New Bow, New Season: Getting Ready for the Ultimate Hunt

[@TimkennedyMMA]

Big thanks to Tyler, Jordan, and Archery Country for patiently walking me through the whole setup process! What's your top tip for someone just getting started with bow hunting?

[@Therealmathilda]

You should go on Cam Hanes' podcast/run, lift, shoot.

[@mikepalmer8051]

Work on the fundamentals first then worry about expensive upgrades after you get the basics down without thinking

[@davidsensei2128]

Tim j'arrive régler mes comptes 👀🤣🤜✊❤️🇺🇸 je t'apprécie beaucoup CAPITAINE malgré ton vécu tu gardent le sourire merci d'être l'un des meilleurs soldats au monde et toujours humble simple un modèles merci Tim 🤝

[@davidsensei2128]

TIM KENNEDY ils est vraiment attachant un ami comme lui je donnerai le meilleur pour lui ils a tout pour êtres président en vérité la nation américaine doit avoir un élément comme Tim Kennedy 💪 et sa team car ils sont les AVENGERS ❤️🇺🇸🌏👀☀️⚡ LE COMBAT CONTRE ROMERO ÉTAI VRAIMENT TERRIFIANT 😲

@@davidsensei2128 Yooo SAS troop too ;-)

[@bosbrolic1]

I believe it is very interesting to see a man with as much experience as Tim, still is humble enough and respectful enough to come in to the situation and letting himself be taught and be a little goofy and a normal guy. I really appreciate people like this who has all the reason to be a cocky ass and is not. Much respect to you brother from one Army vet to another.

[@danielthomas9871]

Some people get into hunting later in life and I absolutely love it. So many valuable life skills are learned pursuing wild game.

[@brandonwaddell2583]

That was me. I started about 5 years ago (I’m 35 now), but I’ve been absolutely hooked since

[@jerrodgroce2555]

Great video Tim! Perfect video to get the anxiety out of the entry process of archery!

[@mattfleming98]

I retired my 20yr old Parker bow last month for a Hoyt Alpha X 30". Wow what a difference. That Mathews Lift looks sexy af too. Very hard decision which one of the two to choose at the end, but I've never owned a Hoyt & she shot just a tiny little better for my own feel, so i went with the Alpha X. Congrats Tim!

[@JohnnyChimpo907]

Just set up this same bow in a 33, got the fade to black color that goes from dark green to black. Super stoked with how it feels, shoots, and looks. It’s a sick bow all around.

[@brunol.defreitas8425]

Very good brother!!!! It's always good to learn more about what we like with professionals like these guys!!! I also agree with you, we need to have physical contact with these guys to learn, ask questions and find out what's new in the world of bow hunting. I have a crossbow and I hunt in the South of Portugal!!! A hug to everyone!!!! Be safe!!!!

[@ianlavallee33]

Great video saved this one for my visit to Archery Country 🤘🏼

[@BrendonBarnhart]

I got a Lift earlier this year. Absolutely love it. Great video!

[@TheTexan-gq6yl]

Great video! I have never gone bow hunting but it would be good to work on a consistent draw first. I was at an archery country in Austin because I friend gave me a gift card and I bought quiver to hold all my arrows. Thank you for the interesting video!

[@compound_bros]

Sick rig! Good luck this season🤘

[@mikepalmer8051]

Great vid. Thanks Tim! 🇺🇸I’m leaning toward the Hoyt Alpha X next year

[@TimkennedyMMA]

Good choice! Can’t go wrong with anything from Hoyt, Mathews, or PSE.

[@claytonbruner1808]

Moving the site to where you're hitting. JUST like in a riflescope. I've stuck with a Bowtech Assassin for quite a few years now. I tend to re-string every other season but I spend less time behind a bow than I use to. Just whitetail season in Ks. Just filled the freezer with Pronghorn buck and doe at 558yds and 430yds, respectively, in Montana. Didn't want to be stuck just eating a gnarly whitetail buck this winter🤣

[@dankwilliamz]

This is incredible - I’m shooting a 20 year old Matthews and wanting to upgrade but I had no idea what is available in the market. Thanks for doing this video!!

