Joe Rogan Experienced #1499 - Aron Snyder

what's up brother good to see you man we finally did this yeah yeah good to see
you I um I had been pestered about four million times or when you're getting on
Rogan's podcast I'm like why don't you ask Rogan I don't I don't know so when
you finally asked I'm like whoo-hoo I was excited I feel like I've made it well
so many people have asked me when I've worn your shirt this people out what is
this shirt this Rhino shirt what is that that's Kofaro that's your backpack
company and because I've worn this on the podcast people like well when are you
gonna get Snyder on when are you gonna get Snyder on oh yeah yeah I'm sure that
probably gets old I um have to respect the amount of people that how many times
you've changed your phone number in the last ten years multiple yeah keep it
moving yeah gotta keep it moving I might have to copy you and I've got one
tenth of
the following you do I just it's hard to keep keep up and people I'm surprised
how
sensitive they get when you don't respond to them and it's like they get angry
yeah
and I'm like man I've had guys like I know you're not that busy like really you
don't really know people get real weird with that kind of stuff when they want
something you know it's like there's some people that'll text you and then if
you don't text them right back they'll send you question marks like question
question yeah come on man yeah it gets uh it's weird trying to I little than I
know where I would end up in life compared you know we're kind of where I
started from and then now what's it's funny um my wife she knew me in we met in
oh seven didn't have a phone no computer lived in the woods slept on a thermoreste
air mattress you didn't have a phone or a computer in oh seven it was bad I you
know
what I think I might have got a flip phone right around that time frame um and
I was
sleeping on a and this is a no bullshit story she'll tell you I had gotten
divorced and I kind of made this you know do whatever I got I wanted to hunt a
lot
get out in the woods a lot so I slept on a thermoreste air mattress in my you
know
you bring chicks over there like what the fuck is this you know I just had this
you
know 24 inch wide backpacking air mattress I slept on that and uh just save you
know
money for whatever hunting getting in outdoors and then uh she and I you know
screwed on dated for a while and we were apart for several years and we got
back
together she's like who the fuck are you like we're in Walmart they're like
Snyder and she's like is that a friend of yours I'm like I have no idea who
that
is and she because she skipped all that time and then I'm marketing and I wired
in
all the time she's like uh are you a different person a different body because
I was not
different acting she just you know she she knew me as the low-tech dude that
just was
anti you know so because of your podcast like and that's probably what and then
Gritty Bowman before that yeah yeah all that stuff forums and you know whatever
all that
different stuff uh just got well known and then um yeah went from there well
that world
that world of uh outdoor enthusiasts and backpack hunters is such a rabid world
the guys who are
really into that for people who don't understand it's like if you combined
ultra marathon running
rucking and hunting together yeah it's kind of all those things because it's
you know we've talked
about it on the podcast before and I know I've brought you up before but this
it's um that world
is it's the combination of athlete like I don't like when people call bow
hunting a sport
because I think it's more of a discipline it's a weird thing to call it a sport
because it's not
like there's a game going on it's it's you're hunting an animal yeah but it's a
discipline
but it also requires athleticism and requires the kind of workout that you know
I mean if you're
going to be able to make it 15 miles into the backcountry with a 40 pound pack
on you have to be in
insane shape and you got to be able to get out with an animal on your back in
multiple trips it could
take you several days like the amount that just a taxing effect that it has on
a human body so the
guys that are into that shit when they run into a guy like you that's legit
they get very rabid
it's crazy it's crazy and I mean there's that well I would say um cam kicked it
off right he was the
the uh not the you know people get sensitive about that cam was not the
original but cam was the
original that everybody knew and he made a book too yeah he's got a great book
well and he was the
guy that um you know going back like he was the first one to promote backpack
hunting with a platform
like I'm not the first stick bow guy right I'm just the first stick bow guy
with a platform you know
what I mean like I'm the the first dude that shoots a recurve that you know has
somewhat known where
for people that don't follow hunting let me explain you Aaron got too good at
shooting with a compound
bow which is probably one of the hardest ways to hunt so he decided to shoot
with a fucking
like a medieval bow let's talk about how that got started so I was uh I was I
was you in the
fact I made fun of stick bow guys like I was bad like I was truly mean to him
like somebody come down
you know so for people to understand when you go to an outdoor range you've got
one long line and
you've got targets on the far right which is like the five pound weights at the
gym and on the far left
you've got the 200 pound dumbbells that's a 100 yard bail so I'm over at the
100 yard bail shooting a
Reinhardt 18 and 100 120 and I would have stick bow guys come down to me and
tell me I'm unethical for
shooting that distance and I would be like you can't hit the bail down there at
10 yards you're at
the the chump side what are you giving you know me shit for any it got to tell
you you're unethical
for shooting at a target yeah you're practicing at that range like what were
they it was weird it was
