Practice Over Placebos- There was A LOT of carbon carnage today

Hey everybody.
Practice session, getting close to 100 arrows.
And actually, as it's still running,
we had a crazy weather last night.
Tornadoes all over.
Yard's trashed.
But switched over to the Storm Trooper,
made some, today was an awesome day of practice.
Make sure you watch here at the end.
I'm actually in my eighth or ninth end,
so these were shots in the 80s.
Right here, there's that one.
I wanted to talk with you about what I did today.
30, 40's over there, 50's over there.
So, started out by adjusting my silver back a little bit,
because this bow has slightly different weight,
little bit different holding weight.
So, started out adjusting my silver back.
Went a little bit too far, worked my way back.
You'll kind of be able to watch that.
It's gonna be a time lapse,
but you can kind of see me do that.
Then I started adjusting my peep sight just a little bit.
Moving my peep, and I really did that
once I started to go to 100,
to see how I felt when I was at the bottom side of my scale.
So, warmed up, 20's to 50's.
Still shooting 50's.
I like working the shorts, and then I go long,
usually when I'm fatigued,
or if I'm starting to burn out,
and kind of having to dig deep for some good shots,
then I shoot the longest one first.
But make sure you check out this practice session.
It'll be really cool.
Got another 100 in.
Today's Tuesday, and you know, let's see.
Sitting at 228 for the week already.
So, pretty fun day.
Couple Robin Hoods too, you might see it.
What's up everybody?
Awesome day of practice.
I'm gonna show you some time lapse, and some other stuff.
It's the Bucket O'Carnage right there.
But last end, I wrecked five arrows today,
so I had to shoot five individual arrows at the end,
which you just saw, had to let down a few times.
Okay, 95, 96,
97, wait, that was 96.
What, I had five left?
95, 96, 97.
And for the last one, went for 100.
I was tired, had to let down.
I'm sure you saw that.
All right, what a perfect day of practice.
The yard's trashed.
We had some serious weather.
Six inches of rain last night.
But yesterday I had to practice in the rain.
This morning I came out,
looked at when the weather was best, and there we go.
Stormtrooper, made a few tweaks,
but what an awesome day of practice.
Get out there, reps equals accuracy.
More than placebos, you got to put in your numbers.
Good luck, everybody.
