Unknown Archery Challenge!!

It looks like about 45 yards today. Rangefinders don't need them. We're going to do a little unknown distance challenge. Me and the guys, we're going to select teams. It's going to be a great day. See if we come back with as many arrows as we started with. I wouldn't bet on it. Okay, teams at random. How are we picking these guys? Right now, we might be friends. In a second, we might be frenemies. We were never friends. We're just going to spin an arrow. What happens when you point? What happens after it points to somebody? Oh, that'll be my partner. Okay. Yeah, and then the other two will be partners. Makes sense. Okay. So one good spin. One good spin. The, whatever side the arrow points to. Point. It was meant to be. I'm pretty sure we're undefeated. Joel and I? Yeah. Today, we're doing it on camera. So it's going to be awesome. Give us another spin to see who selects the first target. Okay, here we go. Oh, no. They do. That's Jessa. That's them. That's me. It's probably going to be 45 yards, dude. Rules, just so we're on the same page. One point available per target, which is based on scoring rings. One point available per target. How does it work if both teams get an arrow in, like, the 12? No change. No change, okay. Unless we go to the closest to center, which we might do at the end. Okay, but as of right now, we're not closest to center. No. Grazing doe. Justin says grazing doe. It's got scoring rings that we can't. Ah, that is nice. Grazing doe, okay. And then we alternate who selects the shot. So they get to select this shot. We get to select the next shot. Partners are allowed to discuss what they think of the yardages. So these guys probably had a little chit-chat, but I can't capture everything because they probably don't want to know their top secret stuff. We chit-chatted. Oh, they chit-chatted. Hi, this is Justin Grimes, fresh out the shop. Oh, like that. I think we're more like, uh, more like in there, dude. And because you shot for what we first talked about? I added a little. You added a little? I'm still a little low, so I think that and a half. Okay, all right. All right. So this is Drew Howerton, almost undefeated on the channel. Almost. Fender washers custom on his bow on a Revolt SX80. And this style of play is the only play I've lost at. We're here to change that today. Spot hog wise guy, light trigger, cowboy boots, flannel, vested out. Oh, too high and right. All right, we got room. Oh, they don't have a chance. I would have been a little lower. Oh, perfect. So I can aim right off you. Yeah. Honestly, you guys want to be right between our two arrows. Yeah. So what was our release choice today? I went with the hinge. Maybe my only friend with a larger release collection than me. Actually, we got to compare sometime. We should. Yeah. I bet you mine's bigger. We'll whip them out. So you're a little high. Do you think you made a good shot, Joel? I made a great shot. Okay, good. Do we account for all four arrows in this score somehow, or it's just the best arrow of each team? It's just the best arrow. Okay. Yeah. The best arrow counts towards the team score. You made a good shot, Angel. Very good shot. Man, wouldn't it be something if I 12 ring the first one? Swipe a point from these guys? Start strong. Wouldn't that be something? Oh, yeah. Better knock on wood, man. Oh, one light down to roll too. A little high left. How'd you feel about that? Like a little high left, probably. Good deal. And it's 41. I shot it for 40. Joel, what'd you shoot it for? 42. And I kind of knew Joel shot a little high, so I kind of used his number. I shot it for 40 and a half. Okay. How about you? 39. Good. A little low. Good. That's a pretty good guess. Pretty good guess. The whole team side of things makes it a little more educated, because if your partner makes a shot that's either high or low, you can judge off of that. So that's why this... It makes it fun. If they had a good shot. Because we're amateurs. We're rookies. Yeah, if they had a good shot. These guys can shoot. Look how much I'm pushing in there, dude. I don't think it's in there. I'm going to lose a lot of respect for Justin if he calls this out. The interwebs are going to have something to say about that. That's in, dude. Yeah, that's in. That's in. In... Are you looking at the right arrow? In your dreams. Are you serious? You're not giving that to me? Yeah, that's good. That's edge. This one's an 11, though. I'm just kidding. The line is so faded right there where your arrow is. It's close. So, first target, no change. Even Steven. Can't call it out. You have to walk up with the expectations of the archery team. Yeah, you have to call it out. High goes to the runners. You're spot on. You're getting real good at this. Good shot. Yeah, if anything, I think it's just a smidge less than that. And we say smidge less than that because, you know, we got perpetrators here. We got perps and perverts. Kind of close here. Oh, we're recording. Right on. Wind the shot, Justin. How do you like your beaver, Joel? Oh, not as furry as this one. Clean? Clean shaving beaver. Whoa. Oh. I think I'm going to shoot a smidge under you. Okay. Just because I think I tend to over judge small targets, right? Is it over or under? I don't remember. Over. Right, yeah, over. A little left. A little left? Yeah, just a little left. My elevation was good. What are you guys laughing at? Oh, I hit your arrow, dude. You got sucked in? What do you think, Drew? You got a firm yardage? Yeah. I'm golden. Golden. We did. We already