Video Summary
AI GeneratedArchers from Spokane Valley Archery compete in a \"random release challenge,\" using equipment drawn blindly from a bucket. Playing in \"best ball\" teams, participants must adapt to unfamiliar release aids across various distances, blending competitive scoring with a lighthearted, social atmosphere and mutual coaching.
A little pre-game hype. We got one stop to make and then we're gonna go find everybody.
As it sits today, I am 0-3 on my own YouTube channel in these archery challenges.
That is unacceptable. It's time to change the game. We're gonna mix it up, have some fun,
make a great day shooting with everybody that puts up with my shenanigans day in and day out.
You get to meet everybody from Spokane Valley Archery today. This is the full cast, the full
crew. We're gonna have a great day, shoot our bows, and make our way around the range.

enjoy the video, and let's make a day of it.
Going down today, Josh Jones.
Well, if you cheat.
No cheating.
Owen, those are for you.
Awesome.
I'll borrow them here.
Thank you, sir.
You're on a helicopter.
I'm on it, baby.
You like it so far?
So far, so good.
You know you can do a helicopter with more than just a release.
Oh, you can?
Bust these things open, dude.
This is fun, guys. We got everyone here. We got a big group.
And I'll tell you what's going on in just one second.
Is it good?
Yeah, it's in the dot.
Where it's supposed to be.
I'm gonna hold that for a second.
Hold it.
Release in there.
My release in there? Oh, I know what you're doing.
Shit.
Nobody's gonna like that one.
Pop it in.
Hey, pop it in.
Liam, there's a chance we'll be all right.
Come on, drop your release in.
God, these are a lot of fancy releases.
You're gonna kill me, Tim.
That's true. There's gonna be some ones that I'm not gonna be able to have.
Like you.
You gotta get dental insurance.
Equally apart from each other.
So here's what we're gonna do.
Team game, best ball style.
So the highest arrow counts.
11, 10, 8, 5.
And we're gonna do a random release challenge.
So we're gonna pull a release out every time.
We're all gonna shoot the same release.
Any questions about that?
Oh, man.
That's not bad.
Well, yeah, like if they pull a hinge, we're all shooting that hinge.
And then we'll move to the next target.
We'll move to the next target.
Yeah.
And we're gonna spin for teams.
This is no one's crossbow bolt.
Whoever it points at, you spin.
And whoever the end points at will be your partner.
Give it a good spin.
Oh, I didn't say shoot me.
I knew that was coming.
All right, hang on, hang on, hang on.
I got a big deal, right?
What, like this?
He didn't want me to partner anymore.
Just like this?
I just wanted to kill you.
That's what I just did, and I about killed somebody.
I think I'm wearing glasses.
Rookie, let's go.
Also, whoever he hits is his teammate.
Oh, I see, okay.
I'll take him.
Nolan.
Very fitting.
Hey, the fuzzy quirky ones are together.
Make a circle.
Now, those are actually pretty good teams, I think.
That's fair.
That's pretty fair.
None of it matters when we're shooting some random release.
You have no idea where it's going to hit.
Nolan and I are obviously the favorite.
Hey, look at my tab in that bucket.
Wouldn't that have been hilarious?
All right, let's head to the range and pick out the first target.
All right.
First target.
We'll have Ashley pick the first one.
Here's the deal.
You're just going to...
I know, I might peek on you.
The first thing your hand touches, you're going to grab.
I agree, you can't reach your hand around.
You touch it when you pull it out.
No funny business, all right?
Okay, just going straight in.
Yeah, go ahead.
Not even feeling, can't touch around.
You're good.
Just look the other way.
Pull it out.
Yay!
Whose is that?
That team shoots first.
So Jess, right here.
Okay.
You're at 40 yards.
All right.
Home turf, home release.
New home turf.
Whitetail.
We have a little bit of benefit of the doubt here.
Whitetail buck, right?
Yeah, whitetail buck just to the right of the T-post.
Right there.
Ooh, son.
You ever shoot one of those?
When I started.
Got that foam, dude.
All right, so how do we determine?
This part sucks because I have an open hook that opens one direction.
This is a dual even, so your left to right is going to be kind of hefty.
Excuse the start, Bill, then here we go.
Just be aware.
A little disclaimer.
If your release opens this direction, however far off I am left to right,
you probably ought to try to hold that.
Just shoot a freaking 11, dude.
I don't know which way it's going to go where I would.
Josh Jones.
So if your hook opens this way, you're probably going to hit right.
Foamish.
I'm just going to aim at your arrow, see where that goes.
Not a bad idea.
Yeah, I like that.
This is so weird.
You about hit my arrow.
All right, then.
Should have went the other way.
That's my partner.
Silky red beard.
The beard's red, the hair's not.
I slapped the ever living ---- out of him.
Call that, uh, what do you call that string combo?
