And I just wanted to give you a quick update on the float. Here I am in my office space here, which is also doubles as our what we call the lab. And this is where we assemble everything. And here, of course, it's Friday, so everybody's gone. We just got Jeremiah, our hardworking, put in the hours, overtime float builder.

1:05So here you can see, it's getting these little shafts here prepped. Got all the parts here laid out in these bins, a little assembly line going. Sitting here watching the keep hammer and collective, talking with Mr. Greg Poole. Yeah, just wanted to give you a quick update on that. We have already shipped out a handful of them, so hopefully we'll be hitting the ground running come Monday and we'll be shipping out several hundred more next week. So yeah, been very popular and we just wanted to say thanks for all your support. Welcome to the range podcast. I'm Ricky Brouley and with me is Jake Hollywood Iverson. Join us at the archery range where we'll tell stories from the hunt, discuss technical boasting tactics and gear and pick the brands as some of the most successful people to ever shoot a bow. Whether you're about to shoot that X for the win or send an arrow at a trophy bot, this podcast is for you.

2:07The range podcast is brought to you by vapor trail archery makers of the best bullsprings money can buy originators of Lindriff and Arrow rest technology and innovators of stoker ice, stabilizer systems. Welcome to the range. Everybody I'm your host Ricky Brouley and I'm sitting here with my co-host Mr. Jake Hollywood Iverson. He's chilling waiting for us to get things going. Today is we're going to do an arrow loose episode again. We're going to give you a few updates as we shoot and we're actually going to shoot of 300 Vegas round today, both me and Hollywood, bear with me. This is the first time I think I've shot one in probably a decade. So we've also got our friend Dylan here from the local radio station Bob F. M. If you want to see he's going to be shooting while we talk. He's also the bass player for the Mitch Gordon band which is pretty cool. We're good buddies with Mitch. Hey Mitch, how you doing? If you're listening. So yeah, we're just going to get this thing going.

3:07The first thing we want to talk about is that everybody's really excited about is the float and we have them. They're here. They're being assembled as we speak and we'll be starting to ship them today. So we don't have a ton of them, but we have them. Not a ton, but we do. We have sold out. Yeah, our first run is completely sold out. Again, sorry about it, whatever. Yeah. We already sold out, so they are shipping though for those that pre-ordered. I will not be using the float either, not today, because I have a static rest. Not today. And we're going to talk a little bit about that static rest you have as well, because we've had some people ask about that from the last episode. But yeah, let's go ahead and you've already got a practice end in. You got ready that quick. I'm going to try to get a practice end in real quick, and then we'll come back and we'll

4:12get the thing going. So good. All right, here we go. First end. First going. My practice round didn't go so good at $10.98. See how this goes. That's a nine. This is the second time we're filming us shooting and the second time in a row, my back is just killing me. It's only when we record, man. This is the moment where I place the head of EOR over you in pulse production. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to start with saying like it's not to be EOR, but dude, I am like I said, I have five pain patches on my back right now. And Tylenol on an empty stomach. So we already talked a little bit about the float. We're super excited about that. We got a lot of people. We got a pretty well-known individual out there that's going to be getting one too,

5:13which is pretty cool. Yeah, I was going to ask you what we're supposed to talk about now. So focused on shooting this vagus face and just fighting through my pain that I kind of forgot what we're even going to talk about. I should have a pen down here, I think. Oh, I knew that one shot was real good. Sad though. X1010. There's a 10-10-9. I actually might need a pen too. This is more important to track your X's than anything. I'm going to have to use track. I just wanted to touch on a little bit in the conservation world. Looking at the boundary waters canoe, a wilderness, house joint resolution 140. Using the Congressional Review Act to remove protections for the boundary waters against

6:13copper, sulfide, or mining and potentially poisoning the watershed. And so it was passed to remove those protections in the house. Now it's going to the Senate. At this point, we were expecting to have some sort of, or they were saying that the Senate was going to vote on it by now. But they haven't, so still just kind of twiddling our thumbs and waiting. I mean, I know there's all kinds of other stuff on the docket and other things going on. So we'll kind of continue to discuss the update on that and shoot our second end here. So I'm going to grab a pen, because yeah, dude. I guess the realization really hasn't, a reality hasn't set in for the floats. We have some of the production run, I don't know all of it, but they're sold out, and we...