weird and why is that that people want to do that they want to tell you you're
what you're doing is
wrong ah I had a human nature I guess and yeah I ended up doing a podcast
talked about uh you know
god forbid you break down mathematically right you you can break down the speed
of an arrow and the
accuracy and you take a guy you know shooting whatever 290 feet per second how
long does it
take his arrow to get to 80 yards how long does it take an arrow to get from
you know 170 feet per
second to 35 yards so I kind of evened all that up and said well here's apples
to apples oranges to
oranges this is it fuck I got hate mail I mean you're a horrible hunter you're
using your ability
instead of hunting skills you know to shoot and so I was like fuck it I sold
everything I had every
compound every side every arrow I didn't want that temptation and I'm like I'm
gonna shoot it up
we'll see right I will see how good I can get because I never shot a stick bow
so you just because of people's reaction to you you decided to go to a recurve
bow
100% which is for people don't understand the difference so this can be uh
absorbed by people
don't hunt the difference that when you have a compound bow you have a site on
a compound bow
that will allow you to scroll out you could roll out to like so my site is set
at 30 yards that's
where it's normally set at but you can go all the way to 120 yards and what it
does is it it raises
your pin so it changes where the pin goes up and down and the pin is how you
aim so you can get really
accurate see if you're a guy like cam haynes I mean he shoots at 100 yards all
the time and you know
he can get into a small group at 100 yards john dudley the same thing it's very
accurate whereas with a
recurve bow there's no site you're doing it with the point of your arrow and
you're you have to
practice much more and it's like throwing a rock like you get a like if you
throw rocks all the time
you kind of get a feel of where you can throw that rock yeah throwing that rock
was a lot harder than
I thought it was going to be let me tell you um so I'm very uh goal oriented
and I I at a problem
which is much I don't I'm not very good at losing and I'm not saying I'm a
spoiled loser
I'm psychotic when I lose at something like my wife will tell you I'll go to a
tournament first
thing I do when I get home I'm having her film me breaking down things so I
thought well
we're gonna see if I can if these people are right I'm gonna I'm gonna find out
I'm gonna do nothing
but trad and so trad meaning traditional archery yeah and uh so I I'm lucky
enough he fall tom clumb
right he's like the yoda of yeah traditional archery so I go down there with a
wad of cash and I'm like
and they've got several hundred recurve so I'm like hey I'm gonna shoot a stick
bow guys and
they're like they've seen me shoot a comp and they're like cool let's let's get
you set up and
I'm thinking I gotta get hand-eye coordination this shouldn't be a problem fuck
man I'm like
I went from shooting 58 x's on a five spot on average to I can't hit the target
at 20 yards
and I'm like oh this fucking I've only shot a recurve bow a couple times but I
did it recently
in Hawaii like uh last summer and uh they had like some range out there and
they had uh recurve bows
that you could shoot it's amazing how difficult it is to hit something if you
don't have any experience
doing it yeah well and I I was lucky because I had that whole family there to
help me right so they're
you know it's like you have in Dudley and you know I they took me under their
wing and they're
explaining this and so I got what I thought was good pretty fast which 40 yards
with a stick bow so far
um but I hadn't hunted yet you know and so then I I go out and I don't know if
you remember I shot
that black bear and uh you know I'm within 40 yards of it for 20 minutes and in
my mind I'm you're gonna
you would be so dead if I had my compound I just couldn't get a shot and I
finally squeaked it in
missed it at like 18 yards and I'm like Jesus Christ Snyder would look so
luckily and Tom had told me
this he said you're gonna get two or three shots an animal they don't they don't
hear the bow
and they don't landed by its feet it kind of looked around and I'm like oh I'm
not gonna miss you again
she got it on the second shot and uh I'm like ah this isn't you know I can get
this figured out
do you have any qualms about hunting with it like how long did it take before
you felt ethical enough
to hunt with it well I hunted within three months did you feel did you feel
like that was a smart
move or do you feel like you rushed it well let me I was psychotic shooting 10
hours a day like I was
shooting constantly so if in I think I was fine because I had the coaching I
had the help and I had
accuracy I could hit I mean I was doing well to what I had to compare to around
me I was like
okay this is good so I didn't feel like I went into it unethical like I couldn't
hit what I was aiming
at but I didn't have experience and I mean you look at knowledge and wisdom
right knowledge you're
reading about it wisdom you're experiencing it well I thought what I knew from
shooting a compound my
hunting skills would be enough and they were I ended up shooting I don't know
11-12 animals that year
but fuck man it was like every time I went out I was learning something new and
I had to totally
change my hunting style when you think about it from a perspective of someone
who's a non-hunter
they they question why you would want to shoot a bow and arrow in the first
place because they think
that that would be less ethical than using a rifle like if you wanted to shoot
something you should
use a rifle you could kill it quicker it's better to go from that to a compound
bow it's like why are you
doing that you know and then they realize like oh you can actually be very
accurate with a compound bow
if you have practice and if you learn how to do it correctly and you're
disciplined but to take it
another level and to go to a recurve like that's that's whe
