 658 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 2: terrain is going to be in store for me over there. 659 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 2: And I really just hope I don't have to have 660 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 2: to make a decision on any of that, because I 661 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 2: just there's just so much stuff to go wrong, and 662 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 2: and I feel like I'm a good archer, but there's 663 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 2: just still so many variables that come into play, and 664 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: it doesn't everything gets magnified with the broad head, right. 665 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 2: So the slightest mistake in my form, the slightest mistake 666 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 2: in my anything of that shot process gets magnified by 667 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: that broadhead and then you take the animal movement on 668 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: top of it, and yeah, it's just it's a tough situation. 669 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 2: Nobody plans on shooting bad. But you know, I alsually 670 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 2: try to reinforce myself of if the voice inside my 671 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 2: head is in any doubt, I'm not going to do it. 672 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a good that's a good method to do. 673 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: I feel like inside your head it's like, oh man, 674 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: I hope I don't miss this shot. Or if it's 675 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: like you don't even hear that, everything's just good, feels good. 676 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: You just have to think about it. You release a 677 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: really good arrow, felt good. Those are usually the times 678 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: that you know it's it's gonna be a great shot. Yeah, 679 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: what about d loops? Learn how to learn how to 680 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: tie a D loop? I know earlier when you were 681 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: tying in my D loop and you're kind of giving 682 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: me some lowdown about these little soft knots or whatever 683 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: you call them. I'm not sure you call them, but 684 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,720 Speaker 1: they're like once you once you get your your knock 685 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: on the string and you're setting everything and and you 686 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: put these little placeholder knots before you put on it. 687 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of shops will always pretty much 688 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 2: always shoot at least a bottom tie in knot, and 689 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: if you're gonna do one, at least do that. And 690 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 2: in the video of the setup on yours, probably a 691 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 2: lot going to be a lot easier for the people 692 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 2: to understand what we're talking about here. But it changes 693 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 2: the pressure on the arrow at full draw on when 694 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 2: you put knocks below the knock of the arrow and 695 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 2: spread that gap. But it gives you a reference mark, 696 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 2: especially as a hunter, of knowing like, hey man, my 697 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 2: D loop's bad, I've got material, I know how to 698 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 2: tie a D loop. I'm not worried about replacing this 699 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 2: in the field or even taking it to a shop 700 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 2: and having them do it. Those tied in knots stay there, 701 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 2: so when you cut that D loop off, you're not 702 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 2: redoing the tune of the bow. You're just going to 703 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 2: go ahead and tie on a new D loop and 704 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 2: everything should be good to go there. Sometimes there can 705 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 2: be slight slight slight chain you change one thing, it 706 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 2: seems like it changes everything, but typically on that it's 707 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 2: it's going to be a minute, and usually it's going 708 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 2: to be just a little gain adjustment on the site, 709 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 2: whether not be a left to right or an up 710 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 2: and down, but it would be a minute movement to it. 711 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: So how much frame on a D loop would you 712 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: say you should probably change that out? 713 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: Well, first off, if you're getting fraying on a D 714 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 2: loop in less than a year, honestly, you've probably got 715 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 2: a burr or a pinch point in your release. There's 716 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 2: guys that are like, man, I just put this on 717 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 2: two weeks ago, there's definitely something wrong with your release. 718 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,720 Speaker 2: You know, if you're seeing fuzzing where there's something going 719 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 2: on and it may not just it may not be 720 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: anything you can fix. It can just be honestly a 721 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 2: bad design in a release. We see a little bit 722 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 2: more of it with Caliber releases because you do have 723 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 2: a pinch point with a style that has a hook. 724 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 2: It's a lot easier on D loops. But if you 725 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 2: ever see white cord stop stop like twenty shots ago. Yeah, 726 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 2: so yeah that so the lining of the Yeah that 727 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 2: that so when you when you cut D loop material 728 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 2: and you fuzz it out, you'll see that white cord 729 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:32,720 Speaker 2: in there. 730 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:34,399 Speaker 1: It's like the core. 731 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 2: Basically, if you see that stop, immediately replace it. Yes, 732 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 2: don't try to show like, well I got one more, 733 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 2: I got one more. 734 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,879 Speaker 1: I can kill an elk with this. Yeah. 735 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 2: No, Now, now if it was if I didn't have 736 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,959 Speaker 2: any material and I wasn't you know, and there again, 737 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 2: this is like I said, going back to like I 738 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 2: don't shoot my bow because more and more things can 739 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 2: go wrong. But if I was out in the wilderness 740 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 2: and I the bow shop was five hours away and 741 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 2: I didn't have delap material, you're you're at the mercy. 742 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 2: You're you're going to have to trust it. But it's 743 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 2: usually a no go. You're probably gonna punch yourself in 744 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 2: the face. So yeah, so yeah, you shouldn't see. I mean, 745 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 2: a d loop should last as long as the stream 746 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 2: will last, and it can last for years. Yeah, if 747 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 2: you've got a good release on there, so yeah, and 748 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 2: it's it's it's cheap, it's easy. So if you are 749 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 2: getting some stuff and replace it, don't take the chance. 