This Guy Might Change Your Life Elk Immersion Day 1

Guys, welcome to El Commercio. We got Joel Turner. Group one, you're with the podium archer, Corey Gilbert, Bill Chester, Luke Stopper, Jeff Hoffman. We will get you your money's worth and then some. That is what I can guarantee. What I can't guarantee you is that you're going to stroke a big bull this year or any of that, but I can tell you we'll give you the ingredients, the recipe, and all the steps it requires to get that success. We did trick you at any experience camp we do. We tricked you. I don't really care if you ever kill a elk. I care that you leave here more knowledgeable about the art of archery and all the technicians, how to execute proper shot mechanics, but more importantly than all that, shot control. You can control your bow. You can control your life. Thoughts are not thinking I don't know how many Septembers I have or you have, but I want you to get as many as possible. I want you to amrap elk hunting. So in order to do that, you need to take care of yourself. Lastly, I am honored to have Josh Jones here. This is his home. I think he's one of the most knowledgeable dudes and has been working on bows longer than anyone. I trust him. You trust a dude with your bow, that's saying a lot. He's here to educate you, teach you. He's a gracious host. I do want to give him a one quick round of applause for hosting. Then there's Joel Turner, arguably the best instructor I have ever seen in life, and it's annoying to try to instruct alongside him at a camp. He will hog the spotlight. He will be the limelight. He will be what you go home and tell all your friends about. It's Joel this, Joel that, and rightly so. He's the best teacher you will ever have. So come with an open mind and be prepared to have your whole game elevated because he has completely changed the way I shoot a bow. He will do the same for you. Then we have, oh, I know, the Bedlam Kefaru, and I'm going to put a bunch of cool stuff inside of it like Dubinos from Vortex. We got a hip quiver, some swag, and a mag view setup, which I'll have, we'll use that, and then I got a bunch of custom elk shape edition Montana Knights. So this is kind of like your raffle. So every day we're going to start off with a cold boar, do or, it'll be do or die. So it'll be the elk and the squatch. Now you don't have to take the shot on the squatch, but the elk's worth one name in the hat, the squatch is worth two. So you'll double your chances and grab two arrows. Let's go. I didn't hear no click, Casey. Get off my range. He's in there. Get out of here, Pete. I already see it coming. Oh, there it was. The old rattlesnake. Does that got a click in it? Okay. Make me proud. Ah, click banger. I haven't seen one person use your release ring. MFJJ watching you. You got Joel Turner, you got Jeff filming you. This is filming, this is filming. A lot of pressure, right? This is going to get you closer to what it's like when you shoot an elk, okay? A lot of you are going to give up on it, and Joel's going to explain what that means to be able to, but you're welcome. You can't get this every day. Yeah, this isn't really to be a dick. It's really not. This is for you. You can't get this. Take advantage of it. I'm being a dick for you. Oh, from the roundhouse. That was the Jean-Claude Van Damme. Are you going to be able to sleep tonight, Joel? This is like a nightmare. Oh, look at his little fletchies got halfway up his arrow. Yay. And then you go punch it on a trigger. Yep. Man Crush didn't even bring his bow. Let's go. Let's go. Keep it going. Yeah. Group one, Matt Cook. I don't think he's here. Josh Blodgett, Corey Gilbert, Bill Chester, Luke Stopper, Jeff Hoffman. What else we got? Control. Control. What else we got? Breathing. Breathing. What else we got? All of those things are a result of the ultimate skill. They're not the ultimate skill itself. You're missing the most important thing. To shoot a controlled shot, you first have to know what skill are we chasing? And you're going to breathe out all the way. When you get done breathing out all the way, you hold your breath and you hit the timer. Here we go. In all the way. Out all the way. Hold it. Hit the timer. When you have to re-breathe, hit the timer again. Everybody re-breathe? Yeah. Okay. Thoughts aren't thinking. Thoughts are what you hear. Thinking is what you say. When your thoughts got louder than your thinking, you had to re-breathe. Okay. Thoughts have no instruction. Thoughts have no strategy. So when you drew back an aim, you're like, oh my god, I'm so shaky right now. That's a thought that has no instruction. It has no strategy. It cannot solve a problem. So if you find the volume of your thoughts has increased, you have to increase the volume of your thinking, which is your voice. How are they doing? They're good. Nothing's blown off yet. It's been 40 minutes. Job number one, draw back an aim. Job number two, address the trigger. Job number three is to make the decision. Here I go. Because the decision, remember, the decision increases presence. So you want that. You want your presence increased as close to the movement as you can get it. That's why it's in the sequence is job number three. So job number one, draw back an aim. Got it. Job number two, address the trigger. Got it. Job number three, here I go. Job number four is concentration. It's the how of the mental game equation. Draw back an aim. Okay. Got it. Fingers on the trigger. Got it. Here I go. Because that's what you're not saying. So if you don't make a decision, your presence isn't high enough to concentrate, right? I need crazy slow trigger movement, right? So when you're talking yourself through it, draw back an aim. Okay. I got that. Now I'm putting my finger on the trigger. Okay. I got that. I got a real light pressure on that. Okay. Now I'm going to say, here I go. Here