7:20Crazy. They're actually here. Well, the fact that we're actually going to be shipping ahead of schedule is crazy. Everything all kind of came together at once. We had a slight delay in the packaging, but that ended up showing up yesterday as well as another part that we've been waiting on. Yeah. Showed up in the same day. We've actually lost it in their own files. What I've learned over the last few days of shooting is, I don't know if it's just from working out and whatnot, but I have some extra shoulder twitches that occur within the first five to seven seconds of me settling in. So it's like, if I can get through that and tell myself to just keep focusing on the target, then everything goes well. If I let the release go within the first seven seconds, oh man, it could be disastrous to the score. It's like, it's a huge, I don't know.

8:22It's consistent, so if I just fight through it and let myself settle down even more, I'm good. I'm still barely scraped by on that one, battling through some back pain and knee pain today. I probably should have let down on that one and then ended up shooting her next. Probably the only thing I like was because I talked. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not you at all. You lost your focus. It's totally me. It's not about, I'm not worried about any of that stuff. I should be able to shoot. Probably the best thing out, the only thing I like about a Vegas face is 30 arrows. It goes pretty quick, but you can really mess up your score really quick. That top target you may want to look at that one, thankfully, that's all recording. That's pretty inside out.

9:23Boney might need a couple of pointers on that one. Glorious. Yeah, shot an eight. So I got, what was it, it was 10, 10, 9, and then I got an X, 10, 8. That's good. As long as I beat you with the shaft so I'm shooting. That's okay, but if you beat me too, that's also okay. But it's a good exercise, because I, you know, sometimes really know at what level you're shooting, of course, until, I mean, that's an obvious statement, I feel dumb saying that. So yeah, I guess, oh, another thing is super tired today, the camera, I'm over here, man. But really, kind of feeling tired on you, but yeah, you just got to walk out in front. I feel a little tired, but I was thinking about it, I'm like, man, I should really shoot, grab some coffee before we shoot.

10:25Like, I know how that goes. So I'm like, I'll wait till after this podcast is done, and I'll juice up with some coffee. There you go. This is the thing of you last week, just standing there, your coffee moment. No, I'm not going to do that. Yeah. All right. So I'm already down three. Are we talking boundary waters here or what's, uh, I think we're done with that, not a whole lot. Say about that, you know, we're just kind of waiting for the Senate to vote on it and see what's going on. But, I mean, if you do care about conservation, I mean, even if you're not in Minnesota, this affects everyone really because using the Congressional Review Act is unfounded, it's never been used for this before. And so if it can be used here, it can be used anywhere. And that, that includes public access and public land anywhere across the country. So if that's a concern, you should probably call your local senator, yeah, and urge them to vote against House Joint Resolution 140.

11:27Yeah. I don't even like the boundary waters in our living Minnesota, so, um, and I hate the idea of it. I'm on the spectrum of not an inch. Um, and if this is the way they're willing to go, you know, and it doesn't even benefit us. Then not an inch. I don't want it. Um, the other thing we were kind of talking about the other day, and I saw an article about like how sponsorships in archery right now is driving up costs. And so, and because of that, because of the added costs in product, now Chinese manufacturers are beginning to infiltrate the target space. I think it, I don't see it a ton, but that's why I was kind of asking you because I'm not, I don't really have a good pulse on the target space, but it's interesting to me that, you know, basically what they're saying is that all of all these shooters are being more price

12:33conscious, because I mean, let's be honest, the target rig is, I mean, dude, you can buy a car for the cost of the solid target rig. What was that, dude? Oh, no. When did you miss the target? Oh my God. Wow, you talking about a bad time for the release to go off. That was it. I just had a fat nine, like almost wide out as your eight. That was, oh, I was so tripping over the Chinese market, no, but yeah, so there's like, I think my bow, I believe they're Chinese, but San Lita, San Lita's like the laughing stock, but scary enough, they're, you know, they're selling bows.