750 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's good. Good. And so do you have 751 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: two releases when you go hunting? You have? 752 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 2: Yeah? 753 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: Usually I do one in your pack and one Yeah. 754 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 2: I usually will have. And that's one thing too, is 755 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 2: you know, in less you're shooting in the exact same release. 756 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 2: Double check those releases. If you have a caliber release 757 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 2: and a handheld release, your anchor points and your stuff 758 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 2: will slightly be off. But as long as you center 759 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 2: your peep in your housing, you're you're going to be 760 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 2: fine as far as a lot of your elevation stuff. 761 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 2: But if you have a caliber that swings from left 762 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 2: to right, the other one swings right to left, your 763 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 2: impact left and rights will be different. So you want 764 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 2: to double check if you're shooting a different style or 765 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 2: a different release. So there's a lot of guys that 766 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 2: buy a like a cheaper handheld or buy a handheld 767 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 2: release and then say, man, I really this new one 768 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 2: came out and they go buy a new one and 769 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 2: they have that one as a backup. Make sure you 770 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 2: shoot both of those because they can shoot differently on impact. 771 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: I notice I have the same release, I use a 772 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: wrist trap release or whatever. But then they're the same kind, 773 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: but one has a different wrist trap than the other one, 774 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: and one doesn't have quite the same amount of adjustment 775 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: front of you know, to lengthen it or shorten it, 776 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: So definitely it's a different feel. So you're going from 777 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: one to the other. So that's something to be cognizant 778 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: of too. It's just like, man, this is. 779 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 2: But having something slightly off is better than not having 780 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 2: anything right. So, you know, and I shoot typically, I 781 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 2: shoot a handheld. I mean a lot of people are 782 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 2: going this direction, and I don't tether it because I 783 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 2: definitely don't want that thing stuck to my hand. So 784 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 2: the chances of me losing that release is high, I 785 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 2: guess significant. So you know, the one thing that I 786 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 2: would recommend people do not clip your handheld release on 787 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 2: your string and walk around with it. 788 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Look, 789 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: I've seen people do that somebody we know, and I'm thinking, 790 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's probably the best thing to do. 791 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,720 Speaker 2: But yeah, whatever, I mean, if you're moving like oh, 792 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 2: I'm going to move from this tree to that tree 793 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 2: type of saying, yeah, it's not a big deal. But 794 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 2: I literally watched people walking around yards, you know, with 795 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 2: that thing on there, and yeah, don't just don't get 796 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 2: into that habit. Yeah, you're really asking to lose a release. 797 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 1: Well, in nineteen ninety four, I made this epic hunt 798 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: where it was a boat hunt. So I had a 799 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: boat and We took the boat forty seven miles up 800 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,839 Speaker 1: this reservoir to where it turned from reservoir lake you know, 801 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: slack water into a river, and we got all the 802 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 1: way up there and it's like, oh, cool, I don't 803 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 1: have my release. Of course, my hunting partner has his, 804 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: So guess who the first shooter is going to be, 805 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,320 Speaker 1: and maybe the until he maybe he screw up or 806 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,280 Speaker 1: kills an out, then I'm kind of at the mercy 807 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: of not having a release, you know, until then. So 808 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 1: uh yeah, that's a pretty pretty good time to have 809 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: that extra release. 810 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the thing that is is that's when you 811 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 2: would want to shoot your bow. If say, say you 812 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 2: lost your handheld in you did have a wrist rocket 813 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 2: in the back or at the truck, then definitely you 814 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 2: know it's going to be typically a windage adjustment, So 815 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 2: shoot it. Yeah, we're two inches to the right, make 816 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 2: that adjustment, get it dialed back in, and you're you're 817 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 2: gonna be good to go. But at least you're you're 818 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 2: back up and hunting. And so that's about the only 819 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 2: time on a big failure would I be out really 820 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 2: shooting my bowt checking anything. 821 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now I've talked about this before on I don't 822 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: know if it's this podcast or another, but I had 823 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: this guy I got to know a few years ago 824 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: and he drew a moose tag in here in Idaho 825 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: and he he's like, I'm gonna shoot it with a bow. 826 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, cool, Yeah, have you killed anything with 827 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: your boat? I've never killed anything with my boat, but 828 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: I think it'd be like the ultimate to shoot this 829 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: moose with a bow. And so once in a lifetime 830 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 1: tag if you harvest. If you don't harvest, then you 831 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: can go back into the drawing. But I've been applying 832 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: for moose for decades and not drawing one. So you know, 833 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: luck smiles on some people, not so not so much 834 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 1: for me. But anyway, I'm like, you really want to, 835 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: Like you're gonna have your rifle for a backup. Oh no, no, 836 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot this with my bow. I'm like, okay, 837 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: right on, cool man. Well, I didn't see him until 838 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: after season was over and I said, hey, did you 839 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 1: get that moose? And he's like, oh, you'll never believe it. 840 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: I've been watching this big moose, this big giant bull 841 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: moose leading up to opening day, and Opening Day comes 842 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 1: and there he is. I go out throw with my 843 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 1: bow and I get I get close and I get 844 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: stuff to shoot, and I shoot and I miss and 845 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: I should again I miss. And He's like, I shot 846 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 1: every arrow in my quiver at this moose and didn't 847 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: hit it. And he just stood there and finally it 848 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: just kind of walked off, because most they're not real 849 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 1: scared a lot of times. And I'm like, what the heck? 850 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, what what do you think could have happened? 