Our Annual TAC Vids coming in HOT... you're going to have some fun watching us hooligans shoot foam! -DS

[@lowerValleyhunter]

It was definitely a fun Weekend. Enjoyed the course the weather was awesome besides the rain storms. I also got to do a little mountain biking on the mountain. Wish I could run Into you maybe next year.

[@Watchoutwhitetails]

Dan man I really enjoy your humility and true love for the sport! We’d love to see ya out in Vermont for TAC this year you should come and give New England elevation for a spin 🎉 but seriously greatly appreciate your content man keep it coming I’ve learned a lot from you boys!! You earn and deserve my sub man!!

[@johnlillywhite823]

In a situation as embarrassing, frustration, and rage enduring as a dry fire, MFJJ did an absolutely amazing job at immediately jumping into action. “This is why you don’t talk during someone’s shot. Let someone else shoot and I’ll take a look at it”. He took a little responsibility, and offered his assistance. Incredibly professional, and honorable.

[@jhuntley575]

Lol I know 2 guys that have dry fired. Crazy but somehow it does happen. That guy shouldn't be embarrassed. Mfjj was cool about it.

[@aninjastruggle]

Also, that was the most overwhelming archery experience of my life! Only my second 3d course .. its a high bar :) thanks again @elkshape and @padiumarcher

[@timbow50]

Stop running your mouth when someone is shooting. It’s flicking rude. Who wants to hear your stupid story right then? NO ONE! Most archers don’t have the ability to lock out what’s going on around them and totally focus on the shot. Keep being rude at an ASA tournament and you will be removed.

[@Joshua-1986]

It was a Hoyt so he’s fine anyways

[@ryckgarrett1214]

What a blessing to include the Pastor and opening in prayer…much respect Dan

[@michaelrocke316]

I love hearing how/why people got into archery and the mountains. Being an outdoorsman helped save my life and get me sober.

[@jkeithhowe]

Dan did a great job editing, he really captured what it felt like to be in the group

[@ElkShape]

Thanks for filming all the nonsense buddy - until next time! -DS

[@aninjastruggle]

I agree! Yall made a great team on this one. This was an awesome group!

[@jeckol3200]

great video. You guys seem like a bunch of great men. Maybe I will run into you in the elk woods.

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Not as many bleeps as I was expecting!

[@TheLeSausage]

Thanks for letting me tag along with you Boyz. It was so much fun being in the mountains of Montana, shooting bows with like minded people. The STOKE Level was high! Thanks.

[@ElkShape]

Likewise homie!

[@scottcoon905]

Ok so your content gets better all the time. And hearing all the tips Josh has is amazing and love the archery banter between everyone!!! Keep it up boys

[@tysobol]

Great video! I was hoping to bump into you guys out there, but not this year. Something to look forward to for next year's TAC Big Sky! Keep the epic content coming. You guys are doing great things for our community

[@pauljackson8657]

It was great getting to meet you on the mountain, my daughter was thrilled she made the video. Thanks Dan for the great videos you make, your content has helped my shooting and hunting a lot.

[@samlewis6314]

Love this! Jesus and archery, can’t be beat. Also, Justin’s shirt is dope.

[@aninjastruggle]

Thanks dude! Trout cowboy for life!😂

[@jessehaynie9487]

Hey Justin! What’s your Insta?

[@aninjastruggle]

@@jessehaynie9487 Jesse, my dude! I just started it, but it's @lollygaggeroutdoors

[@ezarchery1012]

Goof Balls, If shooting at 8,000 foot elevation makes your arrows fly higher that is do to the thinner air and less forces of drag on your arrow. So your speed over the ground went up. Same as the affect on Airplanes. Gravity stays constant. More TAC videos please!

[@amorusmusic]

Build the community and save the wilderness. Appreciate you ElkShape Team.

[@Outdoorbowhunter]

Looks like everyone had a great time. We also had a few mistakes at 7 Springs TAC. We had a dry fire a derailed bow and a limb split. But other then that is was a blast. Heading out west in July to shoot at Solitude TAC on Sunday. TAC is definitely a experience all archers should do.

[@Timberdam]

Dan That was great ! You guys had a prayer, Jayson Matzinger, Great company , great Weather and most of all you had Fun !!

[@jeffreylagrua9962]

Great stuff Dan. Love the raw videos. Great fun can’t wait for the next.

[@ElkShape]

More to come!

[@clintmurray3795]

I really hope I can win this trip one of these years! Looks like an absolute blast to shoot TAC with this group! Great job fellas!

[@Loffleroutdoors]

Was awesome to meet you man! Love the video 🤘🏻

[@oldpapawwithastrat9384]

Great video. Good group of people. Prayer is always a good start.

[@williamhart8087]

It was fun to watch. Great video!

