Is too much tinkering bad? What MFJJ wont be carrying in the new Nashville Archery shop

[@brettwelch8368]

i needed something to get my mind off my MS diagnosis and I heard on rogan that you couldn't think of anything else when shooting a bow. so I gave it a try and fell in love!

[@Erick-ie8ll]

God bless you

[@justins965]

Hey man if you can sign up for your local archery range. People are super nice and will help you get into the sport.

[@andrewbeaumont6149]

What brought me back to archery? Life changed, and things that made me happy in the past are becoming part of my life again. Watching and listening to Josh and others have reignited the passion. Watching Josh's bow reviews have been great and helped me make the decision to buy a new Lift X my last bow was 2008 Hoyt Katerra which is still a great bow but there have been some huge advances since then. I like to thank Josh for his stance and approach first for constantly saying to support your local archery shop and secondly pushing for people to learn to work on their own bows and understand what is causing tuning issues with that knowledge if you can't fixit your self you have the information to explain to your local shop the issue.

[@leroyjones769]

You two were made to podcast together. The way you guys interact together, for me is on a different level. I look forward to many more. Definitely a little bummed when it was over. Good stuff.

[@ScottOwens28]

This is a great podcast! I learned so much about FMJJ. I'm from Louisiana and I already want to come to the new store!

[@GAA777]

20 years ago, looking down the barrel of a gun and knowingly there has to be something more challenging. Walked into an archery shop in Bridge City, Texas and never looked back. Shout out to the crew at Precision Archery, been a long time since I have been there, but their impact created this journey!!

[@Broganofficial]

Being in East Tennessee glad to see MFJJ opening up in Nashville. Motorcycle wreck earlier this year made me put my time and effort into something other than motorcycles, archery was it. After healing up from the wreck, with in the first month of having the first bow, Matthews Lift, I got my first deer on my first hunt with the bow. Those events happening after something traumatic got me hooked into everything archery.

[@garrettaguillard]

I grew up rifle hunting and had an opportunity to hunt an elk with a bow on private land. A game warden friend of mine shot his first bull that year and let me borrow his bow for the last 6 days of the season. I shot my first cow elk with a bow on the last day. I’ve been hooked ever since!

[@RogerMeinert]

Getting back into archery after 25 years away. Bad health choices made me way overweight. Taking charge of my life, getting moving and archery gives me exercise with a purpose. Bought my bow the day before Thanksgiving and shot my first indoor tournament 10 days later.

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Hell yeah!! This is very cool to hear. I’ve struggled with weight to a lesser extent over the years. Food is a crazy drug.

[@TCoutdoors95]

Been bow hunting for 5 years and never loved archery, only bow hunting. That all changed this year and honestly in part due to my tinkerer at heart and watching content of arrow building and proper form and everything. Now I’m sold on building your own stuff and prepping for 3d.

Brandon, you are entertaining and affable. Along with Josh, you key off of each other well. Keep posting, even if you think it’s a nit noy subject, trust me, you can still make it entertaining! Great pod, lots of fun, and I even had a beer with you both!

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Appreciate the feedback!!

[@borntoharvest]

Congratulations on the shop Josh! Can't wait to come up from New Orleans to visit!

[@maxgeorge8746]

Congratulations. Looking forward to the opening

[@T-boneoutdoors]

Good stuff !!! SEC welcome MFJJ , BTW YES to 3 blade , MEGA MEAT

[@deanbrantley]

I’m in the same boat. My interest has died the more my setup has been refined to what I like. My tinkering days have come to an end. Kids also make it harder to do anything.

[@ryanpeterson9838]

I use to do a lot of ultra long range rifle shooting. I was force moved with work across the country and I could no longer shoot my guns far. My dad and brothers would go bow hunting and I was talked into it. I shot my first deer on my second sit and I was hooked. I couldn’t believe how close I was and it made it super exciting. I found I had to stay in better shape for archery and tinkering was the same as my gun. I love trying to find the most fogginess and building a really accurate set up. Arrow flight and lighted nocks are mesmerizing and a lot of fun too !