851 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, like, had you sided your bowing with 852 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: broadheads obviously before season? 853 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 2: Well? 854 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: No, I mean they they should. They should hit right 855 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 1: where they they're both point field points hit. I'm like, well, 856 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: that's not always the case. You know. Did you have 857 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: your bow tuned before you went? 858 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:41,439 Speaker 2: Well? 859 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: Tone, No, I just you know, I've had this bow forever. 860 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: I just know it shoots. And so I'm like, what 861 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: what kind of arrows were you shooting? He's like, well, 862 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: I had like three or four different kinds. I had 863 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: some that I'd bought, and then my uncle he gave 864 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: me some and and so he had like these mixed 865 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 1: quiver full of arrows. Probably none of them were the 866 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: same way or broadhead style or weight or nothing was 867 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 1: right about this setup. And I'm like, so are you 868 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 1: gonna be able to go out again and try to 869 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: like is your season gonna be any longer than it was? 870 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 1: Or are you done? He's like, I'm done, Like, Wow, 871 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: you just left all that happenstance toll like a once 872 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 1: in a lifetime type of opportunity. I mean, he could 873 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: probably draw a tag again someday, maybe if he's lucky, 874 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 1: But people like. 875 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,479 Speaker 2: That usually get luck. 876 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,479 Speaker 1: They'll probably do the same thing, right. But I feel 877 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: like it's super important to make sure all your arrows 878 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,760 Speaker 1: are the same by him out of the same batch, 879 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: set them up for your for your hunt. All the 880 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: same inserts, all the same knocks, all the same fletchings, 881 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:48,320 Speaker 1: all the same. 882 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's I think that's one thing too that 883 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 2: I think most of us are guilty of just because 884 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 2: of the way the broadheads are. You know, we we 885 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,120 Speaker 2: take for granted that we shot one or two broad 886 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 2: heads out of six broad heads and expect every one 887 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 2: of those to be the same, And uh, it's not. 888 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 2: I've seen some companies that, Yeah, there's just inconsistencies in 889 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 2: the ferals enough to man you got to shoot every 890 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 2: one of them. It's one thing I like about either 891 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,800 Speaker 2: a research sharpable you know, cut on contact type of 892 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 2: head that you can re sharpen. You can definitely shoot 893 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 2: that head, touch it up and you're good, or something 894 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 2: with replacement bleedes. Yeah, and you know, even some of 895 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 2: the mechanicals that come with practice. I mean, we're still 896 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 2: just rolling dice in my opinion of hopefully these do 897 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 2: fly exactly like that. 898 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you're taking a lot of putting a lot 899 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: of faith in their published information. 900 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. The I think that's the biggest, probably 901 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 2: one of the biggest things that we do. And it's 902 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 2: and I don't blame people because you kind of just 903 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 2: assume some of this stuff should be the same and 904 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 2: it's expensive to go through. But shoot every broadhead and 905 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 2: eliminate some of those flyers. But you know, we do 906 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 2: it mainly with arrows. But like I say, everything gets 907 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 2: magnified by a broadhead. 908 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: Right, I know in the past, shooting this one particular 909 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: brand of broadhead, I would. 910 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,760 Speaker 2: You can say it Alan brought it Alan. 911 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 1: Oh, they were slightly better, but they were sharp as 912 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: I'll get out. But I would have to index and 913 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: spin test every single one, but I would have to 914 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: mix and match. I would take a dozen arrows, and 915 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: I'd take nine broad heads, and I would mix and 916 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 1: match heads two half out or insert basically, and then 917 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 1: put it in the arrow. Spin test it. And I 918 00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: always like to line my my blades up with my fletchings. 919 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 1: Whether that's hocus pocus or not, in my mind it 920 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 1: is for me, it is. Everybody else may say no, 921 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: but anyhow, spin test it and watch and see if 922 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: if the if it spins right, if it's like perfectly smooth, 923 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 1: the tip is not going up and down wobbly or whatever. 