13:37And then, oh, not so, like, undercut us, but like, or anyone, really, that makes stabilizers, but it's pretty damn hard to just make a different, like, carbon tube. Yeah, carbon tubes are carbon tubes, unless you're going to start, you know, filling them with this or that, I think that's the only way I'm assuming it's going to be filled stuff in order to deaden that, like, there's just different ways you can deaden your bars. And beyond that, at the end of the day, it's carbon tube. So, yeah, so I guess there's, you know, there's some growing concern that people are stepping away from American-made products and the foreign product manufacturers are starting to provide

14:41sponsorships and product and things like that, and more and more archers are getting into that, I guess. I don't know how else to really say that. Yeah, I don't know, but you're right. I was thinking of, like, the target rig could be almost a price of a nice used car. Like, this bow in its prime was maybe almost 2 grand, but you got about 2 grand for this, and then the site is a few hundred bucks. The scope is, I mean, typically, you know, if Jamie can go to market on this, you know, it won't be so bad, but typically your scope is a couple hundred bucks, and then your rest is three hundred, what was it, three hundred and forty dollars, your bars are probably a few hundred bucks. So, yeah, you got a few thousand dollars in doing it, especially after you include release

15:46and arrows and everything else, dude, that was a good shot. I'll take it. But yeah, I mean, I don't know, I think everyone's trying to save a buck, so I get it. Yeah, we're in kind of a tight market right now. But then at the same time, that kind of contradicts what we talked about last week, and that is that we're seeing more people willing to spend money, too, so I don't know what to believe. Just trying to work on my Joel Turner closed loop. I have a 10 sitting down there on the top target, and it's just like screaming for its life that it's a 10. That was pretty bad. Oh my goodness, I am all over the place.

16:48Certainly not shooting as good as James Bisser today. Speaking of that, we sent a victor to his fiance. Are they married yet? At the very least fiance. Bri, Brianna? At the most, I think they call it a wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, we sent it to her, and then I was, this was back last summer, and then I sent to a message today. And I was like, hey man, did you guys ever get a chance to make a build video? And he's like, yeah, a long time ago, pal. I was like, oh, so I went and checked out their YouTube channel and sure thing they did one way back in August. Thanks for the heads up. Made a build video with... Where's it? What's up? The bone arrow shot. The bone arrow shot. And Las Cruces, California. Might be wrong on that. But definitely California, definitely a bone arrow shot. Great shot out there. This sucks.

17:50I don't even know what you can really hunt other than, like, black tail in California. No shot, dude. That's your best arrow, man. Just lost my insert. Oh my God, there's a hole in there. I can put my hand all the way through it. Yeah, dude. Well, that sucks. Yeah, I've been watching kind of James Visser and his road to 300 with Vegas. He's going to try Vegas and it's kind of entertaining. And James Visser, they're from the bone disciples. So disciples, yeah. Yeah, so that's kind of cool that he's been getting into that. And I nerd out like hardcore on like arrow builds and just learning from like these guys that have been around for a while, like Greg Poole and I saw he's with Greg Poole just the other day. And I thought it was pretty sweet, but Greg's helping him out and what not. As James gets ready for the Vegas shoot.

18:50Same with Paige Pierce. It's funny because that's what prompted me to message him because I saw that episode that he did with Greg Poole. And I was like, oh, I should probably check in and see how things are going with that. How many, what, we shoot 10 ends? I don't know. We're only at, we're just about to half. Wait, three times. Right, don't we shoot 30 arrows? Yeah. So yeah, 10 ends. We're almost this way there. We're halfway there. The half right now after these three arrows. Sponsorship toss. Something vapor trail doesn't ever have to worry about at the moment. Oh my god. Dude, I, okay. This is kind of embarrassing actually. This is like the worst end. I just might have shot a seven.