The lucky charm special?
I can't say it.
Call it what you would call it, Nolan.
Call it what you would call it.
No, I'm good.
I want to know.
We're not going to let this go.
We need to know.
I'll tell you.
Hey, you're all twisted up, Bunky.
I'm going to help you out here.
That's my partner.
Let him shoot.
I wanted to have an advert pole when he's trying to make the release go.
You look very similar to campaigns.
Oh, son.
I can shoot this thing now.
Good job, dude.
That would be why.
I told you.
Is it a hair release?
I don't know.
I just slammed it like I was married to it.
40 yards.
This is the shark?
I mean, it's not super light, but it's light.
Where did I hit?
Was that good?
You're low.
I know, right?
You're low eight line.
Let's see how this goes.
Ash-ba-nosh.
I already told Tim I was going to kick his ass in the grass.
Once you wrap your finger, it's pretty much going off.
Look at the sweet bow she's got.
It's nice.
Not too bad.
Yeah, we never get to see Justin shoot an index.
Oh, son.
Is that everyone?
Team Jess is going to have a 10.
So who's the other arrow with Team Jess?
Luckies.
That broke your nock.
Yeah.
That Timmy?
That's me.
Okay, so Team Tim has a 10.
Everybody else has eights.
Oh, son.
Nolan, what's our actual team name?
The Flaming Banana?
I was going to come up with something really peppy here.
Don't get me canceled, guys.
Drum roll, please.
Drum roll.
Sweet.
He's a homer.
Josh Jones, break it down.
How far?
Well, it's 44, but it reads out about 41.8 on the rangefinder for the angle.
And what's this release again?
This is a Stan Axis.
Stan Axis.
And you like it so far, right?
Well, so far.
I haven't shot it a lot, but I like it so far.
Yeah.
That's right.
And it's a pretty steep downhill.
That's how you break them down, dude.
Not much bust to you, dude.
I was going to go through that.
Yeah.
I really was.
But everybody started chuckling.
There's a slow chuckle, too.
That was hard.
This is not the same one.
This is the other one that I opened.
It feels totally different.
It's like it's not even my release.
Is it a little firmer?
It's not anymore.
No, it's positioned wrong.
Perfect.
What was that noise?
That was the steel.
Was that wood?
It was like the rebar, the pipe in his back of the target.
Because he had hired me.
That's cha-ching at podiumarcher.com.
Yeah.
Another arrow.
Back slapper 4000.
Throwing it.
You want me to shoot first?
You want to shoot first?
I don't know.
He handed it to me, so we'll just roll with it.
I like it.
That's my partner.
Nolan, who's your favorite YouTube channel currently?
Bob to support.
It's Bob?
Yeah, it's Bob.
It's Bob.
Very nice.
Let me give it a seven.
Decent compression.
With his beard glowing in the sun, dude.
He punched the ---- out of him.
Big dog coming up.
Really?
That's done, right?
Yeah, you're good.
And I pull back?
Just pull.
And don't hit that thumb until you're ready to send it.
It's a pretty heavy thumb.
Oh, ----, dude.
How do you anchor, bro?
Oh, that changed my draw.
Get in your peep.
Oh, sure.
Pay attention to your peep.
That was the slow-mo we're looking for.
That's a flinch.
Yes, sir.
For those at home who wasn't sure, that's what a flinch looks like.
All right.
Antonio, mental warfare, that's one thing.
Come on, Bob, man.
No pressure here.
Still hitting high.
So if I'm hitting high...
Is that everyone?
That's everyone.
Okay, I forgot you're recording.
Oh, that was fun.
The one the closest to center.
Oh, that's...
Oh, sorry.
The light was getting me right.
It goes back to...
That's not...
That's a 10.
That's not an 11.
In my world.
I'm sure you'd call it in, though.
But I've seen the ---- you call in.
Five.
Justin's a 10.
Tim, Nolan.
This is Nolan, right?
10.
Zero.
We're going for low score.
That's what happens when you hit the pipe in the back.
That's called a mushroom tip there, boys.
We'll pull the insert to see if it's still straight.
Joel got my pizza.
Here, I'll carry your boat.
You can eat a piece.
I appreciate it.
I gotta move the thumb.
45?
The thumb's in the way.
Can I get one?
Yep.
All right, this is Jay Grimes.
Pull it.
Yank it.
Give it a yank.
Yep.
No feeling it.
Did you fiddle it?
No, I told him to witness.
I was watching how much money he touched first.
Are you sure you didn't fiddle it?
No fiddling.
No fiddles.
You got a giant mosquito just like smammered on your forehead.
What do you think about this release, Justin?
Is this a Stanley again?
Yeah, this is Liam's release.
Oh, this is Nolan's?
Perfect, I like it.
49 to the front?
49 to the front.
A little side hill.
Oh, nice shot, dude.
Get to actually shoot a traditional release.
