Dude awesome!!!! That makes my heart happy for real. I just know how lost I was a few years ago. And how many different videos I had to watch to come to a conclusion of what these things are and what they do. So I'm glad this was helpful. So as a newbie are you hunting this year or just shooting a bow?

I think both are awesome by the way

@@walderman55 I definitely think I’m going to dive right in. Or try too anyways! Haha! I’ve hunted all my life, but got my first bow 3 months ago. Feeling very confident out to 40. Shooting weekly and making improvements. Hoping to take a doe this year and see where we ride from there.

@@walderman55 dude I would love to chat more about this!

@@ag.wheeler dude take the dive. I hunting with a bow my first year of actually shooting a bow and first year hunting and ended up getting a nice one. So I'm all for it! Make it happen! I was on the first come first shot. And a buck was the first thing I got the chance at after about 1 month of hunting. So if you are good at 40 a 20 yd shot from a stand will feel super easy man. And with your history in hunting! You are golden! And man hit me up on Instagram. Its Alderman49. I'd love to continue the conversation for sure!

Dude thank you! I legit appreciate it!

Dude thank you! Means a lot!

Man I'm glad you think so. I hope it helps out.

Dude I'm so glad I'm not the only one. It's crazy to reflect on hunting stories. First time struggles are real

Thank you.

Man! That, fora lack of better words, warms my heart. I'm glad I shared this video, because I honestly almost didn't. Even if you were the only one that connected with it. It was worth it. You are definitely not alone. Keep shooting. And keep being open to a safe degree that is. I'm sure you know what I mean. I have to ask, what bow are you shooting? And do you have a public range you go to?

@@walderman55 I shoot a Bowtech Diamond Edge that some dear friends got all set up for me about 8 years ago. I practiced for 2 solid months, we went on a hunt and I got my harvest, a Mule deer- one of the biggest moments of my life! They had kids, moved and life got busy. I just this month picked the bow back up. I found a public range and am doing the work, I want to learn and share everything I possibly can, it really is my calm space. I hope you keep up with the videos, I really enjoy your perspective and thoughtfulness on the subject.

Always great to hear like minded people!

Dude at the end of the day if the index works no need to change. I changed because I tried the goat at the range and I fell in love and spent way to much money on it. But looking back and seeing how I got a 2 for 1 I wouldn't change it st all. But again too level guys use index as well. It's all a personal thing. So don't let UA-cam make you think you need index. Now....all that being said 😂 I think there are benefits to a hand held over an index butttt that's just me haha. Be great man.

@@walderman55 Nah, I hear ya for sure. If you think about this like hiking...do you like tent camping or using a hammock? Well, I'm so new...I won't know until I try both! lol! Keep up the great work :)

@@theprepperdad I like how you put that. If and both have positives, you just have to find a way to make it work for you. So shoot the crap out of what you have and learn as much as you can along the way. Second hand information is great. But nothing beats learning it for yourself. And thanks I appreciate you thinking that it's great work. lol. I'll keep doing my best.

Dude thanks for a complement as big as authentic. Because that's definitely the goal. To keep it all me. And thanks for subbing. I hope to keep this going for awhile. It's a fun creative outlet that surrounds a personal passion of mine.

Oh yes yes and yes! I definitely agree with everything you just said. But something I learned as well with target panic when I first started Archery was kind of the lean into it more approach. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone. But I had two back to back seasons where I was locked off target and couldn't hit a big or small dot for the life of me. And at the time I didn't have words for it. But for me I kind of sat back and asked my self what was going on. And of course the quick answer was "I want to make a perfect shot" second I said "aiming so small and the pin covering up the dot is scary and frustrating." But once I settled my mind and got over the idea of not being able to see the dot I wanted it hit and actually getting happy when I can't see the dot and trusting my pin was where I wanted it was the moment I was able to truly work through my shot no matter what. Not that it made me Kyle Douglas or anything. But it was a simple reminder that I have what I need between my ear to fix my issues when it comes to mental lapses. Not that you asked for all of this. But I tend to personal work through issues and figure out the why rather then avoid said things that causes bad out comes. Especially if that same thing can also aid in my own personal growth.

@@walderman55 I think a lot of archers will never conquer target panic. I honestly would love to try hypnosis or a sports psychologist.

@@chads4556 do you feel like your have target panic currently?

@@walderman55 I’m honestly not sure, I think it’s maybe sporadic if that’s possible. Like I’m trying to master the focusing on the target blurry pin technique, but know I’m not doing it perfectly. I am accurate, but still am always working on my shot.

@@chads4556 Dude that's the truth I think for us all. So many possible points of contention. But personally I think it's dope you have one main thing you are working on. Because it's so easy to get lost in wanting to fix it all at once. But sounds to me you are on it. If I could be of encouragement, won't let the boogie man that is "target panic" get to you. So much of it is simply being able to focus on what you want to instead of being concerned about what distracts. Which then leads to being locked of. At least that's my working definition. You sound pretty solid so just trust your shot and keep killing it!

Dude so it's the next few days? Did you try it out? How did it work for you?

@@walderman55 Yeah man I did it the last 2 nights, it’s definitely a good tool to add another challenge into the shooting! I’ll be using it from here on out!

@@Nye57 dude that's sick. Best of luck on the season! Go fill the freezer!

@@walderman55 looking to cash in Sunday morning! Good luck to you to bro!

