WINNING ANOTHER TAC TRUCK (maybe) Michigan Total Archery challenge
Comments are disabled for this video.
Welcome to Michigan Total Archery Challenge everyone.
We're back in the great state of Michigan.
This year we got a TAC booth,
first ever Total Archery Challenge booth.
So super fun, super fun to hang out with everyone,
talk to everyone.
But what we're gonna do is go shoot the caribou shot
for a little bit.
And then we'll probably go shoot a course later on,
but we're gonna go, it's beautiful weather.
We're gonna go shoot the caribou,
see if we can't get some in it.
We have the infamous 33 with us.
We got the target bars with us.
So we definitely have the rig to do it,
but I haven't shot this far yet with this bow.
So we'll have to go to the practice course
and make sure that I can even get clearance.
Maybe I'll have to use my little bonus pin.
So, which won't be a big deal at all.
So let's get over there and see if we can't do it.
I'm gonna shoot the big horn sheep.
Big horn sheep.
Yep.
No sight of it.
That's after Alaska and everything.
Yep, black panther.
Shoot the antelope.
Nice.
Okay, we'll do the giant mule deer next.
88.
Nice.
Mountain goat at 98.
It's pretty impressive.
We drug this thing around in Alaska for five days.
And I haven't even touched anything.
Perfect.
Which one was I?
Right there, do you know?
Little left.
There's a bunch of yellow ones in there, I can't tell.
Like left, right, perfect?
Low, right?
That was good.
Okay, pretty dialed in.
And I think we got clearance to go all the way to 111,
just aiming right on.
So, we should be good to go.
We'll jump over and shoot the caribou.
Probably will on this first one.
High left, very low, six, seven, high,
and eight left and a half right.
Really?
Nice.
Oh, dang.
You want me to come with you, Chris?
No, you're good.
Thank you.
Unless you want to take that.
The strategy of theirs is to put the target
all the way up at the top,
so when you come back, you're out of breath.
And then you keep missing.
I really might need 30 seconds to call my heart rate
back down.
Yeah.
You run up there and back and try to shoot one.
He does Jiu-Jitsu.
You can't even hit that little ultra thing right there.
Dude, you should have saw how windy it was.
It was bad.
I have video proof.
Open the book of excuses.
What'd you say?
I said open the book of excuses.
Yeah, just low of it.
Perfect height.
Like an inch, two inch?
Good shot.
Pack it up.
Really?
Actually?
Yeah.
Right on.
That might have been the fastest ever, four shot.
Nice.
No.
No pressure now.
That one might be it.
That one might be it, too.
It's like bottom line.
Bottom line.
Oh, come on.
That's like an arrow for you, right?
Just off.
Really?
Yeah.
Like really low?
Yeah.
It's like five inches low.
Touch right.
It is off.
Left.
Very nice.
Good group.
Got one in.
I don't even know how many that was.
Might have some left.
Maybe a second.
Oh, man.
No.
Line, yeah.
One's clean, one's line.
Here's his.
You got it, man.
Did you aim him in it?
Yes, for sure.
Nice job, man.
Yeah, it's full.
All of them but the two in?
Yeah, sure.
Beautiful.
Let's do another.
How many was that?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Oh, yeah, one more, technically.
I'm gonna do another 11, though.
Might as well after that.
God, dude.
Right?
Yeah, like, I don't know, seven or eight inches.
Really?
Half inch high?
Yep.
Really?
Oh, man.
Dude, that's dumb.
Gonna be left again.
Yep.
Really good group.
That's all you can ask for.
I know, those all would have been in if it was right.
This is why the caribou is incredibly hard.
Because it's like, you can do four really good shots
and these all would fit right inside the 12 ring there,
or the 11 ring.
And they're just slightly off
because it's so far that you really can't tell.
And then these, obviously, are all my bad shots,
weak shots.
I think this one was a win.
And this one, I don't know what happened,
but everything's just so exaggerated
when you're this far away.
56.
What are you shooting at?
I'm shooting at the target that Cooper says
is impossible to hit.
He wasted all of his arrows on it.
So now I'm gonna try to humiliate him.
What happened yesterday?
Quivered up.
Right in the steel.
How'd the arrows work for steel?
Arrows don't cope with steel.
Useful excuses.
His dad saw him and he was crushed to death.
That's how you keep children in their place.
Final day, Sunday, Total Rocks Challenge.
We wrapped up the booth.
We finally are done with the madness.
