Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Oh man, what's happening, baby?
Everything and nothing at the same time.
I was just explaining all the shit that's on this desk.
It's like everybody likes to give me something that sits here, which is kind of
cool.
Like Ed Calderon gave me this. It's like a WD-40 with a lighter attached to it.
You can fucking blast people.
Is it like a self-defense?
I don't know. He's always got these things, like cartel things.
That looks like it's 3D printed.
Yeah, I think it is.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah. I mean, it's a little portable flame drawer.
Holy shit.
From two common items.
And then I think it was Luke Caverns gave me this.
Is that who gave me this?
The Olmec head.
It's from the Olmecs.
Oh, is that what it is?
Yeah.
And then, of course, my man John Reeves has always given me these mammoth
things.
I got mammoth teeth.
Wow, I love this.
This is actually from Colossal.
But he gave me a 1911 handle.
That's legit.
Yeah.
Even though, do you have any 1911s?
No.
Yeah.
I got 2011s.
Yeah, of course.
It's a huge upgrade.
Yeah, but, you know, I'm sure it'll probably be able to fit.
Like, you bring it to a gunsmith.
You can make it fit.
Well, you know what you could do?
You could have them make one for your bow.
So, you could put the bone on each side of your bow.
Oh, I have that.
You have it?
Yeah, from Rattler Grips.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
This is another piece.
Shout out to Handsome Rob at Rattler Grips.
He always hooks me up.
Gives me those keep hammering ones.
Yeah, those are cool.
Yeah, it feels better, too.
It feels better in the hand.
It's interesting.
Like, Hoyt doesn't have a whole lot of options.
Like, Ultra View doesn't make their handles for Hoyt, but they make them for
Matthews.
Yeah.
He shoots Matthews.
But it's a nice handle upgrade.
It really does, like, the way it sits in your hand, it really does feel, like,
a little better.
Just a touch better.
Are you still putting them on your Hoyt for every one?
The Rattler Grips.
You do?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just sent me some new ones.
It feels better.
And the bone, there's something about the bone.
It's more tactile in your hand than the plastic.
Well, I've been wrapping mine with that camouflage athletic tape.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Bomar sells stuff like that.
He sells specific bow grip.
Right.
It's got a little bit of tackiness to it.
But some people think you shouldn't have that.
They think your hand should be so relaxed that it should be able to slip around
your hand
so there's, like, no torque whatsoever in your front hand.
I don't like that.
I like to feel the dexterity of it, right?
I like to have a little bit of relief in the hand in the context of, like, I've
got to have
some grippiness to it.
Just like a baseball bat or any other things.
Even all of the, like, Glocks and 2011s, I'll still do an upgrade on the stippling
and
clean a little bit more.
But I've also got giant hands for a, well, I shouldn't be, I shouldn't say I'm
small.
Like, I am two inches taller than the average Asian woman.
So I don't like to brag about it.
I don't want to come out with that right away.
It just might seem a little bit egotistical.
Yeah, but if you do anything, I think it's just, like, whether it's with archery
or anything
with shooting, you just, it just has to register with you.
It's not going to be the same with everybody.
You know, I know dudes who just can't get used to finger triggers.
And some dudes just love finger triggers.
And some guys just have to shoot a hinge.
And some guys just can't do it.
I shoot them all, man.
Yeah.
Like, I just have, so I got that dump bag now that I basically all wear on the
side.
And then I'll do the, the hinge roulette.
So I'll just like reach in there, reach in.
And then I got to shoot a hinge or I got to shoot this.
And the only way that's that you don't, or that the mix up part, you've got to
shoot the wrist strap, right?
You have to put that on.
So you can't just do shooter roulette with all of that.
But that's the, the wrist straps a little bit more involved, but I love having,
I've been using the wise guy.
I've been, ever since our last hunt, I've been only using the wise guy and I'm
used to it now.
It took, it took a while.
I was like hammering the trigger for a little bit.
Like after the thing is, it's like with archery, once your form breaks down and
then you try to compensate
because you're tired, like, I think I should just limit myself to one hour.
And after one hour, just stop.
So is that what you're doing every day is basically an hour?
Yeah.
A little bit more, a little, little less.
Yeah, but it's when it's more, it's when things go sideways.
Like I'll give myself like a few minutes break to let my arm relax.
And then I just, I'm just, it's too much compensating because my arm's tired.
Right.
And not enough, especially because the bow's 84.
Now I got the new one that's 90 pounds.
Is that what you're shooting every day?
Yeah.
You're shooting 90 pounds.
84 every day.
84 every day.
I haven't, I haven't set up the 90 yet.
It's still an archery country.
And then do you, are you going out to a hundred plus every day too?
Or are you sticking?
85.
85?
85.
It's my standard in my backyard.
As long as there's no, no one wandering around.
When people are wandering around, I tend to, I got, you know, like this landscaper,
I don't do the long bomb.
I've got, I've got, my wife is redoing this little garden house in the back so
she won't let me shoot at it anymore because she's afraid I'm going to put an
arrow through her little hut that she's making.
She's, she's actually doing all the work too.
She's got like a tool belt on and she's out there hammering away.
Oh, that's great.
And everything.
She's doing all the work.
Wow.
So she's like, you can no longer use this as your backstop because it was just
a pile of shit that I could basically shoot arrows at.
Oh, that's a bad trade.
It's a super bad trade.
Yeah, I need a backstop.
You got to fuck off.