924 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: But I would have to go through I don't know 925 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: how many different combinations, like, no, it didn't like that 926 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,280 Speaker 1: insert outs ort, whatever you want to call it, didn't 927 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 1: like that one, but paired with this one it worked, 928 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: Or that combination didn't work with that arrow, but it 929 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 1: did with this one. Yeah. And then some of the 930 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: blades would be rattily inside the farrel and some would 931 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 1: be tighter than I'll get out. So then I would 932 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: try to like, okay, I try to mix and match 933 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: until I got all tight, you know, And so I 934 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: might have one oddball that was a little bit loosey goosey, 935 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: that would be like a practice one. But but by 936 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,560 Speaker 1: doing that, like making sure all those fun perfectly, I 937 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: found that, man, they all shot way better than if 938 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: I just screwed them things on and this would take 939 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 1: like three hours. I would spend like three hours doing 940 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: this and it's such a pain in the butt. But 941 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: those I had better consistent groups where you know, they 942 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 1: would shoot consistently better by taking the time and. 943 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 2: Doing that, I think if you're old enough, we all 944 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 2: remember that the first arrow in the quiver was always 945 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 2: the best one, and then the next one was really 946 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 2: pretty good too, and then the next one was it 947 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 2: was okay, And by the time you got to that 948 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 2: sixth arrow, we're back then when we used to carry 949 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,439 Speaker 2: eight arrows and the quipper. You know, those other ones 950 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 2: were just a hope and a prayer, yeah, and be 951 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 2: a grouse arrow. So now you know, broad heads have 952 00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 2: gotten more consistent, arrows have gotten more consistent, spine consistency 953 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 2: across the board of arrows have gotten more consistent. The 954 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 2: weight consistency, and I don't think weight's a huge factor, 955 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 2: especially in an ar row itself. You know, when you 956 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 2: when you measure carbon, because you're realistically measuring dust across 957 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,800 Speaker 2: twenty eight or twenty nine inches. You know, one or 958 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:27,320 Speaker 2: two grains is not a factor of why you're missing things. 959 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 2: But it's a feel good thing, and it's nice to 960 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 2: know that things are as precise as we can get them. 961 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 2: But it's not the end all, and you're definitely gonna 962 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 2: probably find you're gonna find a lot more inconsistencies in 963 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 2: veins and field points in broadheads weights across them than 964 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 2: you probably are in arrows anymore. How much glue did 965 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,319 Speaker 2: you put on, especially even on an insert. Did you 966 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 2: get a little bit on that one and a lot 967 00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 2: on that one? 968 00:54:58,320 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 1: And so? 969 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 2: But spine consistency, I think is the most the most 970 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 2: important part on an arrow. Yeah, and that's not like 971 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 2: spine alignment as much as spine consistency being across the 972 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 2: board of your dozen arrows? Are they because there's always 973 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 2: there's always going to be variances in spine. Say a 974 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 2: three fifty could be a three forty or it could 975 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 2: be a three sixty, and they get labeled as a 976 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: three fifty. So if you have a consistency in a 977 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 2: batch of arrows, that all those arrows are say three 978 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 2: forty five to three fifty. That type of tolerance is 979 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 2: between companies, and a lot of guys don't talk about 980 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 2: that as much as spine alignment, right, and then just 981 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 2: having a good arrow that when you do, if you 982 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 2: if you have access to it like a ram spine 983 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 2: tester where you can put put it on there and 984 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 2: watch the needle and slowly rotate a narrow and watch 985 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 2: where the highs and the lows are very minimal. And 986 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 2: there's some companies that definitely when you rotate it, there 987 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 2: is definitely a seam and it's in a tight a 988 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 2: tight spot like whoa man, she's really the spine is 989 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 2: really super stiff right here, weak down here. But then 990 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 2: you throw in the other part of it, like you say, so, now, 991 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 2: if you if you were to put a three forty 992 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 2: in a three sixty and you fletched them on the 993 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,760 Speaker 2: stiff side, those two arrows still might not shoot together 994 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 2: because of the three forty to three sixty of that 995 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 2: spine of a three fifty earrow can be that far 996 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 2: spread that they're still going to react differently to each other. Right, So, 997 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 2: even though you did spine a line it onto the 998 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 2: stiff side. 999 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, So don't mix and match your arrows from two 1000 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,920 Speaker 1: from last year, you know, years ago. 1001 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 2: And a lot of arrows you know, are in batches, 1002 00:56:54,520 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 2: you know, consistent off of stuff like that. But to me, 1003 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 2: it's you know, it depends on everybody's finances too, you know, 1004 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 2: and it's always good to you know, if you're going to, 1005 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 2: you know, year to year shoot the same arrow you know, 1006 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,479 Speaker 2: get some new fresh arrows and and make those your 1007 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 2: your important ones and beat up all your old ones, 1008 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 2: and practice and get site marks and stuff like that. 1009 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 2: As far as your elevation and stuff, usually not going 1010 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 2: to be a big deal. But the group tightening, you know, 1011 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,920 Speaker 2: shooting arrow after ara after row in the same spots. 1012 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:35,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to show on some of that, but a 1013 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 2: lot probably a little bit too much more to think about. 1014 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 2: I guess you can really go down some rabbit holes 1015 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 2: on this stuff. But bottom line is practice, shoot, be 1016 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 2: you be consistent, because you know you're you're changing more 1017 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 2: than any of the other stuff. 