I go. And now I'm going to talk myself through this 10 times slower than normal pressure increase by saying, right? Okay. Tell me everything that's going on in that head of yours. Not enough talking. Come on, man. Here we go. Okay. I want some crazy slow work. I want 10 times slower than that. How many of you have heard of visualization in archery? Who's heard of that? Visualization in just about anything that we do, right? What do people visualize in archery? Huh? That beautiful mystical flight of the arrow, right? You watch it just going right in. That's none of your damn business, right? What you need to visualize is whatever the problem is, which is usually the trigger work. Okay. So what we do to visualize that, so get an arrow out. Okay. Step back just a little bit. Okay. So come on over to this side. So what we're going to do is not blind bale shooting. You are going to draw back your bow and you're going to make sure that you hit the bale somewhere, right? Then you're going to take your hand away from your face and you're going to look at it. Okay. And then you're going to address the trigger. Okay. Then you're going to say, here I go. Then you're going to go until it goes off or it doesn't. It's none of your business. Okay. Okay. So draw back, make sure you're going to hit the bale. Okay. Okay. Now pull away from your face. You're going to have to come down a little bit. There we go. Okay. Now address the trigger. No. Yep. Address the trigger. Here I go. Here I go. Stop. Pull. Pull. So see how aggressive you were that? Yep. That's what you keep doing. Do it again. Two inches travel. The only thing that's going to change is how fast I'm going to trigger. It goes all the way through start to finish. As soon as I start a speed, speed stays the entire time. Yeah. Okay. My mantra doesn't change timing. My speed doesn't change timing. Everything's the same the whole way through. The number one reason why you shoot bulls and don't find them is because you stop talking during your shot. Okay. So we just had lunch and then they had to shoot a controlled shot with me to prove that they are worthy of going on the 3D course. They're going to go up on the 3D course in groups. While they're up there, they got to do at least three commentary shots. Bodie and I'll be roving amongst them and it's nothing but controlled shots on that hill. If they punch a trigger, they have to self-report to me or Bodie and there will be pushups involved. If for some reason you punch a trigger, you better realize why you did that. Probably because you stopped talking and you have to come to, you have to find me or Bodie when we get to you and you will have to apologize to either Bodie or I in a very heartfelt apology. I want to feel it deep down in my heart and it will be, no, I'm not a hugger by the way and it will be on film. Your apology will be on film and it will be on YouTube. Okay. So if you don't punch the trigger, you're good to go. Why would you ever punch a trigger? You know exactly how to control your shot. Use every shot to make you stronger instead of allowing every shot to make you weak. Well, the good news is I was four for four on targets. Foam. Bad news is I already owe Joel an apology. Did you go four for four on punching the trigger? No, I think I was one or two for four on punching the trigger, so I definitely gained momentum. Did you shoot the moose weight on there, Bodie? Yeah. 128? Yeah. Smoked him? Missed my smoke show on the ram. I'll just cut to the tack shot. I don't want to wait. Oh yeah, there you go. How was that full draw on a bear? Yep. It's coming right at me. Yeah. High wind. Two or three guys in the world could have made that shot and it wouldn't break, it wouldn't break, it wouldn't break. I was like, you get a blank and break and I broke it and I apologize. Yeah. Well, apology accepted. It is a kill. You are safe. Thank you, Bodie. I blew that one. So your thoughts got louder than your thinking. The wrong thoughts got in my head. Well, you can't control what thoughts get in your head. You can only control your thinking. It's got to be louder than your thoughts. No, we're not hugging it out. What do you got for me? I'm rushing through the end of that squeeze. Why? I need to be louder in my head. So you were doing it down there, but not here. I'm having some good ones, but I'm definitely having some jumps. So when you have a good one, I'm trying. Trying is not strong enough, bro. I do know what it feels like and I do know what it sounds like in my head. How are you doing it? Bulldog in my mind. Yeah. Here I go. Yeah. Start to squeeze the blood out of the capillaries. Okay. Squeeze. Okay. So maybe instead of just one word, you need to have a conversation. You can hear when it hit the ringing frequency and when it was off of that. So it's something that you got to kind of find in your call. So you'll build up the pressure and then finally it will change vibration range. This is the cows. I get set. Feet are set, arrows on, releases on, ready to roll. Then I hit him with the bull calling cows bugle. Short, raspy, no chuckles. He's going to bugle back to you probably. And then he's going to start coming towards you. And as he's coming towards you, he's going to be working slow. He's going to be walking slowly because he's trying to find a tree to rake. When he's coming at you, he's probably going to stop and rake a tree. Okay. Just like in the human being world. When you got a dude and his wife and another dude on the other side of the parking lot, he yells at her. This guy decides to come across the parking lot when there's a shiny new trash can in the parking lot. What's this guy do? He kicks the crap out of the trash can. Ready? Hey guys, MFJJ here. I'm guest star of Elk Shave today. I got size 15 feet clown shoes. Do you want to just finally retire and go right into the old folks home?