19:52Oh, no, that's an eight. I just finished out of nine. Like this is the fact that they give you a 10 this big. It's the same size as the five or the X. Five spot round. And I'm not even hitting it right now. Oh. Yeah, we don't do a lot of sponsorship stuff, unfortunately. And I'm just throwing that out there just because you know, if we're saying that sponsorship is driving up costs, I can tell you right now that's not why the victor costs as much as it does. No, it's not driving up our costs because our marketing budget is. Yeah. I mean, mediocre at that. We do not pay a lot of people or hardly anyone to shoot our stuff, which I'm pretty proud to say that honestly. Yeah, I know the reason and benefit of doing it,

20:53but it's awesome to say that we don't. Yeah, I mean, I take pride in what we're able to do with what we have. Yeah, boots on the ground like, you know, scraping for every possible sale that you can get. Yeah, because there's other, I mean, basically every other manufacturer pays people to shoot their stuff or pays contingencies. We nearly do not do either. Very close to none. So the people that shoot our stuff fully believe in it, and fully like our product at the moment, and are not getting paid. Wow, dude. Even nine, eight, eight. Yeah, see that's either fat nine. Even though I still feel that many of them deserve to be paid, or contingencies should be.

21:54But that is like one of those things again, where thankfully we don't have to be concerned about that driving up our costs. Our costs are what they are because we have to stay with the overall market. Being expensive to manufacture a machine in, so. These wood thitties. That's half, right? Yep. Are you going lower just to get out of that hole up there or just to be part of the flip? Partially both. All right, then if you're going to do it, I better do it. It's got to be official. Dude, this is so. Can you like purposely bleep something? Because that'd be cool, but this is dog shit. Should I, can I AI arrows into the target for the whole thing? Like this is actual dog shit flaming. I'm going to have currently five Xs going, so. I'm already eight down.

22:55Yeah, I'm only two down, but I mean two down is from Xcom. I mean, or you have not. If we were doing this for the our huge viewership of our podcast, I would have already quit and just said today's not the day. The back feels terrible. I know. It's quite tired. Two eights in a row that I just shot. Yeah, that felt real cool. That made me feel like a really good archer. But this is why we're doing this. You know what I mean? It's because it gives us a reason to shoot and. You know what? You know, I'm not in my glory days anymore. So I have to just swallow that pill and just shoot. And if it means I got to get better because I am putting myself out there and trying to prevent the embarrassment of shooting the way I am right now. That's what I got to do. You know what? The Chinese market also offers killer instinct crossbows.

23:58So I mean, many guys might look at this and go, you know what? This is why I'm going to pick up a crossbow. And, you know, they just hang up using the compound. But I know you won't do that. So there's plenty of people out there that may call themselves a dude. And instead pick up a crossbow. Yeah, I mean, I need to have like a legit disability. Yeah. You know. And. Sam so holds uncle comes in here once in a while. And he's probably in his 80s. Dude. And I kid you not. The last time he was in here, he even admitted he goes, yeah, I know. I look like I got hit by a semi truck. He said that. And I was like, whoa. But he also said, I will not shoot or refuse to shoot a crossbow.

24:58So I was going to try absolutely 100% need to. We have a dealer in Colorado. And she. She is almost 80. And he eats a compound bow. In Colorado, you said? Yep. I forgot I also have to move the camera down. So I can see. Yeah, the podcast shooting in the range wouldn't be a podcast shooting in the range of a male delivery service didn't show up. A male delivery service. What kind of operation we got going on here? Whoa. M-A-I-L. Not M-A-L-E. Yeah, that's a nine. We're going to have fun. F-U-N.

26:00Yeah, so there's old ladies shooting compounds over crossbows. Just so you guys know that. I might need you to call the, I think this one's good. I think that one's out. At this point, it really doesn't matter, honestly. These are in and this one's out. Yeah. Is that what you were saying? Yep. 10-10-9. I've yet to shoot a solid 3-10s. Let's drop another. You just, that was a nine? Yeah. You know, I feel like we have a good excuse. Yeah, if anyone wants to feel my body right now, go ahead. Talking about male service. Touching your body. Yeah, this is, this is, I'm not, I'm not going to give up, but at the same time I'm kind

27:00of just like, all right. Just relax. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like the YouTube hunting boys shooting a Vegas face right now. Other than James Visser, the only one I've seen that can throw down at the moment. He's throwing down pretty good, huh? Yeah. He's like, he was saying his average is like 298, 299. And then I think he did shoot a 300 with Greg and Paige Pierce. He's shot a couple of 300s now in the last week is what I've seen. I'm just, I'm on par to shoot like Ty Jordan over here. Need to get a wider grill. I'm sorry, I need to shave my legs too. Oh boy. There. Yeah, she's there. Yeah, I'm not going to go down that road.

