Total Archery Challenge Big Sky, Montana 10,000 feet elevation in one of the most beautiful places in the West gear tested friendships tested Sight tapes tested. It's a great day to dice up the boys. Let's get right into it It's gonna be good One of my favorite events of the year, let me introduce you to everybody I got my friend cage cages back cages back I haven't seen you in too long. Yeah, last time was Alaska Michael, what's up, dude, buddy? Jason speaking only before on the channel and my buddy new buddy Hunter. What's up? Hunters fresh top of a bear hunt, right? Yeah, fresh off a bear hunt and he kind of got thrown into this on a last-minute deal Wasn't expecting that coming cage is like you got your bow man. You're in Bozeman already. So bring it in So we're glad to have you it's gonna be awesome. We're gonna do a little 2v3. We're gonna go and Michael Against Jason cage me So the way we'll do it is straight up match play style one point per target And then at the end the option to push a little bonus button if we need to get to that So we're gonna hop right into it and fling some carbon Whoever this points out is gonna shoot first and then that team will shoot and then we'll alternate teams, right? Yeah tip and is our shooter I would not want to shoot first here. I would not want to shoot first here So the tip points and here we go tip don't lie. Just the tip just the tip baby. Let's go, baby Opening shot 115 moose. What better way to start a total archery challenge than with a freaking deep bomb Just straight up Cage going nice in his veins my teammate today. No one better. No one does it better. I Cage golden raised in the dirt of Montana. Yes, sir. Good height. Just way right drifted right on Good perfect height little four-fletch gets a little extra wind drag. Yeah Okay, here's my teammate Jason We got a good arrow in there. Come on, baby Hunter talk to us about the strat here, but a lot of confusion going on right here This is an old sight tape new arrows. Nothing's right that little dots actually my 90s. It won't come down 100 This is estimating right here. I don't know. Is it an arrow in the air has a prayer. Yeah Kentucky windows Boom right in the belly. What was it Billy? I held left Little English. Oh It's not bad All right, we got Michael here can so they're going one up right out of the gate we're trying well shooter What's up with that? Chance at that and we're still not sorry. We'll dial it in. We got it's a rounded 77 and a half do I wish that every 3d course at home had shots this far. It's a lot of fun I've never been to attack before so Didn't really know what to expect just gonna I guess gonna kind of Hopefully not lose too many arrows with my goal this weekend Little high, right? Might have got lucky with this hill pushing me left a little You'll see the air coming sideways I got it. Well ain't going for us fun Real great I'm broke pretty good, but Was it a little right or no? Yeah this winds actually settling down a little bit for us, which is I Feel pretty blessed like no wind This is a bunch of crap dude These guys it's Hunter and Michael. It's two targets. It's a bunch of crap It's two targets two down through two and we're already scratching our way out My home field advantage Well, Michael made a great shot, you know, I was close close doesn't cut it On your last one your elevation was good right money. Yeah. Do you think that broke a little low? No, it broke low Okay, just want to thread in the needle. Y'all this is really tight. I mean 79 Get a limb I heard it hit those pine needles What are you guys getting 78 or something You haven't shot this yet. How you on it? It's a freaking the tunnel is kind of annoying That was no foam the terrible break to Little high first carbon donation Just the right art though Called it you called the limb You're tender at least maybe a 12 maybe 12 that was Jason it was a great shot That's right, that's where that four-flash helped him out that was like a little recovery off the branch into the freaking dart zone it's money Well, Mike Popped another 12. So that's a three down through three and now we're officially scratching our way out Which is good, right? You don't want to run away with it right away. Okay, Julie We want to keep people around watch until the end of the video, so this is good This is the start of a comeback and what's better than a comeback? Oh, yeah a little bit of right-hand English Not how to room to squeeze arrows in there and I got it surrounded pretty good 83 Ram through a tunnel target for anything less than what 77 No, yeah, 78 spend the least That broke a little high felt like in the back Took the branch off That was a good break to Talk about how fast you're shooting right now. That's that 300 in 21 22 feet a second. Yeah, so Matthews lift 29 400 and what green now 448 grains for a 30-inch jaw 30-inch draw 322 322. That's blazing dude. It's a laser beam Every I seen years ago right over the branch and mine just went right into