[@thenameiwantedwastaken]

Hey Brandon The “going hard at first” is typically referred to as “Hyper Fixation” and it’s a spectrum thing. I’m the same way. I go hard for 6-18 months and then throttle back and focus on something else, I never get out of each fixation, I just throttle back a bit and focus on the next interesting thing

[@mikebarriga]

Nice to see more of Brandon lately.

[@axegekko6477]

Pumped to stop in! Just bought my first bow last month and just teaching myself in my backyard at 20yds with YT south of Nashville. Told myself start cheap and build into it. Now the shopping list is huge. (Just buy an Omega or Tudor to scratch that itch)

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Watch John Dudley’s “school of nock” videos. Very very helpful. I’m jumping off the deep end on watches already…. Don’t tell my wife!!

[@jasontruesdale4364]

My girls and job had me away from bow hunting the last 10years. I wanted to get back into bow hunting because of my Dad couldn’t hunt anymore due to Parkinson. He showed me how to bow hunt and I needed to get back to what I love to have my Dad with me when I’m out hunting. I went out and bought a Mathews Lift 33. It was a great year and shot a nice 8 pointer at 56 yards. I’m going full bore back into archery that I just took my bow technician class and I want to start my own small archery shop. I will be at the ATA show this January.

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

That’s a great story. I’m sure your dad is proud. Sorry tj hear about his health issues

[@huntsimple9527]

MFJJ nailed it when he said the best way to improve is to make your shooting count, keep score. If you don't, you will fool yourself into thinking you are better than you really are!

[@billatkinson6807]

Been bowhunting since 98 when I move to Kentucky. Grew up out west rifle hunting. Hope to see you guys at the Tennessee TAC SHOOT

[@LukeWilloughby-o1b]

I caught the bug after purchasing equipment to do my own work at home, press,vise, draw board, arrow saw, thanks podium archer!

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

That’s actually a really good point. When you dig into the small details it can mean more. Almost gives it a soul for some reason.

[@paulheberling2750]

What got me into archery was the superior penetrating power of a bow with a heavy AMF arrow

[@515Bowhuntr]

Been hunting for three years now all self taught and I’m hunting with a Mathew’s Drenalin solo cam I’d give anything for a new bow! Three years three bucks and three doe’s with it and slowly saving for a new lift x but it might be next season before that happens! My local bow shop is exactly how Josh described, hide in the back and barely say what they are doing. Hell they didnt even paper tune my setup. But I love having KZbin and the aid of real professionals good luck on the new shop!! Heading into late archery season here in Iowa !!

[@jordanpowell228]

Curious about goldtip. Thats a big company thats been around awhile

[@Gibsonlife573]

I use Vantage Point Archery and they're right here out of Indiana single bevel 125 grain up to whatever you want pretty much they are made out of a high carbon tool steel which is supposedly S7 tool steel

[@benjamins7799]

Boujee Bowhunter, B-Mac on the Mic, Brandon Unbridled… call it what you want I’m just glad this has become a thing.

[@goelzprogram]

The bug that bit me was finally realizing deer season could be longer than just 2 weekends and after shooting my first bow I was hooked.

[@bryanmoorefield8890]

68 been shooting since I was 6. My cousin taught archery when we went to farm for vacation that’s where a got the big. Still have my first bow i bought at 6,an Indian fiberglass recurve. Also last 20 years I only shoot 3 arrows at a time and have them numbered that way I remember each shot and how it felt anymore than that I can’t remember how the shot felt. Just my thoughts. Love your podcasts 🦌🏹🌲⛰️⛺️🦃🙏💪

[@gregdorey3394]

The hybrid design is my favorite. I have used several. The distances, however, really do show what they can or cannot actually do. An old hybrid, after sharpening, dead ringer rampage were a very good hybrid. Under 40 yards for my shots though. Now dead ringer has many other options.

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

What got me into archery? Well three things MFJJ,DAN STATON,AND TIM.