28:03I wanted to laugh again. It's an ugly time. Yeah, this target about as ugly as I am. It's not looking good. Turkey hunting. Yeah, Jesus. That'll make me happier. Let's talk turkey hunting. Turkey season coming up here. Yeah, I'm pretty excited. Look at that. We start talking about turkey hunting and I shoot it inside out. That's more like it. It's a little bit better. But yeah, uh, spring turkeys coming up here in a month and a half. A month and a half. Pretty excited about that. I'm sure we'll get out to our normal stomping grounds and try not to piss pound it hard in the first week like we did last year in record.

29:04Yeah, that was better off sticking to public last year. Over here guys is private. So yeah, we got a we got a new head on the market. That's pretty exciting. Yeah, you're going to use that thing. Heck yeah, dude. G5 came off the dirty bird. Yeah. Heck yeah. Well, yeah. So you're going to try and do a decap. I don't even know how else to say without something like E or Debbie Downer. I just don't shoot words. I'm just going to go with a normal broad head. I'm not even going to take my chances to it. If I can get close, I can get close. Yeah, it's just it's pretty unique head. I like how, you know, the blades, you can flip them forward for putting in your quiver for storage. Yeah. And then it's magnetic. It's got it like a magnetic closure.

30:06Yeah. So that'll be kind of cool. And, you know, I have those, I have those muzzle ones where the blades fold backwards. But then you have to like kind of loosen the tip to get them to come out. They're kind of just cumbersome mess around with. Especially like when you get into the blind and it's dark and you're trying to fiddle around with them. I'm some pretty excited about it. Do those things look like a sci-fi sword? Yeah, it does. Like when it's forward. I cannot think of the movie that like is in my head when I'm looking at that thing. But there's 100% of movie that has a sword that looks almost like that. It's swear. Reminds me of a movie that there was, it was like a portal. Like you go through a portal and they went to like an ancient Egyptian civilization. And they had these like, like, staffs that they can shoot with.

31:08Like shoot laser beams out of them or whatever. But that's what it kind of reminds me of. I might even be falling asleep behind the bow here. I think you know what? It's a bird away from Turkey hunting on a day like today. Again, if I wasn't recording, this is where you trash the target. And you blank veil. Yep. Oh my God, dude. But yeah, the dirty bird. It's got a 3-inch cut. Blunt tip 125 green. Did you say it's 125? Yeah, all of them are 125. Okay. So I got some coming. I mean, it doesn't really matter whether it was 100 or 125. Those blades never, if you're doing a decap, are going to be shot passed. What? 15? I wouldn't even go past 10. 10? Yeah.

32:08Like that's what I was going to say originally. It's like I go 10 yards all of a day. Shaking like a leaf. So yeah, that'll be sweet. Ben seen Matt Dykes come through here. He's here again last night. And he's getting ready for his, he drew Kansas. Lowell Turkey Slayer. Yep. Extraordinary. He's got some southern hunts to do. Wow. In the ugliest fashion, this is USA hockey right here for these two tens. This is just like, just scraping by for tens. Yeah. I got a 10, 9, 9. Man, this is, I'm just to the point hour. I'm just like, oops. Just trying to get through it. Yep. Same here. This is so bad. Like, literally going to go straight to the gas station. Like get some carbonated meth. AKA energy turnings. I don't do drugs.

33:08Yeah. Cases in. No. I'm not going to do that. Raises your cortisol levels. And I think I have enough of that work in here. Two more ends. Here we go. Yeah. You hear that hairy chill out on Hollywood. Raising his cortisol levels. Yeah. Yeah. I'm ready. Well, I guess it's funny to be thinking about like Turkey season. And I have sectionals this weekend. NFA sectionals. So five spots. And then. Pretty sure another shoot next weekend. And then it's like. The state. Like the one state organization has their NFA state shoot. And then that Saturday is the Vegas shoot for state. And then. Um. After that I think after a couple of weeks is the other organization state shoot.