it good most the times Not one this time. Thank you. Crazy. It is fast Hi, how good she busted Yeah, you see it you see it right in there Oh, there's one in there, but I think that's too deep cuz yours broke this off So yeah, no, yeah in a piece of wood somewhere on the ground here. Maybe we're getting absolutely farmed right now That's too tall. I mean, did you expect anything less? It's back Yeah, I'm just killing it and Michael yeah, this is just a Dave yeah, he hasn't missed it like a 12 ring yet Well, it's all right. There we go. Let's get him cold and move on move on what we get Stormed on 51 coyote covered by a tree so easy shot for you Easy money. Yeah, and this is Jason from bow discipline Good Hit foam and not wood It's not possible I disagree with that not being possible. It's just not It's improbable That'll go with There's nothing like holding Pulling your pin on a branch. You know what? I mean, you know that case when you put on a branch. It's the worst That was a really good There we go, finally got a good one Michael what's your strategy bro cut half a yard? Veins definitely came up on that one veins probably popped off The comeback the comeback is on we snuck one in over an absolutely ridiculous stick. This is This I don't know this guy was that small either to do He's tiny. Yeah, I didn't that puts them up three. So clawing our way back Do you see it? Oh, no going in blind boys. Can you see the target? I see it as a little tail That's about it. That's what sucks about being five foot two. I'm shooting for log. Okay dead center long. Yep Maybe maybe it's a little bit of pug I don't want to hold on to the log shot That was an arrow preservation shot That's right I think you're up there bro I'm shooting it for 38. It's a 40 yard shot Because it's real hard to hold on as vitals That felt good No, what do you think of Big Sky bro, it's pretty tough I mean you have to be on your game These are stretching it out and not used to shooting as much 80 90 100 yard shots and the elevation We don't have this kind of elevation back home in Kentucky. So what do you think about the views? Views are spot-on. Yeah, you can't complain about it. So good. It's a good time. This is my partner ice in his veins Broke I get scurred with all that wood down there man. You sure you trust it That was a great shot I did thanks, bro. It's all good What you don't want to do That's no change. Those are really good shots guys That's a tie. Yeah 1010 tie. So even though we got two in the ten, you guys only got one. Yeah Stays the same. Yeah, no change Michael's got them iron mitts. I pulled a lot of arrows in my day. Yeah, 97 with the coat All right It's long. We'll know Yeah, absolutely Top pin, I don't think so It's like right at the top of the top of the ten it's a good shot guys I was really pulling on that one. You'll probably notice that in the video Kind of mental Approach we got going here. Just looking at that little piece of whatever it is fully edge in front of the thing it's covering the vital so I'm gonna use that as my reference And hopefully it just drops right on in there. That'll do Still going on wait wait for it No, it was high at 90 I shot it for 98 and it just it was about an inch and a half over the back and it's probably still going. Yeah What's that? Yeah, I'm getting 97 7 be one of my favorite radio stations growing up 97 7 the wolf baby the wolf Ever heard that? Because it's hard to aim low here. I'm gonna Cut like two yards. Would you approve at this range two yards? Would you approve of that move? I would not Cut two yards at this range This is going exactly where it needs to go Money oh my gosh He cut two yards. Easy money Easy money sniper baby That was a great shot Money it was money. So what should we do with our cut again? Definitely not what I did Definitely not what I did. Definitely not Dude, what are you doing? Really? No way. He wouldn't do that to us. He wouldn't do that to us, would he? No way Tell us he doesn't have a sight tape and then do that to us? No way Even Steven I don't think it landed yet. You're right. I don't know if you're early. I never heard it hit Yeah, it's actually it's in Tom Brady's sighting He's quartering away I got right up in She low did you hear that Jason heard a door creak open Like a little screech like a like a door open we got a window here between the three of us We got to put one good one in there. You hit the M69. Tough shot Low Through eight no change here So pretty difficult shot. We all got kind of got kind of sucked into the low side We can't give them any more room we got to lock it in it's time to lock it in. Let's go 36 yard ram side hill and again, the vitals are covered with foliage Way left. Way left? Yep. Heights good Yeah, that's definitely a bubble shot Missed it a little bit. Just yanked it a little bit It helps anchor point, you know, it gets have something to sit on right there. That's what I'm talking about Helps calm the nerves as well Citrus Zen