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

I saw the videos of Dan in the mountains hunting with Tim. And then I saw MFJJ in videos and that was it. I started buying everything and started tinkering and a year later here I am I’m a newbie archer I shoot the Mathew’s Lift and I put everything on my bow watching Josh I bought bakers bow vise, arrows, arrow saw,black gold duel sight, podium stabilizers, I mean everything from MFJJ. Love my bow thanks MFJJ.🙏🏽

[@wouldntyoulike2know883]

I’m so pumped for you to be here.

[@jasoncain8561]

Just hope Josh has lefties in stock. Super stoked for this shop.

[@OutdoorMarlin35]

The bug that bit me was my dad giving me my first bow at five years old and I’ve been shooting ever since and I’m almost 34!!! I don’t see a future without a bow in my hand! And I’m super excited for MFJJ‘s new shop, It’ll only be about 40 minutes from me!!!!

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

That’s a great mount in your profile pic!

[@OutdoorMarlin35]

Thank you sir!

[@The_Rowdy_One]

[@Jamiebob9771]

Seen tac big sky video on youtube watched all of them then went down the rabbit hole got a bow, wife got a bow got tickets to big sky 2024 and now I'm hooked. Yearly summer vacation now

[@shaneg8531]

Great video!

[@optimuscrime608]

Shot my first deer at 12 years old with my Browning Micro Midas. That was in 2002. I’ve shot a multiple deer with a bow every single year since then and I’m 34 years old today. Crazy to think I’m only 34 and have 28 years of archery experience and 22 years of hunting with archery equipment. I’ve strictly bow hunted for the past 5 years. Shot my biggest buck last year with my Phase 4.

[@DavidBowCrazyBabyak86]

Dude Brandon was made to podcast,you two are great together,i imagine Tim with his common knowledge would make it amazing and if you added Dan oh shit the 4 HORSEMEN have arrived

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

I imagine that will happen at some point

[@tjrou2005]

The Beast heads fly so good as distance because they are light which offsets the wind drag a bit. Every one of the 4 Beast heads I weighed are 97ish grains. Sevr's are all 100-101. I'm convinced that's why they drop so much less at extreme distances.

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Could be a small contributing factor but likely not all of it. Drag has to be in the equation

[@christian_U81]

the openultra box loks like i d**k, nice pod, looking forward more

[@jerryjohnson525]

My "bug bite" was a combination of a buddy that's really into archery and myself being "gunned out" and needing something new to dive completely into...

[@andymussack]

Easton Five-Oh has me fired up! My goodness!!

[@harveygalloway3965]

I am excited for this store opening.

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Me too!

[@xcr-fg7nd]

Got into archery realizing I could hunt during the rut in Iowa and see way bigger bucks than I’d ever see gun hunting.

[@Gibsonlife573]

I tried two different Mechanicals and honestly after the second one pulling it out of a Reinhart expensive foam block Target in the blade literally broke off I lost my biggest buck to date over a mechanical I will never go back and I believe the reason why a lot of guys honestly shoot mechanical broadheads is because of tuning

[@Ducatistto]

My bug that bit me was the 3D competition, I wanted to finally start is some friedly competitions and do not want to be the last place and got 2 trips to US this year so I got bette accessories to my NTN in spring, and return with Match 30 and accessories in late summer. In October signed up for first compatition and was not lact in my BU class :P We do not have a legal bowhunting in my country in Europe, but I already found some frineds who visit the neighbour country to hunt there so looks like maybe that option will be open soon.

[@ryanphillips8834]

The bug that bit me was literally just the season time/less people/ getting close enough to hear the animal moving and breathing and spending time with my dad. Love archery been doing it for many years but have never got an animal with my bow have had many awsome opportunities that have failed due to equipment failures or me (mule deer and elk spot and stock wy). Going to buy a new bow and go all in next year tired of just filling my tags with a rifle.

[@jasonhuggins8944]

what got me scrolling like you're looking for a watch? During covid my oldest son wanted to learn archery. That lead me back to archery after not shooting since the 90's as a kid his age. I built my shoulder back up enough to shoot a compound bow. Now I'm searching for a new bow i could do target and hunting shooting thanks to Josh's review of the Darton Sequel 35 st2 and Lift X 33.

