    I believe it is very interesting to see a man with as much experience as Tim, still is humble enough and respectful enough to come in to the situation and letting himself be taught and be a little goofy and a normal guy. I really appreciate people like this who has all the reason to be a cocky ass and is not. Much respect to you brother from one Army vet to another.

    I retired my 20yr old Parker bow last month for a Hoyt Alpha X 30". Wow what a difference. That Mathews Lift looks sexy af too. Very hard decision which one of the two to choose at the end, but I've never owned a Hoyt & she shot just a tiny little better for my own feel, so i went with the Alpha X. Congrats Tim!

    Very good brother!!!! It's always good to learn more about what we like with professionals like these guys!!!
    I also agree with you, we need to have physical contact with these guys to learn, ask questions and find out what's new in the world of bow hunting.
    I have a crossbow and I hunt in the South of Portugal!!!
    A hug to everyone!!!!
    Be safe!!!!

    Moving the site to where you're hitting. JUST like in a riflescope. I've stuck with a Bowtech Assassin for quite a few years now. I tend to re-string every other season but I spend less time behind a bow than I use to. Just whitetail season in Ks. Just filled the freezer with Pronghorn buck and doe at 558yds and 430yds, respectively, in Montana. Didn't want to be stuck just eating a gnarly whitetail buck this winter🤣

    @win300mag1 3 місяці тому +1

    Learn to squeeze and let the bow surprise you, Tim. Lock your finger on the trigger and then pull through your shot with your elbow. Take your fingers independent movement out of the equation. The surprise is your friend. Anticipating your shot can and will for most people lead to that nasty term (target panic) which is not something that I wish on any shooter but comes from the anxiety of shot anticipation. Learn to accept the pin movement at full draw and execute the squeeze through the movement and let the shot break. As a competition archer and bow hunter with 25+ years of experience, that would be my advice to you. Happy hunting!

      A lot of people are mad that the Dragon is as good as it is for a Chinese bow. I have heard the dragon 10 is up there comparable to a Matthews at a quarter of the price and people are afraid to admit it. Check out Backyard Bows channel and he admits it but he hates to say it lol

      @@TimkennedyMMA yep I agree, I just find the merger of these two obscure activities interesting. I’ve Bowhunted for 40 years and started my BJJ career 30 years ago with Mark Eccard and Rickson Gracie, back in the days when Joe Rogan would come in and watch classes. I think Rogan’s influence has brought these two activities together, very few mainstreamers bowhunted before Cam showed up on the podcast a few years back, someone I’ve followed for 20 years. Very interesting indeed, amazing how this has all come together, best of luck