Thank you all so much, everyone who came out
to come say hi, buy some merch,
support the brand at Total Rocks Challenge.
You well exceeded our expectations here in Michigan.
So we got South Dakota in two weeks,
so hopefully we can meet all you beautiful faces
out in South Dakota.
But Nick and I, we're gonna run up, shoot a course.
We haven't shot fairly at all.
We did the caribou a little bit yesterday morning,
but since then, we really haven't done anything.
So we're gonna rip up, shoot the sticker course.
It's a little windy.
Kind of cold, even though it's sunny out.
So it's honestly perfect condition.
It's about 55, 60 degrees, a little windy.
So what's up, dude?
Yeah, we're just gonna have fun,
shoot the course real quick.
No motives other than try to break all of Nick's arrows.
I'm ready.
Dude, we'll do this.
Closest to center, wins a target, gets one point.
I need a win by at least, what do you wanna say?
How many?
I'm gonna go with the highest one, five.
I have to win by five points to win, outright.
So if I'm up by four, you still win.
I'll take a loser jumps in St. Clair.
The loser jumps in Lake St. Clair?
Loser jumps in Lake St. Clair
after going to Smalley's tomorrow.
Not bad.
That was a good shot.
My hand is so wet.
A little more right.
Yeah, I gotcha, but not by much.
All right, one point for me.
Also, short plug, dial, UV dial wheels.
Now available in different colors.
Nick's got the dune on his.
See green?
Black, gray, tan, to customize.
That's pretty dicey.
44.
Little low.
Same rate up on mine, you'll be good.
I was holding right there, I was so scared.
I was aiming right off of this little guy.
It was lined up just right.
Okay, another point for me.
Perfectly right in between the two, 48.
This wind is kind of the only challenge today.
Looked decent, was it?
Or you got room?
I got room to play.
What'd you have for yardage?
What do you mean?
You're locked again.
You're still up.
I just moved your sight.
I did.
Again?
I had a weird air flight again.
Hmm.
Or in the insert.
Oh, yeah.
All right, it's looking pretty wet for Nicholas.
We knew that was coming.
Three and zero.
Rest of the targets, if you can.
I'll step back like 10 yards.
That makes me feel really good, thank you Chris.
I think it was high left.
Oh, yeah, high left.
Not bad, still left.
All right, let's take a couple shots.
70.
How far was yours?
Well, when it stops being windy.
Yeah, that'll be your green flag.
A little green flag.
Where'd it go?
My bubble was not right when I was releasing it.
Hey, Nicholas got a point.
We got three, two, one.
Nick got a point.
This will be a pretty fair fight now, I feel.
10 yards further.
Yeah, I'll take every yard I can get.
12 sounds better.
I still got a one by five.
Unreal.
This is where they need to have the cone.
Also, I don't condone this.
We're the only ones on the course right now.
We're closing the course down.
Do not do this if you shoot extended ranges and stuff,
but sorry, Sean.
We're having some fun.
I hit it.
It didn't really look like the best arrow play.
I think I hit three flat.
I hit him in the guts.
I think the wind was maybe ripping way down there.
Bonus points, you get it.
If you beat me in this one, you get two points.
Can we start a GoFundMe for arrow donations after this?
Sure.
It said 94?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Oh!
I don't know why I shot.
I was aiming right at the tree.
That was awesome.
Here we are.
This is the winning shot.
Big prize winning shot.
You won.
I had more fun.
And you guys definitely had more fun when I shot,
seeing my arrow go into that tree way back there.
And over there.
So it was a win, win, win, win, win.
We got four to one.
Mr. Nick Pruitt has one point.
Easily could've got another point
if he made the gap of death between the trees.
Here we are.
That's five points.
Nick's in danger zone right now.
Don't call it a comeback, baby.
Describe today's course in one word.
Winning.
Here we go.
Point number six.
Man, the winds are whipping up.
You got a little bit of room.
Big sheep I just shot.
Super happy about it.
We got him.
That's the tune.
Now we're gonna let him go to the wall.
That's a wrap for Michigan Total Archery Challenge.
Hope you guys enjoyed.
I ended up winning,
but I think we're gonna jump in Lake St. Clair
anyways tomorrow.
Nick did a valiant effort.
And thank you again to everyone
who came and stopped by the booth
at Michigan Total Archery Challenge.
We're gonna do South Dakota Total Archery Challenge
here in about two weeks.
And next year we're gonna be full force
at Total Archery Challenge.
So thank you all for watching.
We will check you in the next one.