citrus number threes Couldn't have done it without them. Honestly. Well, we're in the sponsored portion of this video Cage guides in Montana. I guide into Montana. Yep, and I'm also a real estate agent white tail properties Yeah specializing in farms and ranches Hunter makes media right and he's been a major help today Yes, sir. So if the footage is good give him a thumbs up check out his media It's been a huge help. It's been such a huge help having people that are good with the camera Allows me to focus on shooting too. So well, we're in the sponsor segment Michael Allman follow him for some of the best shooting Jason from bow discipline channel launching soon any day now Cage is about to absolutely pump on the cage pumps a 10-year. You got a book a hundred of them. It's by arrangement Preferably, yeah Just left good height. Yeah. Thank you. Check out Michaels a hunting bow set up one of a kind title What do you call that sandblasted and Cerakoted or something? That's what it was, but he put a quiver on it So and he's and he's actually gonna hunt with it Everybody get your notepad out. We're about to put on a clinic right here. Let's go Doesn't have his yardages, but they're magically all just so Okay, so no change here a couple good shots Knocks going out. Okay bad arrow Very difficult shot and no change on in the next It's a pretty good target here. Okay, so we're We're three down This is target number ten. We have four targets left. We can go double points anytime I'm thinking this is the time To our two votes is in dude. I mean I like the risk feels good. Okay guys, so we're going double points We're pushing that bonus button. Oh I think I just saw a little quiver in his top lip This video is not sponsored by them video sponsored by these views Five point six. We have first put the handle pressure on her Phelps's Michael did you hear that? We're going double points? You heard it double points from here on out. We're locked in. We're locked in. Let's go Yeah, lots of room in there Once we get going Roses here In a sudden turn of events, we got the rain gear on we got a little bit of mountain weather my skull Mike My strings don't change I'm not No, that's not the problem. Oh, it's a problem The problem is that your strings get heavier. It doesn't matter My strings my strings are rainproof So you say that she like 85 Hold that vapor trail Good thing we put the good cameras away on her. That's right. You know, I went to look good at all That double points money sunny When the weather gets nasty is what really separates the boys Only downside is your flow. Yeah, you lose the flow Yeah, 75 would you shoot it from my 85 It's downhill let's get a cut I'm shooting waterproof strings extra fast bow 12 inches of 12 inches of brace height It's almost impossible to miss with a bow. That's nice Custom movable draw stops We need we need the rest of them to be able to catch up Okay, who's that? That's not southern hospitality is it All right, so these guys go up plus five double points, I think we've got to run the table from here on out You got in before the rain. He's lucky Starting number 11 Three targets left. So we literally have to run the table. We're down five and Down further than we want to be but I think you're up first and you're gonna set the stage with that I Call you in a week and my my bow just doesn't get on time anymore and it's money 72 yards What are you putting on God I was trying to bubble in and just broke fast That money My dude Let's go cage, let's go I feel good. Yeah, you're on fresh. I feel great. Yep. Confidence is still high. Yeah, good. Let's go cage Lean into that uphill trust it Vapor trail Did it go Yeah, it was a it was a good shot, but really good Almost 75 yards. I just don't know is it sort of drop out pretty quick Michael because the strings do it I haven't shot with wet strings yet. Mine. Mine just was I mean, are you ready? So that low shot In your shaft off Hold up. No, it's bad. It's final I knew I shouldn't have done I don't know if you're Tim there, but he said it's seen this book Unfold way too often dude. He does this to me every time we should have to work He goes it's double points the last three targets and then you choke. No, I don't choke. He just Edges me out every time Squirrels nuts, we'll take them all That puts us down three. We have a dream. What does that saying go? I came out here to do two things kick some ass and take some names and I'm all out of names It's a learning lesson for sure, right I would encourage people to come do this just to hang out with your friends But also you're gonna learn some valuable stuff no matter what just like time with your equipment in difficult situations You can't simulate that and it'll help you out come fall or whatever your season is. Oh Uphill, this is different. We haven't done many of these We're in sheep country. Apparently cuz that's what we keep getting it. I think there's nothing better than a comeback story. I Think hunters do for a