[@GiftedOutdoors]

Dan with the upload again. Thanks brother! 12:15🤍🕊

[@loganchapman105]

First I want to say I appreciate the content you guys put out and how you try to get more people into the sport! The only thing I want to critique is that while yes the gravity is minutely different, I believe what is most effecting the arrow flight is the decrease in barometric pressure (which is directly related to gravity). But air tends to be influenced far more than we are, thats why you have much less dense air at that elevation while you still relatively weigh the same

[@XXXston3wallXXX]

Thank you, ABT

[@noaht215]

The rawness is what’s entertaining! Keep at it! MFJJ droppin knowledge nuggets around 9:10 👌🏼

[@ElkShape]

Appreciate it!!

[@seantimmerman2360]

Love it Dan looked like a bunch of fun

[@pikdiesel]

Shooting a TAC with Dan and MCJJ is on my bucket list 🤘🏻

[@TaylorTravelsTheWorld]

great meeting you guys this weekend!

[@mjc_208]

Looks like it was a great time with lots of laughs!!!

[@harveygalloway3965]

Looks like a GREAT time!!

[@RP-rc5cz]

21:22 Dan, I noticed your rangefinder hanging out from your bino harness. After you feed the rangefinder pouch strap through the bino strap, tuck the vertical rangefinder strap under the horizontal strap on the rangefinder pouch before snapping it together and it will hold it upright. Marsupial has a video on how to do it that explains it much better than I can. Love your videos as they have taught me a ton!

[@markkahler1130]

Joel Turner would lose his mind watching this video... some epic trigger punchers on this watch. Wow!

[@tperryb]

Lord almighty, you put out a lot of content. Thank god. I watch it all. And, thank you.

[@bbrinkley77]

i dry fired at tac san antonio this year on friday. had to make the walk of shame with a broken string. luckily my local shop hooked me up and i managaged to finish the weekend.

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Looks like a lot of fun was had on day one!

[@fuenstock]

Great! Looked like a lot of fun all around!

[@ElkShape]

Very!

[@raymondtapatu6869]

You have some amazing views my friend thank you for sharing such amazing country side appreciate you friends ❤🤘👊

[@mattlee3474]

The dude saying "that's 5 points baby" after shootin the foam rock under the foot 😂 classic

[@lowerValleyhunter]

Great video guys I wish I could have caught up with you. Saw josh jones but I was intimidated by his mohawk. It was a fun course this year. Hey, Dan, next year i'd love to go. By the way, are you going to the Mountain fest, blacktail.? If you are see you there.

[@darrenlowry7477]

Great video.

[@shanefredrickson9235]

I have got to make it to TAC next year!!

[@jeremybarbee7331]

floater "sad ballad of Danny boy" 🤘🤘🤘

[@Piratedavessaltylife]

I was feeling a mew release out and dry fired one time the day before opening day Elk in Idaho. The string shredded. I drive back to Post Falls Bass Pro from St Joe ID in 2 hours, got a new string put on, and was back at camp by 10 pm. Wont do that again.

[@nickbargouthy5235]

If I ever end up out west anywhere I will add a day of vacation to come to sva to meet y’all

[@jonathandavis7810]

I've been to cowboy church in Kalispell Montana. And I went to a place called skull church. Montana has some rad churches lol

[@Your_mom736]

Not a religious man but I really like the prayer. 🙏

[@kleomacdonald]

Not Quebec!😂 that’s how we feel too. But you should come hunt Black Bear in New Brunswick.

[@jaredwangen8414]

I need to know where I can get those shot glasses and bindings like yesterday

[@joshhoyle6735]

It's not the gravity that affects the arrow flight. It's air density. Relative density changes depending on altitude, temperature, humidity and a couple other factors. So down here at 1500' in Arizona on a 100 degree day D.A. is going to be about the same as being up in Montana at 8-9k on a sunny day.

[@ponce1521]

Sick Video! Looks like some great shooting!! By the way does anyone know what the jacket is that Jesse was wearing? Looked like a nice fleece jacket!

[@Raghornproductions]

Never thought I’d hear someone listening to the sad ballad of Danny boy 🤘🏽

[@andrewanderson6683]

Thought you were going to compete with josh Hines and both have target setups like the trx 34 with landslide and the bow tech

[@williamdesro]

27:02 That figer is pointed directly into my soul.

[@dhpinner5]

Wait, less gravity??? Hahaha, love the videos guys. BTW if you didn’t know, Ejack is an absolute legend!

[@ElkShape]

Agreed!

[@gutz9866]

I think technically the air is less dense which is why the arrow is able to fly faster

[@perryknetter8577]

Great Job 👍 guys

[@ElkShape]

Thank you 😁

[@jaredburkey8]

Jesse where’d you get that brown sweatshirt/jacket from. Its sick!

[@MKeatz]

Are you allowed to take kneeling shots? Or all from upright position?

[@EngineeringDude42]

I wonder if its gravity or less atmospheric pressure that effects arrow flight at higher altitude.

[@drewolm]

Cool man. Basic rule of thumb, move cam towards the tear.