1018 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: Is Yeah, that's true, That's very true. Now, you and 1019 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 1: I both watch a lot of YouTube videos hunting videos, 1020 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know how many I watch, where when 1021 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 1: the archer draws back on the elk and you hear 1022 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,800 Speaker 1: a noise from the arrow sliding on the rest, like 1023 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: maybe this little squeak or just a slide like it's 1024 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 1: a loud slide or whatever, and bam, the bull perks 1025 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: up and stops it picks that up. Man, that's something 1026 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: you got to figure out before hunting season gets here. 1027 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 1: So depending on your rest and how it works, like 1028 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 1: some some of the old rest I used to have 1029 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: back in the old day had maybe they were covered 1030 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 1: with like a rubber. 1031 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 2: Dip or like a shoulder wrap or hunters. Yeah, and 1032 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 2: then you'd shoot, and you shoot so much then it 1033 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 2: would wear a hole in it and then you'd start 1034 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 2: hearing the I got mine. Mine this year is probably 1035 00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 2: super quiet on the rest. I was definitely getting a 1036 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 2: lot up and I was able to find some really 1037 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 2: thin felt and just put a very little bit on 1038 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 2: there and that the only thing you hear is the 1039 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 2: is the stops hitting the cable. Yeah, And at that 1040 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 2: time I'm loaded and it's it's it's good time. Yeah. 1041 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's not getting there right, So it's super 1042 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 2: I'm really happy with my setup on on how how 1043 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 2: everything's working together on that bow. 1044 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna have to definitely take a look at 1045 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: mine to make sure it's good to go, because before 1046 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 1: I go afield, because yeah, that's something you don't want 1047 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 1: to find out that you kind of overlooked, you know, 1048 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 1: in your groove of practice in all summer and you 1049 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 1: kind of forget about that stuff until you're out in 1050 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: the woods it's opening day and or whatever, maybe it's 1051 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 1: the last day of it. 1052 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,080 Speaker 2: The definitely the one thing with elk hunting, there's definitely 1053 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 2: times where you know, some of that stuff just doesn't 1054 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 2: even matter because it's chaotic. You know, the winds are blowing, 1055 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,520 Speaker 2: the leaves are rustling. 1056 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 1: The bolts are making noise. 1057 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's limbs popping elk or screaming, cows are chirping, 1058 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,959 Speaker 2: you know. So, but you get up in a tree 1059 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 2: for white tail. 1060 01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 1: Or a water hole for anaaloge, you got snow on. 1061 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 2: The ground, everything's just superie. 1062 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's not a not a noise. 1063 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 2: At all, just you moving your arm to hook onto 1064 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 2: the release, you know, onto the strings. What was that? 1065 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,280 Speaker 2: But sometimes we can get by with a little bit 1066 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 2: more on elk honting something crazy like white tail hunting. 1067 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 1: You brought up then how they were reacted to different sounds. 1068 01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: So in Kansas last fall, sitting in a blind, I 1069 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: moved inside the mind there's a there's a deer in 1070 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: front of us, and I moved and I hit the 1071 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 1: side of the blind that there's a metal blind, and 1072 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 1: it made a clank noise. The deer name looked their way, 1073 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,520 Speaker 1: but I moved my arms, you know, fabric on fabric moving, 1074 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: and that deer just stops and just looks into that blind, 1075 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 1: like what is that? So it was weird that clink 1076 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 1: did not get a reaction at all, but the sound 1077 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: of clothing revenut clothing, and I thought that was odd. 1078 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 1: So then it went back to being not being paying attention. 1079 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 1: I might I'm gonna test this out and see if 1080 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: I just got lucky. And I think what i'd set 1081 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: I'd set my grunt call in the side of the 1082 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: blind or something and made a noise earlier. So I 1083 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: tinked it again and no reaction. So now I'm not 1084 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 1: saying that's the case every time with white tails, because 1085 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 1: everybody knows sometimes anything will make them turn inside out. 1086 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 1: But I thought that was odd, But it is. 1087 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 2: Because I mean, you know, you hear you know, egg 1088 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 2: corns or whatever hitting the leaves like you know, they 1089 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 2: and they don't, but all of a sudden, there's just 1090 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 2: something you look, what what was that? And so they do. 1091 01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 2: I think they definitely have anunderstanding of what should be 1092 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 2: naturally sounds and unnatural sounds. 1093 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: They say, if you have to walk through hardwood forests 1094 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 1: and you're like trying to sneak, you know, for deer, 1095 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 1: then you should not like walk at a normal human 1096 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: cadence pace of step footsteps. Yeah, that you should like 1097 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: take a step, maybe shuffle your feet and then stop 1098 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 1: and then maybe move along again. 1099 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 2: And I do that when I'm elk hunting, you know, 1100 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people are like, oh man, 1101 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 2: I just suck them. I'm just I'm not very quiet, 1102 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 2: and I'm like I'm never quiet, Yeah, because I think 1103 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 2: they sense the predator, the sneakiness, like you know, versus 1104 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:41,919 Speaker 2: I mean, how many times have you been walking back 1105 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 2: to camp and just just beating it all said, Oh 1106 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 2: you look up and there's elk twenty yards in front. Yeah, 1107 01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 2: they hate they urge you count and they're like, oh, 1108 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 2: here comes some milk us who is it? Oh that's 1109 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 2: not jimmy. 