Like we were talking about like must haves for backyards.
Like I got to, I'm not living in a house where I can't shoot at least 50 yards.
No.
I go out in the backyard.
I get my range finder.
I bring a range finder when I look at houses.
No bullshit.
Are you serious?
100%.
I've been doing it for the last like six, seven years before I bought this
house.
When I bought the house in Austin, it was a big yard.
I'm like, we're good.
I just had to find a spot.
I was like, this is at least 100 yards from here to here.
Have you ever, have you ever punched the, punch the trigger and put one out in
the river?
I guess you shouldn't tell me that.
No.
No.
We shouldn't say that.
No, I never shoot towards the river because it's kayakers.
Right.
You never know when some, because like the kayakers, they like to go like real
close to the shore.
Well, yeah.
And it's like, if you hear, ah, fuck, that would suck.
Oh my God, I'd be in such deep shit.
I would never do it.
I wouldn't.
You would be in such deep shit?
Deepest of deep shit.
An asshole like me who's always promoting archery.
I shoot a kayaker with a field tip right through the fucking forehead.
See some poor lady.
Like a unicorn running through, running off the river.
Oh God.
Oh my God.
I very rarely, I mean, if I'm shooting broadheads, I really know where I'm
going.
I don't, I don't fuck around.
But with field tips, I'll, I'll launch some bombs, but it's never in an area
where there's
anything behind me.
No.
I don't.
It's too risky.
I had, so I had an archery, little archery range in the back of my Salt Lake
City building.
Every, like, and I used to let everybody use it in the company.
And then after you've worked for the company for a while, you'd get your choice.
You'd get like a staccato or a rifle or a bow.
And then we were doing, we still do, right?
We still do a lot of better and adaptive athlete shoots and the tactical or
tactical games and
the total archery challenges.
So I've given away a hundred bows probably.
Oh, that's awesome.
The company.
Do you let them pick their brand and the whole deal?
No, no, no.
We partner, we partner with Hoyt on the last batch.
Then we partner with PSE.
We partner with kind of anybody that wants to like go in 50, 50 on us.
Right.
Oh, great.
That's awesome.
But then we'll make them black rifle custom, right?
So it's cool camouflage, a little branding on it.
But here's the downside of that.
So when you got a bunch of people shooting in the back,
I had a storage facility in the back.
There were always arrows in this like storage.
And so finally my, my, uh, our general counsel came to me.
He's like, no more.
You got to stop.
You can't shoot any more arrows.
So a bandit for everybody except for me, me, Logan, you know, Matt,
basically the people that could have either absorbed the legal fees or at least
like explain it away.
Well, the thing about archery is it's such a, it's, it's a skill that 100% degrades.
Yeah.
Like you have to stay on it.
Yeah.
And you just can't trust that everyone's staying on it.
No, it's, it's even hard for me.
If I take three weeks off, I was, I was having that, um, a little bit of tendonitis
in my left elbow.
So I took like a month off after running season and I, you put it back in your
hand and it feels almost like a foreign object.
I know.
It feels horrible.
It's, it's just gross until you have at least three or four days of shooting
consistently back into the groove.
You can't put the arrow where you want.
It's just three weeks off.
And it feels to me like the more consistent I am in off season, like the entire
year, that's the, those are the years that I, where I'm really shooting my best.
You can't just get back on the bow, like a month before you have to go hunt.
You can't do it.
I can't.
I know guys that can, guys that I grew up with that have been shooting since
they were nine.
That's what they do.
Right, but they're really good shots.
Imagine how good they would be if they did it all the time.
Yeah.
Like a guy like Cam, like he's not taking any time off.
Like, he's shooting every day.
But that's part, he, he, he takes pleasure in the pain too.
He doesn't take time off because he's, that would be relaxing.
Yeah, it'd be relaxing.
Like, imagine, just, just imagine that, like Cam Haynes on vacation, his feet
up, you know, drinking on the beach.
Is that even like a, that's not even a thing.
I've gone on vacation with him.
Have you really?
Yeah.
But when we went vacationing in Lanai where we could boat.
Yeah, yeah.
So we would boat hunt at least once a day because Lanai, you know, you've been,
you've been, it's crazy.
It's one of the craziest places on earth.
It's great.
For people that don't know, there's 3,000 people and 30,000 deer.
Yeah.
And they were given by King Kamehameha, to King Kamehameha by the, um, whoever
the head dude was in India.
He's like, uh, gave him a gift of access.
Is that where they came from?
I didn't realize that, that, that was the actual timeline.
Yeah.
I didn't realize that.
Yeah.
And they're everywhere.
They tried, they, they tried to reintroduce them, try to introduce them to the
big island.
Like, I know Shane Dorian was all pumped about it, but then they eradicated
them.
People killed them.
They said they were invasive, but.
I think they need to be everywhere they can be.
They're delicious.
They're delicious.
They're the most delicious meat.
Of the deer.
Of course.
Yeah.
Next to elk.
Next to elk.
It's like, it's for me, it's elk and then axis, but axis are the most
challenging to hunt.
They're the fastest things I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah.
They move so fast.
It doesn't even make sense.
It's like, how are you doing that?
You could dodge an arrow from 30 yards away and the arrow's not even close to
them when it gets there.
I had a female bedded at 30 and she jumped the string on her bed at 30 yards.
That, that was my first shot.
And I realized, holy shit.
Yeah, they're different, man.
I've got to up my game.
Well, i
