The best part of my Monday is this podcast
Same!
Same
I love your podcasts. You help me immensely! One of my favorites you have done is the baby bird series with Tim. What I really need is a series of videos that talk about improving your hold on target (how holding weight, stabilizer weight, etc., effect hold on target).
Yes! This would be great!!!
Everything JJ has to say is gold, and Tim is getting really good at mining for it.
Omg Josh you are bad a$$ for helping that guy on the course with that press and bow! Luv u 2 Tim!!!! 👍🏻
And extra points for still lighting the fire. Total dedication !!! ❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Josh, machinist here from canada that is having issues with my epsilon on my bowtech ss34. I'll make a bracket for you the way you want!🙋♂️👍 shot a quad hdx on my first bow and had to have it replaced for failure... don't like the string into string to drive it also.. give me a shout . Work in a nice shop that can do them the way you want! 🤘🤙👊🎯
GREAT JOB , U GUYS ARE SMOKING DAN THE FITNESS MAN. KEEP IT GOING
Hey guys. I love all the knowledge nuggets that are sprinkled throughout the podcast. Makes you not want to miss any of it. You are definitely helping me with my shooting.I never thought about a shot process before. Now I force myself to slow down. I used to just sling arrows down range. I shoot a wrist strap, and I used to slam the trigger as soon as the pin was on target. Now I wait on the pin to slow its movement and squeeze the trigger. And my groups have shrunk considerably. I actually split 2 arrows within a 3 day period last week. So y'alls advice has cost me $40 already. Lol. Well worth it, though. I do think the 2 Hamskea 1/4 inch peep sights I just bought are a touch too big, but they're better than what I had.
I had the same issue with a Hamskea Primer I put on my bow. I drew back once I was in the treestand and the screw came loose. The whole rest fell apart. My arrow fired through my sight and took the level off. They refused to replace it. I now use a Trophy Taker Smack Down Pro and have had zero issues.
My Vapor Trail has been a tank. Best rest I have ever used. I don't get the QAD appeal. That cocking bull crap is a lost opportunity waiting to happen. I would go back to a Muzzy MZE rest before using any cable driven rest.
You guys do a great job.. Ty
I was going to buy a hamskeaa for my new bow build this winter and after hearing your problems I can’t do it. Mountains here in Alaska are just too unforgiving for a rest failure. Too bad I was looking forward to trying that rest. As always great content! Super informative as usual!!
Same here
I ran a button head cap screw through the backside of the forward berger hole and then ran the setscrew of the Epsilon into that. Hasn't rotated yet, hopefully I can avoid the problems Josh had.
Good morning from New Mexico. I have never commented on any social media but F it. I'm a big fan of all you guys Josh, Tim and Dan. Love that you guys started a new channel. I have learned so much from you guys and appreciate the knowledge that you're sharing. Also appreciate the discount code timc. Just bought a oneex thumb clicker, and that code was nice. Thank you boys.
100% agree about the Hamskea Mounting Bracket being longer to fit 2 holes aswell as more set screws.
I have put a 5/16 grub screw into the second riser hole so the set screw has something to grab onto.
It actually fit right inside the 5/16 grub screw.
And doesnt damage the riser either.
Thank you guys
2 things, could you please release an audio version for those of us who want to listen while driving but don’t/ can’t have the video going. 2nd, I know it’s a long way for you to go just for a 3D shoot, but the Pennsylvania Bowhunters Festival happens September 15-17, we would love to see you guys there. This festival is well over 50 years old and my family and I go every year.
Love the show, but just curious as to how you guys are sitting next to ripping wood stove in the middle of July?
I’ve had that same thought
Me and my buddy had the honor of waiting for a couple hours for the Friday afternoon lift shut down from the lightning. They ened up shuttling people up in pickup trucks and we got to shoot in the monsoon and lightning. My buddy had his Hoyt blowup about target 21 so make that at least two bows that did that. As first timers it was interesting for sure, took the "challenge" part of it to whole new level with the conditions. Definitely looking forward to next year, now that we know what we are getting into. Great podcast chat!
Engineers work really hard to make what you tell them to. For most companies, that's what marketing tells them. They get sensitive on feedback because the specs they build to are not their ideas, but how they build to that spec is what they are proud of.
MFJJ if you do consider doing multiple TAC's next year i hope one is out East. I'd probably go out of my way to show up at that one! Great Podcast guys!
I wish I knew as much as josh knows about archery about anything
great talk guys
Really liked the Trophy Taker Smack Down rest back in the day. Joe Bell, when he was editor for Bow and Arrow Hunting magazine, turned me onto it. I also tried a QAD, but it broke on me and wouldn't stay locked in the up/cocked position. Then I got a AAE DOA rest and loved it. That DOA is still on my 2007 Hoyt Vectrix. These days I'm more of a trad guy so I'm no longer familiar with what all is out there for compound accessories.
I live in Texas and I for one want to make a trip to the shop and shoot out there. One day I hope to make it out to a TAC event.
THP was like that for me. My wife and I met them at NWTF in Nashville, walked away, she said “I’ll never buy you any merch from them guys again!” They couldnt care less what I had to say. Steve Rinella & Cal was Totally different. Great Dudes and so nice and down to earth. Just BE A GOOD HUMAN
The best solution would probably be to not allow filming OR just allow filming in the early morning/late evening hours.