1110 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when there's a couple of people because you 1111 01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: have that different like footstep sound and sound like yeah, 1112 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 1: because they're not quiet, No, they're not quiet. 1113 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 2: What is quiet? Predators? 1114 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,840 Speaker 1: So it sounds like you're going antaloe punting leaving here 1115 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,600 Speaker 1: in an hour? Yeah? Probably less. 1116 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully ten fifteen minutes. 1117 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 1: We wrap this thing up, you can go an aloe 1118 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 1: punting where you ground blinded? Are you? 1119 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? Got some some blinds out on some water, which 1120 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 2: we got some thunderstorms and water coming already from the sky, 1121 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 2: so I don't know how good that's going to be. 1122 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 2: H If that's a bust, then we'll go out to 1123 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 2: the spot in stalk. But I've got some blinds on 1124 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,400 Speaker 2: some area that really the only way to haunt it. 1125 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 2: There's just no cover. So there's a lot of goats 1126 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 2: out there, so hopefully we'll get them to come into 1127 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 2: some water. If not, then we'll drive around and try 1128 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,080 Speaker 2: to find some some land that gives us some opportunities 1129 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 2: or some taller sagebrush to crawl around in. 1130 01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Therettle snakes there, I don't think. So what about where 1131 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: you're elk hunting this fall? 1132 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 2: Yes? 1133 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: Are you a snake guy? Are you scared of snakes, 1134 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 1: but I don't see a whole lot of them. 1135 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:20,919 Speaker 2: Yeah.

He can't do all the trail 1140 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,480 Speaker 2: runs that he likes to do during the summer because wow, 1141 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 2: the snake's wrote. He doesn't like them. And I'm telling him, 1142 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 2: I said, you know, you should get like some big 1143 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 2: old you know, boots and chaps on and see what 1144 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 2: you can get away with. Yeah, because I hear it's 1145 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 2: only like one percent that willever strike and then it's 1146 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 2: another like one percent or three percent that would actually 1147 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 2: get in and get venom in you like, It's like 1148 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,000 Speaker 2: it's pretty rare, supposedly, huh. But I'd like him to 1149 01:04:59,000 --> 01:04:59,479 Speaker 2: try it. 1150 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be a good test. I'd like to seize results. 1151 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:05,640 Speaker 1: So yeah. 1152 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 2: So and I I I probably could care less about snakes. 1153 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 2: And I would rather have snakes than say like scorpions 1154 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 2: or spiders. Oh really, yeah, because I know they'll crawl 1155 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 2: on me at night. Oh yeah, I can get it 1156 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 2: in my ears or something. I don't really mind any 1157 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 2: of those snakes or scorpions or spiders. But what I 1158 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 2: really don't like are beetles really. 1159 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, or centipedes. Beetles and centipedes. 1160 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, like centipedes. 1161 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't want a beetle on mean or near me, 1162 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,800 Speaker 1: but they give me the will. 1163 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 2: When you like when you watch Survivor and they eat 1164 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 2: the bugs. Does that buggery? 1165 01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't make me like get breathe heavyer my 1166 01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 1: heart bound, but it makes me kind of like gross, 1167 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, anybody does, yeh. Plsu're from one of those 1168 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 1: countries where beat ale eating or buggety. 1169 01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the squirting, you know, the crunch sound then 1170 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 2: the squirting of stuff coming out doesn't do it for me, 1171 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 2: but extra but yeah, but yeah, so I'm not sure 1172 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 2: on the snake thing. But yeah, I would choose not 1173 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 2: to see him if I didn't have to. But it's 1174 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 2: not not gonna be terrible, I guess, at least I 1175 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 2: say that now. Kevin sent me some pretty big pictures 1176 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 2: of our good pictures of some big snakes. 1177 01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1178 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 2: He was just out shooting his bow the other day 1179 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 2: and he went for a run and he comes back 1180 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 2: and you could see where a snake went across the 1181 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 2: road and He's like, oh, sneaking snake just crossed the 1182 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 2: road and he started shooting his bow and stuff, and 1183 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 2: then come to realize that snake has been sitting there 1184 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,320 Speaker 2: coiled up right behind his shooting steak the whole time. 1185 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:43,479 Speaker 1: Holy cow. 1186 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, okay, I'm done. 1187 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:50,040 Speaker 1: And I hadn't rattled. Really, that's a scary part, the 1188 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 1: ones that don't rattle. We were out at the archery range, 1189 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: my son Austin and I and he's like, oh, look 1190 01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: there's a snake.

I'm like, well, 1192 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,440 Speaker 1: I better be a little more careful. But it was 1193 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 1: a big old bull snake. I think it was probably 1194 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 1: about three feet long, but it wasn't big around it was. 1195 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 2: So we have like gopher snakes here and I've only 1196 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 2: seen two. But they they kind of have the markings 1197 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 2: of a rattler. They just don't have the head or 1198 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 2: the rattles. They're kind of cool looking. Accidentally hit one 1199 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 2: with a lawnmar But yeah, I like them because they 1200 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 2: eat a lot of the mice and stuff out here. 1201 01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good to have around.