Called a medium, medium light maybe.
I don't know.
Is that okay?
No.
Looked good.
What'd you say the urge was?
49.
Don't know where that went.
How'd it feel?
Oh, good.
Felt like home.
I at least hit it.
Please don't break it.
I like that release.
Okay, and then back to fire?
Yeah, then don't touch it until you're ready to shoot.
I'll try not to.
Hey, it's foam.
I hit it, I hit it.
Have you shot already, Ash?
I haven't, no.
There you go.
What's it at right now, 50?
49.
49, nice to do it.
Got it, Ash.
49.
51 and a half.
I was right there.
Everybody keeps moving back.
I started at 49.
Look at this one, it's got three, it's got an emission clutch on it.
See what Dirty thinks of my release.
Good shot.
Very composed.
Good shot.
Pretty heavy.
I'm trying to pull through it more.
Not enough on the button.
This one's going to go.
The button truth.
Maybe that's why I have target panner.
Punch it?
No, I'm just going to get heavy.
The preload?
It's all about the preload.
Little red.
Signature follow through.
See who this is, Antonio, and that's Jess.
So we're an 8.
11.
It's a double 11 up in there.
Ash and Justin?
Uh, 10.
Liam, 10.
Or the baby bird.
Baby bird.
I hear baby bird a lot.
My math is solid, Tim.
So Justin and Antonio is at 18.
Tim and Nolan is, they're at 31.
Ash and Justin are at 28.
Ooh, on our tail.
And then Josh and Liam are at 23.
We got some stuff developing here.
I know.
Ash has got a YouTube channel.
Yeah, y'all guys should check me out.
It's a lot of archery and lots of family YouTube stuff and just kind of getting out there.
And so you're cruising up on 1,000, right?
Yeah, I'm close to 1,000 already.
Yeah, which is kind of wild.
But it's coming along, learning new tricks, tips and tricks from Tim here.
She's just kicking it off.
Let's get her over 1,000.
That'd be amazing.
Yeah.
This is our stag from 61.
Got it.
Stay in the man.
Again.
With the Stanley forefinger?
Stanley forefinger thumb.
You got thoughts about a forefinger?
I don't mind it.
Good shot, dude.
Tiny high, but good shot.
Yeah.
Nice shot.
It's tiny.
He's getting eaten more than me.
That was Bob shaving his head.
Don, yeah, you want to think twice about putting him on the pod.
Yeah, we got to be careful about that.
Good shot, dude.
What you got, dog?
62.
Hit it.
I hit it.
There we go again, folks.
Right?
It's a pretty moist spring.
Dude, right now, it's you and Ash.
What do you think of moist as a positive thing?
Right now, I mean, Josh is basically out of it.
He's not in it.
It's kind of me versus you right now, Justin.
OK.
I think you're 28 to 31.
Three-point gap.
Cool.
One more target.
All Ash.
One more target.
She's the...
She keeps our team morale up.
She's a great partner.
Yeah, a little far back.
A little high left?
A little bit.
A little lighter than mine.
It's pretty low, huh?
Do you guys see that?
Yeah, I think you're down in his kind of armpit.
It wasn't that bad of a shot.
There we go.
One more target after this.
We'll get a score update.
And bring it home with the world-famous moose.
All right, let's see what we got up here.
Jess Antonio.
Where's Jess?
Oh, low.
Five.
Found that in the dirt.
Tim and Nolan.
Nolan and Tim.
Tim was a five.
Nolan's an eight.
Eight.
Fives.
Josh and Liam.
Tens.
Oh, baby.
A couple of tens.
Got to shoot that hometown release.
My dude, drive one out.
No funny business either, Nolan.
Hey.
What do we call that, baby?
Call it Timmy's hinge.
Call that HB cheating.
Call that a hinge, dude.
You think Josh can even shoot a hinge?
I know I can't.
Sunshine, I can shoot it better than you.
Last target.
Here's the thing.
Both arrows count for partners.
This will be interesting for sure.
Both arrows count.
Add them up.
Here we go.
I get to lead off on the final target.
Yeah, the unfair thing is Tim and Justin's releases are basically set both stupid, stupid deep.
Hey, we hang out.
We hang out in the shop.
You guys like it deep.
We scheme.
81, Nolan.
Let's zip it up, all right, dude?
All right.
I just texted him deep and he knew exactly what I was talking about.
He cleared his weekend.
Get to shoot into the shadows, Josh.
Do you like this?
Little challenge.
That's pretty good.
Both arrows count.
This is a very nice light right now, Josh Jones.
Yeah, it's ideal.
Nervy.
You got some safety.
The click's like 10 miles deep.
Watch how hard I jump when I click.
You like it?
I like it.
This is my dude.
We can seal him up right here, Nolan.
That's how it takes a normal human being forever.
You got it, Nolan.