complete We're doing pretty good on our carbon donations It would be a terrible time for Mike to donate one wouldn't I mean he wouldn't do that. Would he no way No way 92 ish a little bit of side hill biggest issue is we've got a nice-looking little sapling right in front of that 11 and 10 so Very nice looking sapling what we come up with you got hose. I don't know where I'm aiming, but we'll find out Very low left This should be pretty close. I'm just gonna full sand So I know how to do Really got put up in that bush a little bit Sounds like there's room to me It's low. Yeah, it's low It's so good though. I mean it's It's killing that Ram, but it's low not a breath of wind the weather just laid right down perfect time to absolutely dice a 12 Two yards two yards hot I think I got a 10 honestly It's absolutely just pipe a 12 and leave it to no question if we hit this one. We're down one. We're down one Going into the final target A little bit on the amateur side left. Yeah. Yeah, a little amateur weather's clear jack it off Fishing sasquatch dude. You ever run into a sasquatch in Montana? No I'm kidding you're shooting through a sapling, huh? You gotta aim right on it Good shooting dude You're at time to thump one in there. I'm all about it No pressure I broke high Broke high Just broke quick Breaking lines? Is that a Is that a pink and blue on the line? There we go. We're one down baby. What just happened right there. Whoo. Love that money. Look at that. Golly It's a good shot. Great shot, dude Aiming through a twig That's a dead rambo It's a great group. That means the match will be decided on the final Pressure. And we're trending The thing about our stock is it's trending. It's trending upward eh? Man that's some great shooting. 90, 93 yards. I think it's you homie What do you think bro? Last target for this contest. Crazy that this is our last target This is a bear that's like this wide at did you guys think 92? Yeah, there's a lot of tree there a lot of timber too. This is the most technical shot of the day for sure We wouldn't want it any other way would we? No. No We did not come from this far to break down and lose now. We're winners. We didn't come this far to come this far. I got a 94.4. We got a little cotton candy dream right there Flushed that baby up last night at 2 a.m. That's how prepared me and Hunter were Hard to sharpen for you. Final, final It was floating real good for a second real small target and Your pin just floats edge-to-edge my friend Joel Turner would probably say you got to level up your determination and just keep the release moving It's a real testy shot over or left It's just a tough-ass shot man. I didn't feel bad about that. It's just a tough shot I love this. Come on Bill. What are you going to do with it? I wonder if the strings are dried out You better make sure you pick the right arrow with the nut I'm just gonna stick with it. Okay. Yeah stick with what you got All right, baby find your home here find your home trust it That broke so good That couldn't have broke more in the center Yeah, well you guys can still tie it. A tie is a win for you guys Okay, I shot that for 95 and Kage's just range it for 92. So I think I I think I fuzzed that up behind those 95 Yeah, I actually probably should have had someone else range it with me thinking about that kind of wild Yeah, no excuses. You just got to get it, right? But yeah good shot and we got us we got a shooter up I mean it's in the info I mean this is a long shot. It's dropped. You know what I mean. We got a good arrow in there And we got a shooter up. Shooter shoot, right? That's what we do. That's a whole lot of pressure. That's a tiny target, bro It's a tiny target. Trust your Trust your float and just work through your shot You got it Jason. If that one wasn't, that one is. Yeah Nice shot, dude. That is not easy Shooter shoot, dude. Don't be glassing that just get your arrow up and shoot 92 on a baby bear. Michael, this feels like a bad dream unfolding at SVA right now It is beatable, I will say that. You guys in your double points, huh? I had the yardage too. The height is perfect, though. That was a quick break for you, Michael, though He's got a Zenitino in 50% of the time, every time. One last look. Posh. Very big moment. Got him. Nope. Yeah, that's right. I punched the crap out of it. Good game, boys. I think I snagged it. I think I won it. Oh my gosh. I don't know. I got around it for the first time ever. It's a bad day to be on that team. That's a rough target. That's my new best friend. Two of those things is my new best friend. You guys made great shots. Wow. Michael just freaking... Look at how tiny this bear is. Dude, tiny. Boys, lesson of the day. When you're good, you're good. Michael freaking zipped it up right there. Somehow. That was a great shot. Broke good. We didn't think that from the binos. Anyway, that's tag video number one in the hopper. This has been fun. This is a great group of people. We had good energy.