34:11Like it's nuts. But. I have a lot of like paper stuff in the way before Turkey season. But it'll make it go quick. So. That'll be nice. There you go. So I think what we'll do here is. The next round we shoot will do it off camera. Let's see how much we improve. Well, the other night. The best round of my life. On a vice-bought target. Yeah, that's awesome. Let's talk a little bit about that. It's pretty cool. I wish I could. I wish I could have been here for that. Um. Yeah, I don't know. I also. Well, my lower back. Like today. I'm going to shoot like I am today. Um. My shoulders were tight. But as you know. I was like. I was only like two ends. Clean.

35:11And then after work every day I shoot. Anyway. I'm trying to at least shoot half a game at the very least right now. And. Um. You know, I shoot once in a while on lunch too. But at the very least I'm shooting 30 scoring. But I was shooting. And like Katie had to work in Minneapolis that week. Or that day. Obviously I was shooting. And it's like, all right, who's picking up dinner? And I was like, I literally texted her. I go, hold on. I think at this point I had 30 arrows down. I dropped like, I think two X's that whole time. I currently on track to shoot the best score of my life. So let me see how this shakes out. I'm going to be home late. And I just, I kept just, you know, kept right at it. And then, um, yeah, the last two ends. I was just like, I was sweating. But I dropped a five on, uh, dropped the next, got a five on the second last end.

36:14And then the last end shot solid five X's. And yeah, I was just out here and went, just shouting and roaring and lukering. No, but that wasn't distracting at all. That's why I shot during it to see what would happen. I didn't put my phone on silent. Dude, we got to look at the static rest. Yes, that'll be the next thing. I feel like we are shooting like 80 HD monsters right now. Yeah, yeah, I'm just, oh my gosh. I might have just shot three eights. I don't know. No, you cracked the nine on that first one. Yeah, a million percent. A million percent. A million percent. Oh, this is horrible. 988. Last time coming up, my back's like, thank you. All right, I've just figured out the hook and the title of this episode. No worries calling me. How not to shoot. Yeah, there you go. For me anyways.

37:14I mean, and there's a ton of different things. Like, I'm sure people could look at my form. They could look at, oh, I mean, the fact that I'm basically, I mean, I'm shooting my hunting rig. I dropped it down to 65 pounds. But, of course, I could drop my weight and do all kinds of different things to my rig in order to make this make more sense, make it as forgiving as possible. But I want to do that. Yeah. Because the whole purpose for this for me is to just work my muscles, work the, you know, work on my shot with my bow hunting setup. Yeah, I was going to say this is good. This is the off season practice that no one does until it's the fourth of July. This is the off season practice. No one does. I mean, like ever. I was going to say until the fourth of July. But, I mean, there's plenty of guys that still, they get down with white tail season. And they're just like, okay, I'll wait till turkey. And then all of a sudden, they're strings effed up or whatever. But yeah, it's good that you're practicing the way

38:14you're going to play. And I've been that guy the last couple of years. You know what I mean? Like it's just shoot only out of necessity, right? Like really start shooting heavy before the season comes along. And then, you know, try to shoot during season. But I don't. Not as much as I should. Last stand right here. Last stand. We're going to do three Xs right now. Okay. Yeah, dude. I'm pretty excited with turkey season coming up. Some of that. New bow. I won't say much about that until I got that figured out. You know the problem I'm running with. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited for a little bit about that. Yeah. And it looks really, really cool. And hopefully it'll. I'm sorry, dude. Hopefully it'll shoot really cool for you. Cooler than that.

39:15Oh, yeah. So yeah, speaking of, so your victor. We talked about it a little bit last week. And how you've got it set up for target. And so after this end here. I'll get, I'll get some. Do you have another arrow that you can just draw back with so I can. Yeah. Record. Woof. Dude, how do I let myself end on a nine? That's ugly. All right, we'll pull our arrows from the last end here. And see how horrible. Yeah. Shop for the cycle on that one. X, 10, 9, 296. Don't even care about the X count. And that's a 10, 10, 9.