Yes I definitely hunt. It's the reason I spent the first good bit on a bow because I fell in love after my first year of hunting. But I'm not sure I'll be recording this year. I actually recorded some shots last year but that was before UA-cam. So idk I've been thinking about it. But if I'm honest. A full freezer is my first priority. And content is second. 😂 😂 😂 But who knows I may change my mind.

@@walderman55 thanks for letting me know i would love to see some content i’m just curious what broadheads do you use and arrow total weight? thank you

@@reagncook196 I'll do a video on it once I get them built. I'm actually building then this weekend and broad head tuning. So I have a full weekend ahead of me.

@@walderman55 id love to see that

Dude thanks I really appreciate thst. Means a lot to hear.

Thanks man that's the plan. Same to you. Season will be here before we know it!

Yep I've heard of that. But something about doing that makes me feel like I'm not setting the bow uo right. So right now I think I'm going to stay with the d-loop. What's your method of choice if you don't mind me asking?

I actually just went to a clear fiber so I can use a light to use blue red and green. And I'm curious about if one works better. So I'll definitely check out the blue on the light target and see if that helps out

Dude nice what makes you say that?

@@walderman55 same last name.

@@tomalderman7598 welp. Maybe 🤷🏾‍♂️

Dude thank you. I like to think I think about this stuff.... Lol but definitely not a golfer. Just a strength coach that just got off work lol 😂 But this Archer stuff is fun to figure out. What do you shoot?

@@walderman55 LCA has some good tutorials on tuning as well. I've been an avid recurve hunter since '77. Dipped my toe into compounds last year. I chose a draw cycle that was close to mimicking my 50-60lb recurves. (I have T-Rex arms, ie shorter draw lengths) So the RX7 and the RX7 Ultra is what was chosen with the HBX cams. A long stout and smooth draw cycle for me. Keep up the good work while enjoying Archery. It is addictive for sure.

Dude nice that's so awesome! Hoyts are so very very nice bows for stew. So did you hunt with your recurve? And thanks for the advice.

Dude I love to hear it! gotta get it done however you can.

@@walderman55 i no if i mess up ill have to replace a window. So every shot has to count 😂

@@CowboyOutdoorz yep! Takes your mental focus to the next level

I don't. Tell me more. I'm not sure I know what you mean. Are you talking about adjusting cam timing to make the top or bottom a little out of sync?

@@walderman55 tiller tuning is where you add turns in or our of your bottom or top limb bolt to play with the deflection of each limb. You can start by adding 1/4 turns to whichever limb and see if it makes your bow hold any better.

@@BrodyWonch got it, Nope I do not. Thanks for the information though. I may try that one day for sure though.

Thank you!

Dude I feel that. What where you shooting before hand? That's super annoying it took that long to get used to it. I respect you working through it though and figuring it out. I have heard so many guys just giving up and swaping it and taking a loss on the bow.

@@walderman55 I was shooting the Mathews DXT.. Absolutely loved everything about that bow..I guess it was the marketing that sucked me in on the VXR lol..I gave the DXT to a young man who wanted to get into bow hunting last year..I wanted to give him the opportunity that my hunting mentor/best friend of 40+ years gave me 30 some years ago..that man passed away Feb of 2024..I don't give up very easily and wasn't about to lose a bunch of money on the bow..good luck with your channel..I truly enjoy your content

@@howardkuhn2793 dude I have a DXT as well. I love hearing that about you passing on the love and opportunity of hunting with a young man like someone did for you. I'm sorry to hear about the passing. That's never easy. But also super dope that he lives through you by you Loving on others they way he loved on you. That's what this life thing is all about when it's all boiled down. Keep up the shooting and thanks for the encouragement. I wish I had more time for the channel but I'm glad it's been positive for someone. 💪🏾

You already know!!! 💪🏾Those that want to shoot find a way. I knew I was not the only one haha

@@walderman55 what state are you in?

@@josephhenderson7044 TN my guy.

@@walderman55 nice. Where headed to FL from upstate New York

@@josephhenderson7044 Oh dude nice, what part? That's dope! I'm originally from Tampa FL.

It's a foam mat kit off Amazon me and my buddy went in together to buy the foam and I cut it and out it all together.

Do you have the link. Ive been looking for something like this

@@CowboyOutdoorzi do here you go. Sorry it took so long to get back with you. This is what me and my guy baught. It's pretty costly. But the hope is that I can flip them she's make it last a long time. I also used ratchet straps and rand scrap wood to compress. You will find the right tension to make it just right for you and your bow for easier arrow removal. www.amazon.com/dp/B074DSXG7G/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_NFB1BR434AS7HF0906ZY?linkCode=ml2&tag=williamssugge-20

I honestly don't remember the measurements. But I'm in the process of fixing it back up. So when I do I'll get those measurements to you if I remember. And I used a tone of scrap wood from construction sights and a horse stall mat for the protection of the back.

Thank you! I appreciate that!

Haha you know. Just trying to do a thing!

It's actually cut up floor mats between some wood and a ratchet strap. It's actually what I just made in blue. It's nice because you can flip the pads and keep the target life for a long time.

✊🏾

Dude thanks I appreciate it for real. I want them in the dot though. Just gotta keep working on it.

Due thank you very much! This means a lot and definitely is encouraging. I’ll definitely do my best.