conferred. Oh, you conferred? Yeah. That's true. A lot of room in there, Drew. What the? Oh. Small targets are hard to judge, huh? Hmm. I don't think I made a great shot. Oh. That's a terrible shot. I mean where it hit. I mean what we talked about. Yeah. I think I would go longer, but not a lot. Longer? Okay. I think I would go longer. Oh. Longer? I gave her some clicks. Oh. I think Justin's shooting a goat, but he has a hinge. Did I have it? Oh, boy. You're a 10? I'm just a frog hair out. Oh, that's as much of a 12, 11 as there was a 10. All right, all right. These boys go up plus one. Justin made a great shot. And on to the next. Okay, here we go. Drew thinks he's gaming us here, but he's getting gamed himself, because he's shooting the heaviest arrow. So if he's off, he'll be off by the most on this long shot here. 69. Oh. Downhill ram. Pretty long shot. Drew shoots a heavy arrow, so if he misses by one yard, he's not even on film. All right, go. Oh, my God. What was that number? About that. On the rock? You're right here? Yeah. I don't think I'm 11. You're right. I think I'm right. Yeah, I'm right of it. No, dude. Height is like perfect. Felt good, though? Yeah, that felt right. Were you standing on the rock? I was standing right behind it with my left foot, and then I had my right foot up on the hillside. I'm pretty close, though? Yeah, yeah. Oh, a little high. The trick on this one is just to double the distance from the bed of it. Oh, it's further than that. What double? Look at this. I know, pretty close. What's up with that? I think that's a nice number, generally speaking. I think if anything, it's a couple yards less than that. A couple yards? Okay. Yeah, but I'm not positive. You know, you can shoot that if you're confident. Not confident in that. Way high? I broke really good. What do the birders say? I think we might have been bamboozled. It's not 69. Got the number on this one, Timmy? I hope so. That's more than six yards, dude. You think? Yeah. Game time decisions. Wrong shots. Yeah, it might have broke a smidge low. Let me get the yardage for the people. 62.5, 62.5. Dang, dude. Joel shot it for 68. I shot it for 60. A little over 63. Damn. Well, there's always that thing that could happen at the end that I'll tell you guys in about. You know what I'm saying? That's a little surprise. Well, bleep me out. It's totally edited out. None of this is going in. Looks like this one right here makes me and Justin plus two now. Plus two. Joel had really good concentration on top of it. Yeah. Where's Yankem? Yankem and Crankem, baby. Very upsetting. Yeah, you should go more. A little over the red, I think. Ooh, that might be a little hot, dude. I like that number. Yeah, I want to test out. Wait until you see where my feet are. The ring's real small. Not a lot of air left and right on these rings. Good, there's a smidge left, but not much. So you think I should crank over your number? Two. Joel picked us a little, uh, there's kind of a tree in the way of your aim. A little higher degree of difficulty. I like where strategy at, being my partner. We're exactly where we want to be, aren't we? Is there anything better than a come from behind? Yeah, nothing. We are exactly where we want to be. That was such a good break, Joel. So I probably shouldn't have added yardage then. Why not eat? Like what I'm looking for, I'm looking for an initial guess, a midway point, and then I cut it in half. And if the math doesn't math, then I'm looking at it again. But Drew and I are... Are you using a little Pythagorean theorem? Oh yeah. Little man Pythagoras? Yeah, we're, I think we're pretty good. Let me hide this number that I got here. Oh, one let down rule. One let down rule. Didn't get gusted or nothing. Oh, a little hot. That's a tough shot, dude. I got scared of that tree. It's a very important shot, Drew. The momentum could swing. And go full, go full number out there. Oh, a little last minute decision-making. Yeah. All right. This is the footing. Yeah, we have very nice footing. We are shooting right over the tree. Oh yeah. Or you can kind of like... No, no. I can lean. I can lean as long as my feet are where they are. It's hard to lean though. That's why I let down. Yeah, good luck. It'll throw his third axis off. It's fourth axis too. Drew Howerton. Howerton Electric. Oh, that's running way high. All right, range it, Drew. 43 maybe. What is it? 41.3. That's what I'm talking about. That's why we were high. That's what I'm talking about. What do you think about that? What do you think about that number, man? 43. And Tim talking me out. But he's always one high. And you shot it for 42? No, I shot it for 44. Yeah, he talked me out of my number. Very good shot. Very good. Poor caddying for me though. He caddied me poor. Oh, but you took our point, I think. Who's big D? That's me. Yours truly. We thought Joel snuck a 10. He's an 8. I'm a little high. So no change. No change. Drew's got that smug ass look on his face. That's a penetrator. I thought, I thought... We would have known a 314 grand arrow. Not speed. I thought it was momentum, not speed. Three dollar arrow and a little bit of speed will get you what you need. Thank you. Gold tip. Put half the target on it. Okay, you guys' choice. Tunnel. Tunnel shot. Aiming in the weeds. Kind of it is all sorts of ---- in the way shot. Yeah. I think Drew's an advantage because he's got a little more arc than some of us here. And I'm taller. That nicked grass, didn't it? Dude, yeah. And it's there. If that ain't there, it is. No, you're aiming a few inches down in the grass. Yeah. Is it? I can't see anything. Yeah, it's tough, dude. You cannot see where you want to hit at all. Oh, I got a good idea. You got to aim in the bushes. Oh, wow. Justin bushed us up here. Yeah, this is... It's very unkind of him. This is a bush league shot. Justin's usually a little nicer than that. Something's got up to him. I heard some grass. I love the shot, y'all. It's way low. Was it? In his foot. Okay. I should give it a little... Trick's not to hit left on this one. It's felt low. I'm just going to go find out. I'm going to go find out. I shot 45. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's 45. It's great. Dang. It's great. Dang. I shot it for... I can pick that. You already dropped it. I shot it for 38. Whoa. Nice shot, Joel, man. Joel got the middle, middle. That puts us down one. We're just clawing our way back. We're right where we want. That's right. Is there anything better than coming from behind? Like this? And then you get another one? Keep rolling. He'll put a third one in. There, that's among them all, man. Did you feel that? I did. I just felt the momentum swinging. Could you feel that? Do you feel that, Justin? No, we had the yardage. There was no momentum. Joel just pinwheeled it, man. You can't take it away from him. Timmy's trying to shoot. Oh. And he's very good at it. Excellent choice. We're losing daylight. We're going to do four for one. So no advantage for the partner really knowing what the other partner shot. And we're just going to line them up. Shooting the line. I got a number. Oh, I better find it. Yeah, the thing about this is I know exactly where this one is. Very good shots. Very good. Let's go check them out. Dang, boys. Justin absolutely smoked it. Good shot, dude. I got a 10, so that puts them up plus three. Is that right? Two. Yeah, we're back to two. Oh, plus two. That's perfect for what's coming next. Two. Was this six? Everything could change. Was this six? Yeah. We got a little cougar shot here. Cougar is one of our favorites out here. Just a favorite in general. We got to line them up because we're running out of daylight. So this is going to be another four pack. Little four pack. I leaned that way. Justin can't hit 11 on everyone. All right, let's let her up to each other. You guys feeling good? I'm ready. You ready for a three, two, one? Yep. Get some good shots in there. Okay, tell us what you shot it for. I shot for 35. 35 and a little. 35.7. I got 35 on that. Perfect. Okay, we'll go check them out. And all it has to do is catch an edge. Oh, if you look at that closely, Drew, it's on the ridge. It is very close. If you can't call it out, you got to call it in. Man, dude. I think we give it to them, man. Yeah, I think so too. And I think when in doubt, here's what we've done, Justin, is if it's a when in doubt kind of thing, then we just go closest arrow to center gets the point. Well, the better archers are going to come out on top. Joel, we're exactly where we want to be. We're exactly where we want to be. What's better than to come from behind? Nothing. All the game plan is to win this one, and then we have to go do something. Yeah. Because it would be a tie. Yeah. Game plan is just to continue to shoot better than these guys. Like we have, I mean, the score doesn't show it, but we have. Just keep hitting 11. We've out executed them. They've, you know, luck is sometimes a factor. And honestly, the longer we play this game, the better odds are. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Your luck's running out. Yeah. I'd rather be lucky than good on any one day, for sure. But your guys' luck is done. Done dried up, boy. Not on camera. Dude, I brought half the target out on my arrow, this old gold tip. This is a family friendly channel. You know what I mean? All right. Final shot. Hit the subscribe button. I'm doing my best every week to bring the best videos I can. We're going to let it rip, try to get this thing tied up. And this is the final shot if we don't. So here we go. I want to aim high. You're going to aim low. Yeah. Perfect strategy. I might have smoked it. Range it. Unless Joel's sitting right next to it. 51. I got 50.3. Yeah. I got 50.7. What'd you set it for? 48 is what I shot it for. I shot it for 40, 52. It's way better than 57. All right, all right. Okay, that's my partner. He slung it a little high. All fives, no change. Means they got the win today at plus one. Little unknown. I really want to know what you thought about this video. Shooting unknown has been super fun out here with the guys. We've been doing quite a bit of it. I will definitely bring you more if it's something you want to see more of. I don't think what you were doing on that last one was archery, buddy. Any closing thoughts? You all smoking stuff? His 2024 is unsmeared right now. That's true, yeah. 2024, I'm undefeated. You're unsmeared. I have that one blemish that you'd like to bring up, but that was 2023. That was in the last year, man. Old stuff, so. Gotta bring it. You gotta bring the heat. Good night out here with the boys. It's unsmeared. Nothing better than slinging a little carbon. Joel and I, we will be seeing you at Total Archery Challenge Big Sky. He's one of the crew making it. It's going to be awesome. Michael Allman did not come out tonight. He's scared. Josh Jones did not come out tonight. He was also scared. Something about weather equipment or something. We're here. Subscribe to the channel. We're going to sign off today. Appreciate you guys. We'll catch you back for the next one.