We're using a 1212 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 2: kafaro saw tooth and uh. I remember I woke up. 1213 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,280 Speaker 2: I could hear some rattling, you know, rustling. I'm thinking, oh, 1214 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 2: stupid mice, you know, into the wrappers. And I get 1215 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 2: up and I take out out on the flashlight, and 1216 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 2: I look around and see the skunk and scurrying off, 1217 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 2: and there's a wrapper off of one of my meat sticks. 1218 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, this son a gun was in 1219 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,479 Speaker 2: our tent. He was in here with us while we 1220 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,640 Speaker 2: were sleeping. And so I go back into bed and 1221 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 2: I don't know this. A little bit later and all 1222 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,600 Speaker 2: of a sudden, I hear this rustling around again, and 1223 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,759 Speaker 2: I grabbed my head lamp and I turned my headlamp 1224 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:51,160 Speaker 2: on and he's inside. Oh no, and it's sort of course. 1225 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:55,280 Speaker 2: I startled him at that point, and he starts running 1226 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 2: back and forth and I'm just thinking, no, no. I 1227 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 2: finally he zips up and gets underneath the sawdus and 1228 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,880 Speaker 2: takes off, and I'm like, we're gonna have to kill 1229 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 2: that guy because he keeps coming in from my food. 1230 01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 1: He found the food. 1231 01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, that was pretty scary. 1232 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:17,880 Speaker 1: Well, I killed this elk and I was breaking it down. 1233 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: I killed it, you know, forty minutes before dark or whatever, 1234 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,639 Speaker 1: and I was breaking it down, of course in the dark, 1235 01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 1: got my headlamp on, and I'm working away, you know, 1236 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,639 Speaker 1: breaking this thing down, cutting quarters off, and I hear 1237 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,759 Speaker 1: there's something behind me. I hear something in the brush 1238 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,760 Speaker 1: behind me, and I'm like, well, this is great because 1239 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 1: my pistol is about twenty yards up the hill with 1240 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 1: my pack and here this is it. I'm gonna have 1241 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 1: a showdown with a bear or a wolf or a 1242 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,200 Speaker 1: mountain lion or something. And I turned around and it 1243 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: was the worst thing that I don't know if it 1244 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,479 Speaker 1: might be worse than any of those. It was a skunk. 1245 01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 1: He was about ten yards away, maybe closer, and he's 1246 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: kind of facing me, and he's kind of going from 1247 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 1: one front foot to the kind of bouncing back and 1248 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: forth on his front feet, looking at me, trying to 1249 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,599 Speaker 1: figure out what I am. But I think he smelled 1250 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: that elk me. I thought, oh man, it's good. I'm like, 1251 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 1: oh no, hey, little guy. I start talking to him. 1252 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 1: Oh hey, little guy, what you just go, you know, 1253 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: scurry off? And I kind of backed up real slow, 1254 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 1: and I walked, got up, got over to my pack 1255 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: and grabbed my pistol and I was like, well, I 1256 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,479 Speaker 1: can't shoot him because he'll spray all over my elk. 1257 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 1: I got this single skinned out, you know, and I 1258 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 1: got the meat exposed. If I shoot him and he's 1259 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,960 Speaker 1: gonna spray all over the elk, I was like, oh man, 1260 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 1: I just what am I going to do? So I 1261 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 1: just kind of made some noises and cleared my throat 1262 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,360 Speaker 1: and talked to him a little bit with a louder voice, 1263 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 1: and he kind of finally scurried off. But man, that 1264 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: was that was a scary moment in time. And let's 1265 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,840 Speaker 1: go do the wolves and the cats bother you? No, 1266 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,759 Speaker 1: the bears, no, the bears don't bother you. No grizzly bears. 1267 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little concerned about them, but I don't 1268 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 1: hunt grizzly country. But when I have hunted it, yeah, 1269 01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,640 Speaker 1: I've Yeah, you know, your head's on a swell. It 1270 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 1: seems like you're you're you're paying way more attention, like 1271 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:13,559 Speaker 1: you're not just kind of do to do, like you're 1272 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 1: you're on it the whole time. But which at the 1273 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 1: end of the day, I feel is more exhausting. At 1274 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you're just like wiped out 1275 01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:21,719 Speaker 1: as you've just been on high alert. 1276 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,880 Speaker 2: Like I've never ran into a wolf the first opening 1277 01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 2: day in Montana this year or last year, and you know, 1278 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:32,040 Speaker 2: and I was never like, oh man, that was close. 1279 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 2: I almost scot you know, it's like it's a wolf. 1280 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 1: It's a dog. 1281 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know. 1282 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 1: But they are known to attack people from time to time. 1283 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 1: But usually i'm hunting or I have If I didn't 1284 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 1: have a weapon, I would definitely be concerned. But you know, 1285 01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,439 Speaker 1: if I got my bow or my I usually if 1286 01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm by myself, a lot of times I'll pack a 1287 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 1: pistol just because if I get hurt or something I 1288 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 1: have to lay there and then things think I'm ready 1289 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:08,519 Speaker 1: to ye things, things ready to eat over there. That 1290 01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 1: I want to have a pistol to be able to 1291 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:16,679 Speaker 1: kind of defend myself if i'm if I'm injured. But yeah, yeah, cougars, 1292 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,080 Speaker 1: wolves and bears that I don't really worry about those 1293 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 1: too much, and I probably should. I'm gonna have a 1294 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,599 Speaker 1: run in one of these. Yeah, the bear. 1295 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:25,879 Speaker 2: The bear is the only one that really makes me nervous. 1296 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 2: But there, you know, I haven't not come across the 1297 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 2: cat coming stalking in on me calling. I probably would 1298 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,720 Speaker 2: feel a little bit different seeing a cat crouched up 1299 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 2: and ready. I know it's not usually it's not like 1300 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 2: high on my concern like like bears are. 1301 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: I know a couple I know. I have know a 1302 01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,559 Speaker 1: handful of people that have been stalked by cougars before. 