40:17Wait. One, two, three, one. Two, nine, five. One, two, three, four, five. Oh. And one, two, five, six, eight. Eighteen down. I shall have 295. I have 296, so. So I did 282. It weren't for the people that come and shoot here. I would throw this target away, but they might want to start on a poop target like this. All right. 282, three, X's. I didn't count the X's. Oh my gosh. Hang that target up. Hang it by a noose. That's awful. 10 X's. All right, folks. And that is what not to do in a Vegas round.

41:17Take it from me. Hollywood did. You did good. End myself. Under the pressure. Heck, a lot better. You ended at, would you say 295? 295. Yeah. It was pretty terrible. But, yeah. I didn't expect, like, right when I woke up this morning, like, not to wake up with the loser's attitude. I was in so much pain. I'm like, I can't. I'm not a person to take town on empty stomachs, but I needed it. I heard. Yeah. So let's get down and talk a little bit more about your... You want to see my rest, dude? Errol rest. It'll shoot a lot better than I can. We'll dive a little bit deeper into that. Yeah. All right, let's check out this victor in the target static mode. Yeah. So, again, part of the price tag of this rest is you can do anything and everything with it. Cages will come off top. I'm taking off because, well, honestly, I don't even know if I'll have the clearance with my veins, but I'm only leaving the bottom on two reasons.

42:21Everyone that shoots that other company that's got blue for their main colors. Is there rest like that? Well ours can do the same. And it is kind of nice if you're running a stack. But like this, if your rest or your arrow hops off the rest, it'll catch it. But then I'm using the burger bolt attachment because A, this bow is too old and B. This, you can torque tune. We were talking about that last week. Slightly, but you can go back to that video and listen. It's completely maxed out right now. It just happens to be close where, usually it's around where your wrist breaks, but either way, that's where it torques the best for me or tune the best for me. And then here's your, what do we call that? There's a variable launcher angle. Yeah. Adjustment. Yep. In the down position. Yep. Like Rick said, so the down position, like when the blade's going down.

43:25But I've got our target static screw installed. This is the older version where you'd have to take this whole deal off. Now we have a new screw that can just go right into the housing. And then you just basically teeter-totter with a screw that's down here. And then screw up here to get your blade angle. And, you know, you're basically going off of how much arrow weight you got there. And then through the burger hole, et cetera, et cetera, that's way down the rabbit hole. But any who, that is pretty much the setup. And it will shoot a lot better than I can. Yeah. So you're like, you're driving that one screw in to the target static screw. And then you drive in the variable launcher angle screw into the stopper pin. And that now makes it static. So it can't move. And then you're running off of a spring steel blade. Yeah. I have a 12,000-splade with 8,000-spacker standard width.

44:27So I'll fit like my 23s and 27s to use like my VAPs 4-mill arrow. There's no way that'll work. Yeah. So I don't see something different. And pay no attention to the shoddy laser etching on there. That was a, what would you call it, a factory second. So we try to use those for ourselves. Yep. Still functions the same. But that's screwed up. There's something else screwed up with this rest. But yeah. I don't use production models, so to speak, on my own stuff to test it. So. Very good. That is the Victor arrow rest in target static mode. For all you target archers out there. All right, everybody. Well, that concludes this episode of the range podcast arrow loose segment. That was very humbling to say the least. And it's definitely shows that I need to shoot more for sure.

45:27Got a few things with my setup. I'll probably change. But other than that, yeah, that's about it. Make sure you keep an eye out on your local dealer. Float should start showing up soon. Anybody who ordered one on the website will be getting those out as quickly as we possibly can as well. And yeah, I don't know if you're watching this on YouTube. Make sure you hit that bell, subscribe, and give us a like. So you can be up to date on all things archery. And with that, we're packing up our bows and arrows. I don't want to worry. Yeah, we're not going to go shoot. I'm not sure. Yeah, we're just going to pack them up. Peace. Vapor Trail is now offering an exclusive discount to the range podcast listeners.