[@ElkShape]

ya, I think we figured that out LOL!

[@SheepdogConservation]

Comedy for days but can't forget the nuggets! I live at 600ft on the Oregon Coast and normally hunt 4500-8000ft last few years and definitely moved my sight housing and pin gap was off.. I'll be dropping the poundage down now!!

[@ponce1521]

Anyone know what Brown sweater Jesse is wearing! It looks nice!! Great video as always!!

[@GotAerialllc]

Its not less gravity, its less air density at higher altitudes, also when its hot and youre at 8000ft your arrow is going to fly!!!

[@beekeeper8474]

Y'all should offer a bow tune and hour long lesson giveaway or raffle. Then you could make a video on it. Think that would be awesome

[@Dimbel12]

I would love to go to a tac event

[@darnellwatkins4031]

🤣🤣🤣dry fire. Hey, it happens.

[@MattMillardOutdoors]

Josh needs to quit worrying about the point direction thru paper. Nock right, move the cams right. Lol. I used to get confused on it too but if you think about the tail end it makes life easier

[@stanlong-rangepensionerman3363]

🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🎯love your work

[@jons7e]

When I create a tape at home, I set it up hitting a few inches low at 60. That way it's dead on at elevation, and even for the hunters, how many scenarios do animals dip, it can only work in your favor. Theory

[@stevenburnett3815]

I dry fired my bow at a 3D shoot in Tahoe three weeks ago. Snapped my string and broke my cams. No bueno

[@richardfiske6311]

Less gravity!? LOL

[@ElkShape]

😝😝😝

[@pikdiesel]

#tac4life

[@beekeeper8474]

What's the quiver that horizontal and low on the bow?

[@jessehaynie9487]

It’s called a “Quivilizer” by Option

[@billmcstay194]

Friggin Bozeman... man... I would say Bozeman played into the fact that I no longer drink.

[@billmcstay194]

Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Essential (Marine) Semper Fi. MFJJ was dropping hung over wisdom bombs on day 1. Dude has knowledge.

[@claytonc8101]

Man he got lucky that the bow survived.

[@davidhowell3609]

looks like the bow he dry fired was a Hoyt, good to know their claim about dry fire testing actually holds up.

[@user-ee4nn5hc6w]

Felt that passion. Brethren on jesus🦌

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

How do you not put an arrow on draw your bow and fire it? I ride the short bus but still can't get my head around that one 😂

[@RP-rc5cz]

I have to wonder how much his being up since 1am that day had to do with his dry fire. Lack of sleep can really mess with a persons cognitive performance.

[@huntsimple9527]

MFJJ says that at elevation your arrows will impact high due to less effect of gravity at elevation. True. He said the best way to mitigate that is to just drop your draw weight a bit. In my experience dropping draw weight can affect draw length and cam timing. Why not just set the dial at 40 yards and then tweak the whole housing to get 40 back to hitting spot on? Seems like this would minimize other changes that can come with changing draw weight.

[@stephenryder8143]

Is it less gravity or less atmospheric press. ?

[@huntsimple9527]

@@stephenryder8143 Maybe both?

[@Texaslivinoutdoors]

I don’t think there’s less gravity at higher elevations the air is less dense

Hey man i am from Québec and we have awsome 3d completions and events too. Epic hunnting grounds and dedicated outfitters the would blow your mind.Why the hating? Did you ever come here to have that opinion ? Got back in archery last december watching youtube channel like yours.. and many others. If you had a bad experience in Quebec, hey i want to know all about it and understand what happened. If you never came in Quebec and you are going on rumors and misconceptions , i would gladly discuss with you was is true and not. By the way, Tim Connors went hunting un Canada with his father and did a video about it. Did you watch it?? He met up with 2 subs of his channel. One of them was a french canadian from Québec. If you didn't watch that video i suggest you do because that Quebec guy was really knowledgeable, mabe more then you.

[@ElkShape]

2 things... (1) JOKES man Jokes... relax! (2) Watch our bear hunt vid, we had a French Canadian (William) with us and he was by far and away the most entertaining sub we got to hang with. -DS

[@mayhem035]

​@@ElkShape The worst thing you can do is telling someone that is relax to relax.. I am very relaxed. You might want to re-watch you video at 26:50 talking to my fellow Canadian a saying that you don't want Québec to be appart of the us but BC And Alberta is ok. Didn't quite get the joke part . I did improve professionally for 3 years internationally. Still don't get the joke part.. hey man I am not hating! Want to move to the states for different reason since the pas 3 years. And it's impossible une I cross the border illegally! I am a legit guy, love the US. Didn't get the joke.. feal quite irritated...

[@metro9636]

Is Jake gone too?

[@bigz5262]

Why is it socially acceptable to peer pressure someone into drinking? It’s the only drug you get harassed for quitting. The guy’s trying to do something good for himself and the people around him try to drag him down to their level. Anyway this is still a fun video