1303 01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 1: When Mike, my wife's cousin's son, high school boy, he 1304 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,320 Speaker 1: was out rattling for white tails and he heard something 1305 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,439 Speaker 1: behind him and there's a cougar like ten feet He 1306 01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 1: turns around, blast it kills it dead right there. But 1307 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if they're going to pounce. 1308 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,320 Speaker 1: Cats are curious, They like to observe a buddy of mine. 1309 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,679 Speaker 1: He he used to be a forester as for a trade. 1310 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,599 Speaker 1: You know, he'd go through timber stands and mark timber 1311 01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,479 Speaker 1: for timber sales and all this and that. And he's like, 1312 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: I never carried a gun. He's liked him and another 1313 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,560 Speaker 1: guy working on this survey. One day and he was 1314 01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,639 Speaker 1: kind of heading back to the pickup and he he's, 1315 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 1: I kind of I felt had a funny feeling. I 1316 01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 1: turned around and there's a mountain lion following me, like 1317 01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 1: fifteen yards back. Whenever i'd move, it move, So he's like, 1318 01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 1: I just kept eye contact with it and moved my 1319 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,439 Speaker 1: way real slow, and I kind of talked to it, 1320 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, in a low voice, and got back to 1321 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 1: pick up. He followed me all the way out till 1322 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,160 Speaker 1: I got to the pickup and opened the door. It 1323 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,559 Speaker 1: was up on the cup bank and then it turned 1324 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 1: around the left. 1325 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,599 Speaker 2: That's the best time to shoot it, right by the car, right. Yeah. 1326 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,920 Speaker 1: He had to pack it. And then about ten minutes later, 1327 01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:14,479 Speaker 1: his partner he was waiting for started hollering. He's like, Mark, Mark, 1328 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 1: you got a gun. There's a cat up. Harry's following me. 1329 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: He's like, that's okay, just come on back, keep eye contact, 1330 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,440 Speaker 1: don't turn your back to him. He'll be fine. And 1331 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 1: that thing followed him all the way out, but they didn't. 1332 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:30,439 Speaker 1: It didn't, it didn't pounce. But another guy knew of 1333 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,439 Speaker 1: he was calling elk and he had a mountain lion 1334 01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 1: come into his calling and he shot it with his bow, 1335 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 1: but it ran off. A couple of years later, a 1336 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 1: houndsman treed and killed it a mountain lion in that 1337 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 1: same area, and that thing had a broadhead lodged in 1338 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 1: its eye socket and it was the same broad It 1339 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,800 Speaker 1: was the same cat that that guy had shot in 1340 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,479 Speaker 1: the face a a couple of years earlier. It is 1341 01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 1: in the newspaper there in orth Idahoa. So that was 1342 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,880 Speaker 1: pretty cool to see that. And then I'd talked to 1343 01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:04,360 Speaker 1: the guy a couple of times too. 1344 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 2: When we were at Ryan Lampert's summit this year, Joel 1345 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:13,639 Speaker 2: Turner came out and we did a thing on bear 1346 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:23,639 Speaker 2: attacks or you know, shooting charging bear And yeah, it's 1347 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 2: not real good odds. No, I think maybe out of 1348 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 2: all the people that shot, everybody's probably three or four hits. 1349 01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 2: I mean they were missing every time. Oh yeah, and 1350 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 2: it was just a milk jug being drug at them. 1351 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,720 Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't even a charging grizzly bear. And 1352 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,640 Speaker 2: the nerves of like, oh everybody's gonna watch me was 1353 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:53,160 Speaker 2: just enough. And you know, I think that he realized, like, 1354 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, that's a situation I really don't want 1355 01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:58,200 Speaker 2: to get in. 1356 01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to be in it either. Well, I mean, you, flud, 1357 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 1: you've been walking along nice and quiet and a grouse 1358 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,559 Speaker 1: flushes up you about piss your pants right there? Like 1359 01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 1: think about a grizzly Yeah, surprising you like that. I mean, 1360 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty hard to keep up. I went 1361 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,120 Speaker 1: chat together. I went and checked the cameras. 1362 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,439 Speaker 2: And I'm walking into the meadow that I've got this 1363 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,960 Speaker 2: camera on a wallow and I'm like so focused on 1364 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:32,120 Speaker 2: looking for the tree to see if my camera's still there. 1365 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,759 Speaker 2: Nobody stole that type of thing. And all of a sudden, 1366 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:41,879 Speaker 2: I stop and I look and there's a moose fifteen 1367 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 2: yards in front of me with a calf and she's 1368 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,639 Speaker 2: kind of for she's looking at me, and I looked 1369 01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,839 Speaker 2: at her and like my heart just jumped and luckily 1370 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 2: she ran the other way. I was like, huh, it's 1371 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,920 Speaker 2: fucking you know, and I had bear spray and I'm 1372 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,759 Speaker 2: thinking it wasn't even remotely a thought process to grab 1373 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 2: do you think anything? I was just like, so the thought, yeah, 1374 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 2: the thought of an actual bear on am I ready? 1375 01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think anybody's ever ready. I just feel like, Okay, 1376 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,680 Speaker 1: hopefully I'll have to be able to get my gun out, 1377 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:17,599 Speaker 1: and I'm probably not going to try to shoot at 1378 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 1: it when it's running until it's like on me, like 1379 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 1: like point blank, because i feel like I'm I'm probably 1380 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 1: not going to hit it, right. 1381 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 2: The chances of me that's you know, And that's what 1382 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 2: really that Joel was talking about is like you're really one. 1383 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 2: The odds of killing the bear is extremely low with 1384 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,680 Speaker 2: a handgun, and then really all you're trying to do 1385 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 2: is deter it, make it change its mind on what 1386 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:48,920 Speaker 2: it's doing. Yeah, but yeah, that I mean that moose 1387 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 2: was like probably more people are killed by moose and bears, Oh, definitely. 1388 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're pretty pretty pretty wild.