[@SandeDragon]

Hi Tim ... Mathews bows are perfect ! You need just one pin from 5 to 50 yards with tilting system ( i've same equipments ) best Regards overs seas from Hoyt compound and Dwyer longbow shooter ;-) Respect for your service ! and MMA fighting from a Military Veteran

[@ParasitikOne]

I go in there occasionally. Great guys at Archery Country. I remember their old location off burnet and 183…

[@kw616r1]

Shoulda went with the spot Hogg release that thing is butter

[@win300mag1]

Learn to squeeze and let the bow surprise you, Tim. Lock your finger on the trigger and then pull through your shot with your elbow. Take your fingers independent movement out of the equation. The surprise is your friend. Anticipating your shot can and will for most people lead to that nasty term (target panic) which is not something that I wish on any shooter but comes from the anxiety of shot anticipation. Learn to accept the pin movement at full draw and execute the squeeze through the movement and let the shot break. As a competition archer and bow hunter with 25+ years of experience, that would be my advice to you. Happy hunting!

[@richardfiedler2201]

Best shop in the US. for your Mathews Bow. Reedy's archery. Middleboro Massachusetts, & Amherst Virginia. 🇺🇲🏹🥩🇺🇲

Everyone better say that their own bow shop is the best bow shop on the planet

I can see Tim hunting wild Boar with a spear only!! I mean, can you see this guy sitting in a tree jumping down into a Boar with a spear? Yes!

[@TheDieyet]

Compound bow archer : 3 years old I need a new bow . Traditional bow archer : I have not changed the string on that bow for 30 years !

[@tsa2191]

He should have recommended the Axcel carbon sight with the carbon bar is a lot lighter. All in all awesome setup and thanks for sharing your experience there!

[@jakefryer3071]

My fellow bravo4 it’s a lot different than rackin a bolt and cheek to stockin a long gun ! Archery is hard as shit ! But I absolutely love it ! Team Mathew’s brother ! Stick with it and good luck this season man!!

[@manuelrivas698]

Great video

[@cleartwistedcross]

20:03 Tim’s mind is still on hunting bad guys.

[@Acewhip]

Compound bow... pfft?!?! Wes Wallace recurve for the win!!

[@RodrigoGarciactg]

What are the knocks you used? Looked like they lit up then went dim?

[@jtjt3823]

I had to create a shot checklist to minimize variables while shooting. Anything to reduce needless variables is a must.

[@brandonwaddell2583]

Ngl, this is my first year bow hunting. I grabbed a Sanlida Dragon X8 on Amazon, that bow is wildly surprising on price to performance.

[@bosbrolic1]

A lot of people are mad that the Dragon is as good as it is for a Chinese bow. I have heard the dragon 10 is up there comparable to a Matthews at a quarter of the price and people are afraid to admit it. Check out Backyard Bows channel and he admits it but he hates to say it lol

[@brandonwaddell2583]

@@bosbrolic1 the only thing I don’t care for on the X8 is the release this is comes with and the whiskey biscuit.

[@bosbrolic1]

@@brandonwaddell2583 are all the accessories Sanlida as well?

[@robertking5202]

What about price point, that rig cost over 2k? What are the returns by spending more vs a cheaper bow?

[@Pilfer-Proof]

Another great video!

[@forgerat]

Wearing a legalize freedom shirt and supporting gun control against 18yo adults is kinda ironic

[@Chriscarter6669]

18 yo should not be considered adults.

[@11bravo80]

Watching a channel and then talking shit* about the guy that runs the channel, is even more ironic

[@BenPeters-m6c]

As wild as it sounds, you can use your own head and support whatever you want instead of just supporting the talking points of your party.