Ooh, a tie.
Might be a five.
Yeah.
It's close to an eight line, though.
Huh?
Oh, I jumped like a...
Who's next?
I'll send it.
All right, that's fine.
The bird's the word.
Yeah, I needed that like...
We need these, Liam.
60% faster.
We made up a little.
Josh is undefeated on my channel.
Yeah, it sucks.
Don't want to ruin it.
I hate every moment of this.
He has a good reputation.
I really do.
I'm not sure how good my reputation is.
Are you getting all competitive right now again?
Well, I'm always competitive, you and I.
You can't help it.
I guess it's innate in there.
Yeah.
I won't care about it later, but right now I'm pissed.
All right, so there's no safety on this, right?
No, you just rotate until you hear a click and then pull a little more.
Rotate a little more.
Rotate to click and pull, pull, pull.
And it's going to be like really deep.
Holy ----.
I told you.
Keep going.
Just keep going.
There you go.
There it is, baby.
Now keep pulling.
Neck.
Ooh, foamies.
The foam.
Better than I thought.
Yeah, I know.
Josh loves this release.
We were arguing about this last night about how garbage this thing's set up.
Set up like a child.
I hit here and I was like, holy ----, dude.
I felt like my hand was already cranked back.
He does the same stupid ----.
No, Justin and I like to shoot with a nice neutral hand.
I know, right?
No, it's a neutral hand.
Find it.
Yes.
Right next to Timmy's.
Nobody else can shoot this piece of ----.
I believe in you, Antonio.
Have you ever shot a hinge?
Every now and again.
Okay.
A true ball.
I forgot what it was called.
Let's get that click.
Jesus Christ.
Find that click.
There you go.
Keep pulling.
Trustthefloat at gmail.com.
Oh, that's gone.
See ya.
That's like Antarctica, dude.
Just like Florida.
As far as I'm concerned, the only one in here worth a ---- is Justin Grimes.
Wow.
What's his opinion?
Teach their own.
We like shooting from here.
Josh likes shooting from here.
We have less leverage against the release.
The anti-roll?
That is for sure.
We have less leverage.
That's for sure.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Jess.
Crane to your face and then just rotate it until you hear a click.
And then once you hear the click, that's kind of like your warning and say,
okay, keep rotating a little more and then it's going to go off.
It's going to feel weird.
Don't let it freak you out.
I doubt you could make that thing go off while drawing it because it's so heavy.
There you go.
Okay, rotate your hand up a little bit like that.
Yeah, there you go.
I'll just keep pressure against the bow too.
Yeah, and then pull that top finger.
Yeah, there you go.
There you go.
You're close.
Now keep going.
There you go.
I was concerned that was going to go terribly.
It went.
Well, I'd actually be surprised if you don't,
because it's set up just like your piece of garbage.
It's in there somewhere.
Yeah, I can't see the animal at all.
My lens is bad.
You got it, Ash.
You can do this.
That's why we trained the other day.
No, I was like, Tim, did you secretly tell me something?
And just remember, if you screw up, it lives on the internet forever for the rest of your life.
No, you got it, you got it, you got it.
I was like, I don't know.
Index finger heavy.
Yep.
And then roll to click.
Yes.
Yeah, it's pretty conservative.
That one's pretty conservative, yeah.
Yeah, that one's set so, so deep.
I couldn't, I don't know if I could make it go off drawing it back.
You got it, Ash.
Yep.
Yeah, you're golden.
Yep, you're good.
And then just roll to that click.
Yep.
There you go.
Now keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling.
Get at it, girl.
That's that surprise brief.
Nice job.
You get foam?
No.
You bastard, Tim.
Chicken dinner.
What did you have, Noli?
I've got the hand three finger.
Was it, how terrifying was it?
No, it wasn't as bad, but definitely need some more practice with that.
I know.
Thanks for helping today, dude.
Yeah.
I think you guys might have taken it.
Final, final score.
That's a 10.
That's an eight.
So that's 18 for Tim and, yeah, you got that?
Yep.
Give me another name.
Dirty's got a five.
Zero.
You guys were good till you weren't.
I know, I know, we're solid stuff.
Uh, 18.
No, sorry, sorry, sorry.
He's got a five and I got an eight.
So that's 13, 13, 13.
And did we already do Justin and Antonio?
Nope.
Five.
Oh, baby.
Who's that?
That's me.
Yeah, Tim and Nolan one, um, plus 13 is 46.
Two and what's second place?
Uh, Josh and Liam, Liam at 46.
Third place is Ash and Justin at 38.
And then, uh, Jess and Antonio at 28.
But how many was it?
Stay tuned for the sequel.
My dude, my dude.
Good job.
Help me bring home my first victory on the channel.
Nice.
Nice job.
All right, next episode we swap bows.
Oh, God.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, yes, deal.
I am not paying for that.