[@XXXston3wallXXX]

I had friends that got Into archery which brought me back to it. Dove down the rabbit hole and went from shooting a bow to knowing so much more.

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Very nice to hear. Glad you were able to get built back up to shooting strength!

[@chrismoore7280]

Went to a local sportsman’s club for a youth day to show kids what all you can do I shot a bow at a hay bail and fell in love.

I find myself feeling like I need to tuck in my elbows the whole time I'm watching this..

[@richardganz9318]

heads up on cross bows , have a lot of spare parts and strings, cams, limbs .

[@Fite234]

43:16 Dude, if this was there when i was at Campbell, i would be working there. I lived at the only close shop we had in 07-11 in Woodlawn. I love the Ashland area. Ive thought of moving back millions of times. Hunting, fishing, and country living are amazing around there. I got into archery to have something that was mine. I grew up in a divorced family. I could shoot my bow anywhere. From 12 on, a bow has lived in my hand. From getting dropped off in the woods to the archery shop. Lift means drop makes perfect sense if youre into areo engineering 😂

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

“Lift means drop” is such goofy ass engineer speak!! Hahaha

[@Fite234]

@brandonmcdonald6121 it's just like flying. When you're falling out of the sky, fall faster nose down 😆. I definitely hope to catch you at the shop sometime soon, too. I've been a fan of yours from your beginnings. Let's go, Brandon! 😂

I went from Mathews z7 to Hoyt defiant to Mathews vxr and next year I will get my first new bow but haven’t decided which yet.

[@fr8cture]

I really like the SEVRs personally.

[@brandonmcdonald6121]

Agreed. I do as well.

[@roycefletcher551]

24:04 Dude, you nailed it for years and years I’ve always had this dream of killing an elk with a bow, but I’ve never had the bug to actually get off my ass and do it. Then two years ago while we were remodeling our house and living in a camper in the driveway I open the door in the morning and saw a giant eight point Whitetail 60 yards away in my front yard and I thought damn if I had a bow, I could do this. Then I was hooked.

[@philiptweet5970]

5-years for me. Coming up on time to get a new one in a year and a half now.

[@krisaunedi4920]

That little throwaway bit about Gold Tip @ the start has been on my mind since this aired. I hate that Vista sold off the Kinetic Group to CSG, and now very curious to see what they do with the remaining brands like Gold Tip. GT can't be wildly profitable, and I struggle to see any revolutionary changes they could be bringing to this specific industry to differentiate themselves. It's a decent, respected tier 1B brand in a market that seems dominated by two at the top on the prestige/quality side, with several competing on there value/cost lower end of the market. Gold Tip is unfortunately​ in the middle, which I would think is economically precarious. I'd think Black Eagle is a peer in this respect. My $$ is on Vista offloading GT to one of their competitors who maybe has the brand caché and could benefit from the manufacturing capabilities. (all random musings and conjecture)

[@ToddChapman-d9g]

There is a top notch bow shop on the east side of Nashville that has tried to get a Matthews dealership and they will not give it to them. You come to town and they give you 200 new bows. Not your fault but I think that it's sorry on Matthews part.

[@Gibsonlife573]

If you watch that video where gritty bowmen just shot that bull elk and you watch the Arrow go in and damn near Bend in half straighten up and then barely go in just a little bit more and he was shooting a mechanical I believe a lot of it has to do with the mass

[@GardenArcher7625]

In Germany Bow-Hunting is a serious crime, but we are allowed to train for it..and if you have a regular hunting license you can add the bowhunting - license for if you visit other countries - BUT I learned you never shoot more than 30 meters (ever) at an animal.. So I do not get, why a broadhead needs to fly 100 yards.. Well, Bowmar shot big game animals in Africa from 70, 90, 128 and what not.. but on the average we do not draw 90lbs. and only hunt for deer, turkey or hoggs..