Could you do a review of the Vaportrail MI8?
Had the same issue at Big Sky TAC with my Hamskea rest. The more moving parts the more opportunity for error!
I saw the CBE Micro Defy vid - I'd be interested if you or anyone at the shop has given it a good field test
Ditto
Usually when I wake up this podcast is ready to go. But it wasn’t lol. I was thinking “is it Monday?” Lol😂
What are your thoughts of VaporTrail rests?
Well, I have been eyeballing the epsilon arrow rest for my Evo EVL. I do spot and stalk in northern Indiana. Lot of heavy brush in my area next to rivers. I was in the fence for QAD ( because literally everyone has one). Or the epsilon ( unicorn product lol). I just want something quiet for hunting. Reliable in all weather. And drops away. Currently I'm running a whisker, not had any issues in the past with it? Just looking to get a bit more accurate. As the whisker I feel can be a little inconsistent at times. Also, side note! I had a primer on my bow 3 shots through paper tiny horizontal slide,tiny elevated slide ( bullet hole) whisker required twists in the yolk to remove slight right tear in paper? Couldn't move rest and get it to go away. Awesome show thanks
There’s a company I came across from a friend called Buck Rub that makes an interesting rest with magnets and arrow containment.
Could you put a coat of blue loctite between the rest and mounting plate. Not just on the screws.
Another great podcast guys! Keep them coming!
Another good ones fella's I listen to two podcasts y'all are one.
Man these are great! Thanks guys.
To MFJJs point the epsilon with the universal bracket there are three set positions for the dovetail. The reason that there are three different positions is because different manufacturers have different riser thicknesses otherwise, instead of having three different epsilon rests, they would’ve had seven different total and people having to measure the riser depth or shops would have to “know” which other option they need with the universal bracket
Great chat again. There’s a new event this year called the Rokman Games. Hopefully it’ll be put together and ran really well. It’s going to be July 28-30 I believe.
Gravity has the exact same effect on an object regardless of weight your arrow dropping less is a function of the speed not weight. The drop time is the same your arrow just covered more ground in said time
Have any you guys tried out that new bodoodle influence limb driven rest that locks up like a qad i have one ordered to try but haven't received it yet i had bad luck with hamskea so back with qad til i try out the bodoodle
Would love if you guys could make it out to Michigan's next year.
Dam dudes it's 105 here in Alberquerque, New Mexico n u guys have a fire shit..
Loving the new podcast stuff
Hey Josh you've developed your own stabs inserts and field points why not a podium rest
Hope the R.L.A hats made it there..
Thanks for everything
Great content as always!! I would buy a MFJJ Epsilon modded rest in a heart beat…. Definitely do not like the way the universal bracket mounts up to my VTM
APA does arrow rests. They are pretty simple and look pretty reliable. There's also BoDoodle.
Good microphones
I think if hamskea had the integrate option, most people would go that route vs qad.
what hamskea would you recommend for something other than a Mathews ?
Really would love to hear your favorite sight manufacturers and companies that challenge the big ones
What about the old school Trap Door Rest??
Below 60k feet it's not gravity that affects the arrow it's air density.
Josh make a rest, I'd but it.
Limb driven
Hamskea really make the best rest I've had the qad and trinity and trinity wins hands down
Great podcast and good honesty. I wish people would have listened about this joke of a rest. That thing is so poorly engineered that a shop has to correct the defect that people are all paying for. They are not good Engineers at all if they put this crap out.
When my buddies and i shoot 3d events the way we do it is like Tim said who comes out with the same amount of arrows wins the day.
Love these podcasts... ive watched more of these then joe rogans
And help people you do. Cock vane and weak part of arrow spine up, did wonders for my consistency. Then throw in the Onnex Click, best groups I have shot @ 50+ yards ever, so thank you.
Question, what is your opinion on determining proper arrow length?
Have you thought about shooting a R100 shoot
hey i just want to say it was my girlfriend and me who took the pic of mfjj and dudley. i saw the group of mfjj, dan, jocko and dudley so we all got to talking and thats when the comparison started. if you would like the pictures i can send them to you. just let me know how to send them. i think we took 3 of them
I just now noticed the chats are about an hour long. Shees, time sure is relative. They always felt far shorter.
I shoot moat the 3d courses the local club host and we only count carbon donations to the desert out here in AZ, it make the shooting so much .ore low pressure and just for fun, wish more groups just had 3d not serious out here
Question for your brain. Can you push and pull too hard when starting the aiming process?
My new life goal is to visit S.V.A from Massachusetts and shoot some bows.
Speaking as an engineer withe over 30 years of experience, there are only 2 kinds of engineers. Those that will only listen to another engineer and those who are will listen to anyone. One out of four are the first kind. Hamskea clearly needs to find one of the other kind.
Just ask Joel Turner about his idea about a thumbbutton with a click. Stan has an engineer of the right kind and Stan's going to profit nicely because of it.
A better Hamskea mount!!??!! Shut up and take my money!
Engineers having an ego? That's absolutely absurd /s
Wow MFJJ is the first person to say 3d targets the dot is in the wrong spot so are you saying all the practices you do your training your self to hunt wrong man is he smart I want a 3d target that shows real vitals that you can see what you really hit inside we need some MFJJ real vital 3d targets