[@huntinfit]

Good video 🤙

[@vincecapri1]

I still have my Mattew Outback!!!!!!

[@rangerxlord]

Well that's an awesome shop

It sure is

[@jedhuf7548]

Love the video!! But most famous in the world?!? I’m going with Lancaster for that one. lol love what you are doing otherwise lol

Great vid, Tim! Off vid topic but What pants are you rocking? TIA🇺🇸

[@Gam3ov3r08]

What type of wrist releases are you using?

[@MrRazorback1975]

It’s funny how the current culture is all about bowhunting and BJJ

[@TimkennedyMMA]

Two pretty wonderful things.

[@MrRazorback1975]

@@TimkennedyMMA yep I agree, I just find the merger of these two obscure activities interesting. I’ve Bowhunted for 40 years and started my BJJ career 30 years ago with Mark Eccard and Rickson Gracie, back in the days when Joe Rogan would come in and watch classes. I think Rogan’s influence has brought these two activities together, very few mainstreamers bowhunted before Cam showed up on the podcast a few years back, someone I’ve followed for 20 years. Very interesting indeed, amazing how this has all come together, best of luck

[@brettwalker6016]

Why are you surprised it makes sense. Like you mentioned Rogan has a huge influence . When influential people hype things up people flock to it

[@Afio58]

@TimkennedyMMA - Id love to get you introduced to Chris, the Owner of HHA sports. Excellent human being, does a ton to support veterans, Christian, and they make the best bow sight on the market hands down.

Why not the garmin xero sight?

[@Matto_Harvo]

Mmmmmmmm, Timmy: brand new limb cracks

[@Cdrum95]

This video could have been 1000 times better if it was with a KZbin archery nerd vs just a cool local shop. You should reach out to Josh jones at podium archer and get the best content and knowledge at the same time. Anyways have fun shooting your new bow!

[@Doodlefisher]

Archery is a learning process and i don’t know much about it

[@jackpharris3190]

You selling that vxr?

[@omarsedano4301]

Brother, you should’ve gone to Spokane Valley archery. You would’ve left there a lot more confident plus Josh is also a KZbinr so he wouldn’t have been nervous on TV. Not only that he’s so full of information he would’ve blew your mind.

[@Raga985]

Good video but they had those kind of sights way back when you got your last bow too

[@joshuaabbott7498]

That’s why you buy both releases and you put the strap on the trigger

[@FoxholeIndustries]

The bow rack is the most known bow shop in the country.

[@J.Robinson_]

Keep in mind you get what u pay for.. same last year new bow. And the tech now . U have a dig. Sight click a button and it sets your pins for you . Insane … I’m old school . Floating sight ..

Can I buy your old bow off you? I have a older bow been looking for a Hoyt.

Those aren't bows. They are arrow launching pulley systems :D

[@thegmkiller1967]

Had mine for months, about 1000 arrows so far, not one single issue. It was a single batch issue that's been fixed, and they even made the warranty better on them

[@nkesbe]

In case anyone was wondering why it’s getting harder to draw tags it’s because of all these c-list celebrity and ex military guys turned bow hunters making archery content for KZbin and Instagram. More and more people are becoming wannabe bow hunters cuz of this shit. You can tell the guys in the shop were annoyed about Tim filming this. You can be into archery without having to make a KZbin video about the new bow you’re buying..

[@dr.lector3075]

I hate being poor, just in accesories he's well over a grand.

[@Jonny0Colorado]

Wouldn't trust my ultimate hunt on a potential limb issue

[@bowfisher3626]

Archery country is a joke of a shop. Ordered custome GAS string for a bow, they took my old strings and cables off and then realized they ordered the wrong ones. They did this twice, back to back, same bow. Had some friends with similar issues, whether it’s bow orders, arrow orders, or just wanting a basic tune. Don’t let the influencer force this BS of most renown or quality bow shop down your throats. Obviously Joe Rogan, nock on and others are going to get special treatment
